How do I reset my wemo light switch to a new Wi-Fi?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To reset your WeMo light switch to a new Wi-Fi network, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate your WeMo light switch: The first step is to find the WeMo light switch that you want to reset. It is usually installed on the wall, like a regular light switch, but with a small indicator light on it.

2. Prepare for the reset: Before proceeding with the reset, ensure that you have access to the Wi-Fi network you want to connect your WeMo light switch to. Make sure the Wi-Fi network is functioning properly and that you have the required login credentials.

3. Reset the WeMo light switch: To reset the WeMo light switch, press and hold the bar or button on the switch until the ring light turns blue. This usually takes around 10 seconds. Once the ring light turns blue, release the bar or button. This action will initiate the reset process.

4. Connect to the new Wi-Fi network: After resetting the WeMo light switch, it will enter setup mode and create a temporary Wi-Fi network. Go to your smartphone or tablet’s Wi-Fi settings and connect to the temporary network with a name starting with “WeMo.” Once connected, open the WeMo app or the device settings on your smartphone or tablet.

5. Set up the WeMo light switch: Within the WeMo app or device settings, follow the prompts to set up the WeMo light switch on the new Wi-Fi network. This may involve selecting the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to and entering the network password.

6. Complete the setup: After entering the required information, the WeMo app or device settings will attempt to connect the WeMo light switch to the new Wi-Fi network. Wait for the setup process to complete, which may take a few moments. Once connected, the indicator light on the WeMo light switch should stabilize and indicate a successful connection.

7. Test the connection: After setting up the WeMo light switch on the new Wi-Fi network, test its functionality by turning the light on and off using the WeMo app or manually pressing the switch. If everything is working as expected, you have successfully reset your WeMo light switch to a new Wi-Fi network.

Remember, these steps may vary slightly depending on the specific model and version of your WeMo light switch. It’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or manufacturer’s website for detailed instructions specific to your device.

Resetting your WeMo light switch to a new Wi-Fi network involves a few simple steps, including resetting the switch, connecting to the temporary Wi-Fi network, and setting up the switch on the new network. Following these steps should help you get your WeMo light switch connected to a new Wi-Fi network successfully.
