I have one of these Teckin sp23 plugs but recently change to a bt hub 2 now I can't connect my plugs to the app it comes with.. I've done all the press 5 seconds stuff so many times but it is not finding the plug. Can you help?

[@QasimZafar]

@martynhogarth3286 - I don’t have any experience with their Bluetooth hub. I’ve actually switched to hue plugs simply because of how many hue devices I had. Helps me keep everything in one app.

[@JuanJimenez-fz7sh]

Great advice for my teckin plug

[@QasimZafar]

@Juan Jimenez - Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.

[@johnstillman222]

Great video but ater days of trying with smart life no luck The problem could be The BT Smart Hub2 on quick set or AP mode Have you heard of problems with this hub?

[@QasimZafar]

@john stillman - hi thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊. Are you using a zigbee smart plug by Teckin? I got the WiFi ones because I didn’t want to go through a hub. When I started my smartphone I started with a Samsung SmartThings hub but after that I’ve gotten devices that just work with Google home and don’t require a hub to be connected.

[@johnstillman222]

@@QasimZafar No its the smart socket SP23 which I believe is a wifi device

[@QasimZafar]

[@QasimZafar]

@Veronica Galea - I understand but you’ll need an internet connection to get it connected.

[@edwardtabuno3547]

Was there any timer in it?

[@QasimZafar]

@Edward Tabuno - I don’t recall, the app has been updated since this video so maybe there is one now?

[@EliseLongnecker]

I've been trying to get these to work for hours and the app just won't find the outlets... any suggestions?

[@QasimZafar]

@Elise Longnecker - try turning off the plug, then unplug it and while holding the power button of the plug, plug it back in and keep holding it down until the lights start flashing. This will reset the plug and then try the setup again. This happened to one of my plugs recently and I had to try this multiple times before I got it to work. Hope this helps and I’ll be waiting for your response to see if you got it working 😊

[@EliseLongnecker]

@@QasimZafar it still isn't working. I've tried this method several times.

[@QasimZafar]

@Elise Longnecker - So sometimes what happens is that it’s reset and actually is in the app it just won’t show for some reason. When I did this with one of my plugs it didn’t show up in the list of devices for a while. So I’d say leave the plug for a bit and refresh the app to see if it shows up. I’ve had this issue as well to where the plug is there it’s just the app that’s not showing it.

[@elainejimenez9874]

Quick question. Can these plugs be moved around the home?

[@QasimZafar]

@Elaine Jimenez - Hi Elaine first of all thank you for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊. Yes once you’ve got it setup then you can move it to whichever room you like...just make sure to name the plug according to the room so that you don’t get confused. Hope this helps!

Can I change the wifi on my phone to 5ghz after setting up the plugs and still be able to control the devices connected via the plugs?

[@QasimZafar]

@Kunal Garg - Yeah sure doesn’t matter. It’s only the plug that requires a 2.4ghz connection. It doesn’t have any relation to the way your phone Is setup 😊. Hope this helps and thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊

hi: I cannot get alexa app to authorize smart life app, user name and password for both apps are all correct, it just says cannot authorize at this time try again later, tried about 6 times with the same result, any suggestions??

[@QasimZafar]

Hey Ken I haven’t had this issue before :/ but the app has been updated multiple times so that could be the reason it’s having some trouble connecting. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app on your phone? Sometimes that does the trick. Hope this helps!

[@2official429]

How do I know what plug I have ?

[@QasimZafar]

2official - Where did you buy it from? It should say if it is a WiFi plug.

[@2official429]

Qasim Zafar Amazon , But I’m not really sure what I’m doing tbh 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@QasimZafar]

2official - Did you download the smart life app? Are you trying to setup with Amazon or Google?

[@2official429]

Qasim Zafar Yeah , it’s the smart life app...but for some reason it’s not connecting

[@QasimZafar]

2official - if you got it from Amazon it’s the WiFi plug. Did you select socket WiFi one from the app? Because otherwise if you select the wrong kind it won’t work. Also when you plug it in make sure that blue light is on, on the plug.
