Does anyone use Sonoff smart plugs?
I bought a couple to track energy usage. But I can't get them to connect to the app.
They only work on the 2.4ghz band.
Im on Telus and the router is called WIFI Hub. I have logged into the router. I have switched off the 5ghz. I have gone into the eWeLink app and it can't find compatible devices (they are in pairing mode).
I have gone back into the router and then used the Smart Device Network instead. I have switched my phone Wifi to connect to this as the name is not broadcast and the password is different.
WPS interface is also set to 2.4ghz.
Ive followed the Telus instructions regarding smart devices and they say the same thing.
Ive logged into the app (Android Phone) and the app still cannot find the device(s). The plugs are in pairing mode.
Im at a loss. Im not sure, any idea why this would be happening?
THw
On a side note. I had my laptop plugged into the smart plug as I was attempting to troubleshoot this. My laptop switched to battery mode after a while. WTF. Then I realised my fridge had not been on. I disconnected the second device from the fridge. If the smart plugs are not connected, do they stop electric flow?
Edit: I forgot to mention. I have reset the modem and the router. I have also used the online Telus thing to reset the optical connection.
