Not a silly question, and the short answer is yes. If you go into the Alexa app, you can group them and then set up a routine, or use the voice command to turn them on or off as long as you're signed into the same account that as your sister's smart devices were added to. Good luck!

Hi, I use these these plugs at home with Gosund app and Alexa. I moved one to my elderly Dad's house, set wifi to 2.4, he uses my alexa acct. Alexa finds it and gosund app finds it but the plug stays in pairing mode with blue light flashing and won't respond to commands either voice or via app. Because i had previously used this plug I deleted it from my Gosund app and tried again but same thing happening. Any ideas welcome

@HandzforHire Год назад

Donna, that's a tough one. There are a few different blinking patterns on the Gosund plug and each pattern means something different. Are you sure your blue light blinking pattern is the correct one for pairing? Also, did you start with the Gosund app first and then move to the Alexa app? I'm not 100% sure you can pair direct to Alexa the first time. Wish I could help more! This is the customer service email for Gosund if you're still having trouble. globalservice@gosund.com If none of my suggestions work, hopefully they can help!

@HandzforHire 8 месяцев назад

Hmmm great question. My guess is your new wifi is running at a 5.0 Ghz frequency. These plugs only work on a 2.4 GHz frequency. Most times you can call your provider and they can walk you through on how to set up your wifi router to accommodate both 2.4 and 5.0 GHzs. Best of luck!

video does assumes router is set to 2.4ghz. Please add tutorial on how to switch channels from 5.0 to 2.4 because this plug does not work on 5.0

@HandzforHire 4 года назад

Hi Mike, you're right that it will only work on a 2.4 ghz bandwidth. I'll add that in my comments. I have a simultaneous dual band router that allows me to connect items at 2.4 ghz or 5.0 ghz at the same time. All the devices in my house that can't handle 5.0 ghz will default to the 2.4 ghz bandwidth. You might want to check what type of router you have. If you have it set to 5.0 ghz then it's my guess it's either a simultaneous or selectable dual band router. Simultaneous, you can go into your router settings and change it to both. Selectable you can go into your settings and switch back and forth between 2.4 and 5.0. Hopefully this article will tell you a little more about it www.howtogeek.com/222249/whats-the-difference-between-2.4-ghz-and-5-ghz-wi-fi-and-which-should-you-use/ Once you know your type of Router, you should be able to Google the make and brand to get the direction to either switch to 2.4 ghz or add 2.4 ghz to your network. I hope that helps!

Is there any way that I can rig it so that I can turn the light on and off with an ordinary light switch without requiring me to go buy a big “Big Brother” Alexa?

@HandzforHire Год назад

Definitely! If you have a light switch hooked up to an outlet, then you can just flip the switch on an off. In that case you wouldn't need a smart plug. If you want to put a light on a timer though, you can setup routines through smart life app, and it will turn on and off whenever you like. I hope that kind of answered your question. A switch will just turn the outlet on or off, so if there's no power at the outlet, then the smart plug will be unresponsive.

@HandzforHire 3 года назад

I’m sorry you’re having a tough time. The smart plugs unfortunately only work on the 2.4 GHz frequency so I imagine that’s your problem. Most WiFi routers (even new) can broadcast in both 2.4 and 5 GHz. You can probably call tech support for your router to find out how to setup both. Once you know, I imagine everything will get fixed quickly. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Oh no. Have you changed or redone the wifi router in your house recently? These only connect to 2.4 GHz bandwidth, not 5.0 GHz. Sometimes when people change their wifi settings, it messes with the smart plugs. If that's not the problem, then I'd delete the smart plugs that aren't working in your app, and reinstall. Hope that helps!

@ytrobloxdev6356 6 месяцев назад

What do I do if it says plug unrisponsve

@HandzforHire 6 месяцев назад

I'd say it's important to make sure it's trying to connect to your 2.4 GHz wifi. Sometimes we update routers and the only wifi signal being put out is 5 GHZ. You can contact your internet provider to ask how to setup 2.4 GHz at the same time a 5 GHz. That could be one reason. If that's not the case, then I'd contact GoSund direct (globalservice@gosund). They should be able to troubleshoot with you and if they can't fix it, then I'm sure they'd send you some new plugs.

@SamuelCogswell 3 года назад

@HandzforHire 3 года назад

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I'm going to take guess that you might be trying to connect it to 5.0 GHz wifi frequency, but the Gosund only works on a 2.4 GHz frequency. When your wifi is setup, the signal can be sent through your house with a 2.4GHz and/or 5.0Ghz frequency. Some people have both setup, but some have one or the other. Most modems with a wifi router these days are equipped to do both. If you're not sure, you can probably give your internet provider a call and have them walk you through it to find out.

@HandzforHire Год назад

Hmmm, is there a chance you only a 5 GHz broadband in your house? These require 2.4 GHz. If you only have 5 GHz, a lot of time you can set your wireless router to have both frequencies. Good luck! I hope you get it soon!

Hi Jase, are they working with the app? These smart plugs only work on 2.4 GHz wifi bandwidth and if you try to hook them up to 5 GHz wifi, then they won't work. Let me know and I'll try to help.

You skipped the whole reset router to 2.4 GHz, which makes the setup look a lot easier than it actually is.

@HandzforHire Год назад

I'm sorry, but my router was already setup for both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz simultaneously. It would have been good to show how to set your router. In the past I've given people the advice to call the tech team of the internet provider as they are familiar with how to make the switch if needed.

@HandzforHire 3 года назад

Hey Biff, sorry you're having a rough time. The smart plugs unfortunately only work on the 2.4 GHz frequency so I imagine that’s your problem. Most WiFi routers (even new) can broadcast in both 2.4 and 5 GHz. You can probably call tech support for your router to find out how to setup both. Once you know, I imagine everything will get fixed quickly. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

How's that? Just not connecting well? I have noticed some minor issues of late as well. The timers I have set up have missed in some cases. Have you upgraded your modem/router recently? These only run on 2.4 GHz and sometimes new wireless routers are only set up for 5 GHz.

Sorry to hear that. Make sure you're connecting them to 2.4GHz wireless instead of 5.0GHz. Your internet provider can help you determine which frequency you're trying to connect them to.
