Tips to Ensure a Successful Setup

Make sure your router is operating on the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, as smart plugs that work with the Smart Life app doesn’t support the 5GHz Wi-Fi.
Make sure your phone (where the Smart Life app is installed) is connected to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. And ensure that the phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi you want to connect the smart plug to.
Take the smart plug closer to your router—for strong Wi-Fi signals. You can return the plug to its position after the setup is complete.
Ensure that you enter your correct Wi-Fi password when prompted.
Turn on Bluetooth and Location on your phone.
