The following explains how to re-add an existing Smart Plug to a Genius Hub.

If you have an existing Smart Plug it will need to be factory reset before it is connected to a Genius Hub.

See here for how to factory reset a Smart Plug.

  • Now the hub needs to get ready to add the device.

    On the app tap on Menu, then Settings and then Devices. Now tap on 'Include device' and follow the prompts on the app.

  • Make sure that the Smart Plug is plugged into a wall socket within 2 meters (line of sight) of the Genius Hub (and turn the socket on).

    The red light will flash once every second.

     

    The flashing red light stops flashing when the device has included successfully.

    Or press the clear/red button 3 times in exactly 1.5 seconds.

    On success, the Smart Plug has been assigned a number, write this number on the side of the device.

    The success or failure of the inclusion will be displayed on the app.

  • Now you need to finish the steps here and then add the Smart Plug to a corresponding zone on the app if you want to control when it turns on, so you can control other things such as lights.

    If the Smart Plug is plugged in and powered on at the wall, then it will always boost the signal.

    The light on the front indicates the status of the switch inside the plug. If the light on the front is on then whatever you plug into the plug will turn on, if the light is off then what you plug in will turn off, the light does not affect the boosting of the signal.

    If controlling electric heating or a lamp or anything else, go to the 'Home Screen', tap on the corresponding zone, tap on 'Zone Setup' (under the menu ••• ), tap on 'Assign Device' at the bottom and choose the Smart Plug which is plugged into what you are trying to control.

     

    You also need to delete the old Smart Plug from the list of devices as this no longer exists.

    Go to the devices page (tap the 'Main Menu', then 'Settings', then 'Devices').

    Tap on the ••• and then 'Ping' - this tells the hub that the Smart Plug is not there as it will not reply to the ping.

    Tap on 'Remove Dead Node' - this will remove the Smart Plug from the list.

     

    Do not unplug the Genius Hub or the Smart Plug for at least 30 minutes so the hub has time to save the new settings.
