SMART DEVICES TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST
At ONE SMART HOME we believe that great customers deserve unrivaled customer service and we stand behind everything we do and guarantee your satisfaction. Sometimes, even the best technology can stop working reliably and needs a reset. Understanding how frustrating it is when your smart home devices don’t work the way they should, our goal is to get you fully operational as quickly as possible.
Misbehaving technology can frequently be restored to peak operation by following a simple rebooting procedure.
To avoid unnecessary delays, please follow the below steps, in order:
- Verify that all circuit breakers are turned on in your electrical panel and all devices are plugged in and powered up
- Unplug router and modem (or combo unit like Xfinity) from power outlet
- Wait 30 seconds
- Plug modem in to power outlet
- Wait for DS and US modem lights to light up continuously
(These frequently have little lightning bolt icons next to them) - Plug router in to power outlet
- Wait 5 minutes for router to boot
- Check functionality of smart devices
- If not working, continue…
- Unplug smart home hub (if present) from power outlet
(Connect+, ClareOne, SmartThings, Hubitat, Echo Hub, Google Hub, etc.) - Wait 30 seconds
- Plug hub back in to power outlet
- Allow 5 minutes for hub to boot
- Check functionality of smart devices
