Trying to add devices to Smart Home app

Jump to solution

I purchased and installed indoor smart plugs and color changing bulbs today. The app tells me when I try to connect to the devices "connection failed" it follows with suggestions of what to do such as re-entering my wifi password, verifying I'm connecting to a 2.4 GHz connection and restarting my router and or modem. All of which I have done multiple times. Still no connection, even if the devices are right next to my router. Any suggestions please of things I should try to make these work before I return them to the Walmart and drive another 30 minutes more to purchase CYNC devices which I already have working in my home.
