Change the Wi-Fi on my Smart Life App

In the following paragraphs, we explain how to change the Wi-Fi network on your Smart Life app effortlessly. Let’s get right into it!

Changing the Wi-Fi on Your Smart Life App

To change the Wi-Fi on your Smart Life app, you’ll need to perform a factory reset on the device(s) you connected to the Smart Life app. Next, set up the device(s) again and connect to the new Wi-Fi.

That’s the only way (as of now) to change the Wi-Fi on your Smart Life app, as there’s no straightforward way to do that within the app.

Note that performing a reset will erase all previous settings, including integration with Google Home and Alexa. So you’ll need to set up your device(s) again with the Smart Life app and other apps you previously paired with.

If you’re not sure how to go about this, follow the instructions in the following paragraphs.

Setting Up Your Device with the Smart Life App After a Reset

  1. Open the Smart Life app on your phone and sign in with your existing credentials (email and password).
  2. On the home screen, tap the Plus (+) symbol in the top right corner or scroll down and tap “Add Device”.
  3. Tap the icon of the device you want to set up (Socket, Breaker, Switch, etc.).
  4. The app will prompt you to confirm that your device is blinking rapidly (showing it’s in pairing mode).
  5. Check and tap the confirmation message on the screen.
  6. Enter your Wi-Fi password and follow other instructions on the screen to complete the setup.

Note that the process may differ slightly depending on your device, so you just have to follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device.

More so, most smart devices that work with the Smart Life app do not support the 5GHz Wi-Fi frequency but 2.4GHz. If you experience problems getting your device to connect, check your Wi-Fi band (via the router) and set it to operate on the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band only.
