Network Change: Smart Home Devices

Info

When the network is changed, some devices aren't smart enough to automatically reconnect to the new network.

To fix this, the devices need to be re-connected to the network.

Smart Plugs/Garage Door

  1. Verify that accessories are offline.
    • These devices should be blinking blue or red, and show offline in the Smart Life app
  2. Press and hold the button till the device blinks quickly. Wait a few seconds after blinking quickly, then press and hold the button till it blinks slowly. (AP Mode)
  3. Follow the instructions in Smart Life app to add a new device.
  4. Ensure that HomeBridge can control the newly added accessory. This may require removing cached accessories (three dots -> Homebridge Settings -> Remove All Cached Accessories)

Cameras/Wyze Hub

  1. Verify that cameras are offline.

    • The cameras should be blinking blue and red, the hub should be quickly blinking blue, and show offline in the Wyze app

  2. Follow instructions to add new camera/hub in Wyze app

  3. The devices should respect their IP address reservations. Double check the IP of the device.
