Lights & power

[magicfan89]

I have a Smart Plug SE that has been working just fine until last week. Now it can't connect. Everything is identical to before (Bluetooth is on my phone, wi-fi is identical, nothing has moved, etc) The plug just doesn't work now.

I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, deleting it from the app and reinstalling it, I get the fast blinking blue light for pairing mode but the app just can't find the thing.

What am I doing wrong?

We recommend performing the below steps and see if you can resolve the issue:

1. Confirm that the Roku Smart Home app and Outdoor Plug firmware are up to date.
2. Confirm the plug is getting power to it. If not, try plugging it into a different power outlet.
3. Are other devices on the network working normally? If other devices are working normally or unsure, suggest restarting the router.
4. Factory reset and set it up as a new device.To factory reset, press and hold one of the power buttons for 10 seconds.
5. Move the plug closer to the router and set it up as a new device. Check the signal strength. If it is below 3 bars, suggest moving the camera closer to the router.

Thanks for the help.

It's an indoor plug, but a factor reset worked for me.
