I have a new WiFi network, so I need to change the settings. When I hold the WiFi button, I can see the SmartLife network appear, and I can connect to it from my phone. But there is no blue WiFi light…fast, slow, or steady. When I try to add the device in the app, trying both the fast or slow flash modes, I send the new WiFi network and password, but it fails. I also tried using the No Display mode, but the app won’t allow me to scroll to the bottom to confirm, the keyboard won’t go away and it covers the button so I can’t move forward in that mode.

Please check if the router settings are correct? Please check the settings according to this post and use the slow flash mode pairing, does it work?

Thank you, that didn’t seem to work when I tried it before, but now it is working.
