How to Change the Wi-Fi on Your Smart Life App
The Smart Life app is a popular platform for managing a wide range of smart home devices, including smart plugs, smart bulbs, and smart switches. If you’ve recently changed your Wi-Fi network or updated your network credentials, you’ll need to update the Wi-Fi settings in the Smart Life app to ensure your devices stay connected. This article will guide you through the process of changing the Wi-Fi on your Smart Life app.
Prepare Your New Wi-Fi Network
Before you begin, ensure that your new Wi-Fi network is set up and functioning properly. Check that other devices can connect to the network and that the signal strength is adequate in the area where your smart devices are located.
Note: Smart Life devices typically support only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks. Ensure that your new Wi-Fi network operates on the 2.4 GHz band.
Reset Your Smart Devices
To reconnect your smart devices to the new Wi-Fi network, you’ll first need to reset them. The reset process may vary depending on the device type and manufacturer. Here are the general steps for resetting common smart devices:
- Smart plugs and switches: Press and hold the power button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the LED light starts blinking rapidly.
- Smart bulbs: Turn the bulb off and on multiple times (usually 3-5 times) within a few seconds until the bulb starts flashing or changes color.
Refer to your device’s user manual for specific reset instructions if needed.
Update Wi-Fi Settings in the Smart Life App
After resetting your smart devices, follow these steps to update the Wi-Fi settings in the Smart Life app:
- Open the Smart Life app on your smartphone or tablet.
- If you haven’t already, sign in to your Smart Life account.
- Tap the “+” icon in the top right corner to add a new device.
- Choose the device type that matches the smart device you want to reconnect (e.g., “Socket” for smart plugs, “Lighting Devices” for smart bulbs).
- Ensure your smart device is in pairing mode (e.g., LED light blinking rapidly or smart bulb flashing).
- Tap “Confirm indicator rapidly blink” in the app.
- Enter the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for your new network, then tap “Confirm.”
- Wait for the app to detect and connect your smart device to the new Wi-Fi network. This process may take a few minutes.
Repeat for All Smart Devices
Repeat steps 2-3 for each smart device you need to reconnect to the new Wi-Fi network. This may be time-consuming if you have many devices, but it’s necessary to ensure all your devices remain connected and functional.
Verify Device Connectivity
After completing the above steps, check that your smart devices are functioning correctly by controlling them through the Smart Life app. If you encounter any issues or if a device doesn’t connect successfully, try repeating the reset and connection process.
Update Automations and Scenes (if needed)
If you have set up any automations or scenes in the Smart Life app, you may need to update or reconfigure them after changing the Wi-Fi network. Ensure that all your devices are included in the appropriate automations and scenes and that they function correctly.
By following these steps, you can change the Wi-Fi on your Smart Life app and reconnect your smart devices to the new network. This process will help you maintain control over your smart home devices and continue to enjoy their convenience and functionality.
