How Do I Restore My WeMo to the Original Settings?
Note: Before restoring a WeMo device to its original settings, make sure to disable remote access and any rules associated with that WeMo device from every iPhone, iPad, or iPod connected to that WeMo device. If you do not disable remote access from all iPhones, iPads, or iPods, you may need to re-install the WeMo App.
You might need to restore your WeMo device if setup fails, you change your router/settings, or for some general issues. Restoring your WeMo device will erase all the settings and set it back to the factory defaults. The easiest way to restore your WeMo device to the factory default is through the WeMo App
- In the WeMo App, select the tab where your device is located and choose Edit at the top of the screen.
- Select the device you want to restore then choose Reset Options.
- You can choose Reset to Factory Defaults to clear all data and restore all setting to default values.
Another way to restore the WeMo device is to do it manually
- Unplug it. Hold down the Restore button (labeled on the top). While holding the Restore button down, plug the WeMo into the wall outlet and continue to hold the button down until the indicator flashes orange then release the button (this should take about 5 seconds).
