How can Wi-Fi electrical devices enter pairing mode?
Learn how to put different types of Wi-Fi electrical devices into pairing mode.
Switch devices and socket devices typically use different methods to enter pairing mode. Follow the appropriate instructions for your device type.
Switch Devices
Switch devices typically have the following methods to enter pairing mode:
1. Reset Button
Most switch devices come with a reset button. Press and hold the reset button for a period of time until the device indicates it has entered pairing mode (this may be indicated by flashing lights).
