I just received a pair of Wyze plugs. I can not add them to my network because my 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks share the same name and password. I don’t really care about that anyway as I don’t want to use the app. I just want to use the on/off button on the side of the plug. That works great, but the stupid pairing light won’t stop blinking. How do I make it turn off or go solid without pairing?

Wyze Plug User Manual [image] Wyze Plug Setup Tips Power & Lighting As a WiFi device the Wyze Plug will have a lot of the same general caveats as the Bulb. That said, if you are having setup troubles, make sure none of these things are interfering: To start, if you are on iOS 13, confirm that you are using the most recent version. Also, iOS 13 users should update to version 2.5.53 or above of the Wyze app using the Apple App Store. iOS 13 won’t allow the app to see your local networks if location services for the app are turned off. You can turn the location …

He needs the plug manual, although I can’t understand why he’d get a smart switch and use as a dumb one?

I don’t think that is a iOS issue, I think it maybe how your router is setup. Because the plug attempts to contact the router when it attempts connection to the SSID that is both 5 and 2.4, the router may steer it to only 2.4. I am not totally understanding of how that all works, but in my house I have a main SSID that is combined, and then a second SSID that is only 2.4 for all my smart home items. @sivartk, are you able to make a guest or a second SSID network that is only 2.4 so you can use the app with the plugs?

My 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks share the same password but names are different , using the proper procedure I do not have any problems setting up plugs. You should be able to go into your router and change the name on your 2.4 GHZ

I had to disable my 5GHz network to get it to work, but after all that trouble I am going to return them or gift them. I had it plugged into a radio and the plug emits so much RF interference, the radio is unusable, so they are basically useless to me.

He needs the plug manual, although I can’t understand why he’d get a smart switch and use as a dumb one? I was unable to find a switched plug that is small like the Wyze plug. They all tend to be multiple outlets with a long cord which won’t work well on my counter top .

Will these work for you? https://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Outlet-Adapter-Kasonic-Indicator/dp/B07F55MTK8/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=on+off+switch+for+outlet&qid=1571785413&sr=8-5
