And almost every Smart light comes with a reset button!
The only thing to consider is that it could be a time-consuming task if you’ve got a couple of lights.
You’d need to reset every switch, plug, or other Smart device manually.
This would allow the devices to connect to a new Wi-Fi network from the start.
After you’ve done this, repeat the setup process to connect them to a new Wi-Fi on the SmartLife app.
3. Change Network Names

Many Smart apps and devices need to be connected to a 2.4 GHz network band to work. But if you’ve also got 5 gHz, chances are the Wi-Fi is connected to this network band. And you’d need to change it back to 2.4 GHz to connect with the Smart Life app.
To check which network band your Wi-Fi is connected to, go to your Wi-Fi Settings. And look for “Network Band.”
It shows you the network band you’re connected to.
The best way to avoid getting connected to a 5 GHz network is to change network names. That said, change both the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi name along with the 5 GHz name. You can find these instructions on the Smart app.
After you’ve changed the network names of your new Wi-Fi, you can change the Wi-Fi on SmartLife.
4. Reset the device and try the slow blinking procedure
If you’re having trouble trying to connect your device to the Smartapp Life, try this procedure instead.
First, unplug the device for several seconds and plug it back in. Then try to reset it until it starts to blink slowly.
The Smart Life app will prompt the message asking you for the indicator light status.
Choose the Blinking or breathing slowly and connect to the Smart Life network.
After the device is connected, you can change to the new Wi-Fi.
5. Remove the app and install it back
If the app doesn’t change to the new Wi-Fi, try to log off before deleting the app.
Afterward, install it back and log in to your account. Repeat the setup process and you’ll be able to connect to the new Wi-Fi.
6. Make sure the router is near
If the signals or weak, the Smart Life app may not connect or change to the new Wi-Fi. So try to keep the router near when you’re trying to change the Wi-Fi network on your Smart Life app.
