Common Problems

Q: Why does my device stay “Offline”?
A: The newly added device needs 1 – 2mins to connect to Wi-Fi and network. If it stays offline for a long time, please judge these problems by the blue Wi-Fi indicator status:

  1. The blue Wi-Fi indicator quickly flashes once per second, which means that the switch failed to connect your Wi-Fi:
    ① Maybe you have entered the wrong Wi-Fi password.
    ② Maybe there’s too much distance between the switch your router or the environment causes interference, consider getting close to the router. If failed, please add it again.
    ③ The 5G Wi-Fi network is not supported and only supports the 2.4GHz wireless network.
    ④ Maybe the MAC address filtering is open. Please turn it off.
    If none of the above methods solved the problem, you can open the mobile data network on your phone to create a Wi-Fi hotspot, then add the device again.
  2. Blue indicator quickly flashes twice per second, which means your device has connected to Wi-Fi but failed to connect to the server.
    Ensure a steady enough network. If double flash occurs frequently, which means you access an unsteady network, not a product problem. If the network is normal, try to turn off the power to restart the switch.

    Question

    Why is my Sonoff DIY BASIC disconnected in eWeLink, why is the firmware update from 1.4.1 to 1.5.1 failing, and is a subscription required to use the app?

    Answer

    Based on the SONOFF DIY BASIC manual and standard eWeLink functionality, here is guidance for your issues:

    • Subscription Requirement: No, a paid subscription is not required for basic use of the eWeLink app. The core features of controlling your Sonoff devices remain free.
    • Disconnected Status: If your device shows as offline, check the Wi-Fi LED indicator on the device:
      • Flashing once per second: The switch failed to connect to your Wi-Fi. Ensure you are using a 2.4GHz network (5GHz is not supported) and that your password is correct.
      • Flashing twice per second: The device is connected to Wi-Fi but cannot reach the server. This usually indicates an unstable internet connection or a firewall/MAC filtering issue on your router.
    • Failed Firmware Update: Firmware updates often fail if the Wi-Fi signal is weak or unstable. Try moving the device closer to your router during the update process. If it continues to fail, try restarting the device by turning the power off and back on before attempting the update again.
    • General Troubleshooting: If the device remains unresponsive, you can perform a Factory Reset by deleting the device from the eWeLink app and then re-pairing it using the "Quick Pairing" mode (long-press the pairing button for 5 seconds until the LED flashes in a two-short, one-long cycle).
