Frequently Asked Questions
Wemo plug offline only at night — cause?
Wemo plugs going offline at night often coincides with router software updates or channel changes that the router applies during off-peak hours. Check your router's scheduled maintenance settings and disable overnight updates if possible.
Wemo plug LED is solid but app shows offline — why?
A solid Wemo LED indicates the plug is powered but the app may be out of sync with the actual device state. Close and reopen the Wemo app to force a refresh. If offline persists, the plug has lost its cloud connection despite having local network access.
Wemo plug keeps going offline after every router restart — how to fix?
This usually means the router assigns a new IP address to the Wemo plug via DHCP each time. Log into your router admin page and assign a static IP (DHCP reservation) to the Wemo plug using its MAC address. This prevents the plug from being confused by IP changes.
