Step 1: Plug your Efun smart plug into the wall socket
The first step is as simple as connecting your Efun smart plug to the power source.
So, power on your Efun smart plug by plugging it in!

If you’ve deleted the app prior reset procedure, download and install it again.
Then, run it using your smartphone or a tablet.

Efun Smart Plug Common problems (Troubleshooting tips)
If you’ve been using the Efun smart plug for a while now, you might find it not working.
So if you find your Efun smart plug not working as it should, fret not!
Here, I’ve covered the common problems of the Efun smart plug. To help you fix these problems, I’ll provide you with super easy troubleshooting tips.
Red light with flicking blue light: This is a common connection problem that you might encounter in your Efun smart plug. Resolving this easy – just ensure that your Wi-Fi network is working well. Plus, ensure it’s getting excellent signals.
Account lost on the Smart Life app: This is a not-so-common problem related to the Smart Life app. If you find that your connected Efun smart plug ID or account keeps getting lost, configure it. To configure it, check the app updates if it needs to be updated. Or, delete the app and reinstall it back. You could just use the Alexa app to control the smart plug.
Connection lost: Another common problem is when the plug loses its connection. When that happens, you might have trouble connecting it to your Alexa Echo devices. Try to reconnect it by pressing the power on the button located on the smart plug. Next, re-add it back to the Alexa app after resetting it. This should fix the problem.
Stopped working: If your Efun smart plug stops working altogether, it could be because it’s bricked. While you can reset it to factory settings, chances are it might still not work. But before you stop using it, consider rebooting, resetting, and ensuring a strong workable internet connection is in place.
Wrapping Up
Learning how to reset your Efun smart plug comes in handy when it stops working. You can get it back up and running with a quick reset procedure. Just remember that it’s not a 100% workable solution to all the problems. To fix other problems, check the Wi-Fi connection, and app settings to troubleshoot it effectively.
