The Smartplug is a smart device that will let you to turn on and off the power of your connected devices. In addition you can see the power consumption of the device connected.
For more information kindly read our instructions.
If the LED flashes in the Smart Plug, it is not connected to the router.
Refer to the instructions for connecting / pairing components to the router / network.
During the installation process, you will find detailed instructions for each step of the installation.
You can fasten the Door / Window Switch and its magnet piece with the supplied screws or double-sided adhesive tape. Note the mark on the side of the sensor for the magnetic piece. The magnet should be 2-4 mm from the sensor when the door / window is closed.
Test the function: The LED flashes when you open the door / window.
It depends on where it is located (distance from router), and how often it will be waken up. Based on manufacturer information the battery under normal usage should last 1 year.
LED indicator on gateway provides information about different modes of operation. Patterns that can be observed are:
LED solid patterns:
- Solid blue -> all OK – gateway is connected through Wi-Fi
- Solid red -> network problem (the gateway could not connect to the router, was disconnected from the router or cannot reach the communication server through that router or incorrect Wi-Fi password was entered during installation)
LED blinking patterns:
- Blinks blue once and after that LED is off -> gateway is in access point mode (typically during installation or Wi-Fi reconfiguration).
- Blinks blue every 3 seconds -> gateway is working properly and is connected to the router (valid for gateways with 2xx firmware)
- Blinks green -> gateway is communicating with components on Z-Wave network
- Blinks blue every second -> gateway is downloading a new firmware
- Toggles between bright blue and dimmed blue -> gateway is decrypting downloaded firmware
- Blinks blue very fast (every 250 ms) -> gateway is updating firmware
- Blinks red -> gateway indicates serious issue – hardware or software problem
- Toggles between red and blue -> gateway attempts to re-connect to Wi-Fi after network problem
In problem situation re-start gateway. If the problem persists, contact support
