Your Wemo smart plug is unresponsive and will not connect to your network. You can fix this by performing a manual or app-based factory reset.
- Unplug your older Wemo WSP080 model, press and hold the power button, then plug it back into the outlet while continuing to hold the button until the light starts blinking [0:47].
- For newer WSP100 models, simply press and hold the power button for five seconds until the light flashes white and enters setup mode [1:13].
- To reset via the app, open the Wemo app, go to the devices tab, and select edit [1:47].
- Select your plug, tap on the reset options, and choose to factory restore the device.
Ninja Tip: Before performing a full reset, try simply unplugging the device for 30 seconds and plugging it back in to force a reconnection to your WiFi without losing your saved settings.
You can perform a full factory restore within the Wemo app by navigating to Devices > Edit > [Device Name] > Factory Restore.
