Troubleshooting
Q: Why won’t my device respond to my app
remote commands?
• Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is working
properly and that the Wi-Fi outlet is properly
plugged in and connected to a device.
• Check to make sure the Wi-Fi outlet isn’t placed
too far from the wireless network router. It must
be within a 164 ft (50m) visible range from the
router.
Q: Why won’t the power usage data update in the
app even when my outlet is in use?
• Sometimes it takes some time for the power
usage data to update. If you’re using a low power
consumption appliance, data may take longer to
transfer.
Q: Why won’t the VeSync app allow me to add a
device?
• The outlet has been reconfigured.
• If the device network was set up by another user,
have the primary user share the device with you
so that you can set up the outlet on your mobile
device.
• Make sure your Wi-Fi outlet’s firmware is up to
date.
• Make sure the Wi-Fi password you’re inputting is
correct.
• Try configuration using APN mode.
• Remove the Wi-Fi outlet from its power supply;
wait a few seconds and plug the outlet back in
and re-attempt configuration.
Q: After adding a device, why won’t the device
icon appear on the main screen of the VeSync
app?
• Refresh the main menu screen and the device
should then normally appear on the screen.
Q: After moving a Wi-Fi outlet to another socket,
the outlet is appearing as offline or the light is
slowly blinking blue. Why is this happening?
• Check to make sure the Wi-Fi outlet isn’t placed
too far from the wireless network router. It must
be within a 164 ft (50m) visible range from the
router.
• Check to make sure the wireless network has not
changed and is functioning normally.
• Reset the outlet by pressing and holding
the outlet power button for 20 seconds and
releasing when the indicator light begins to flash
quickly. Then, re-configure the outlet with the
network.
