Reason for Wemo Switch Stuck on "Discovering"
- Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: The Wemo switch requires a stable Wi-Fi connection. If your device is not properly connected to Wi-Fi or if the connection is weak, it can cause the switch to remain in the "Discovering" phase.
- Network Configuration Problems: Sometimes, the network settings or the router configuration can hinder the proper functioning of the Wemo app and the Wemo switch.
- App and Firmware Compatibility: Outdated app versions or Wemo switch firmware might not sync correctly, resulting in the switch getting stuck during discovery.
- Device Range: If the Wemo device is too far from the router, it might struggle to maintain a stable connection, causing discovery issues.
How to Fix the Problem
- Check Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure that your Wi-Fi is stable and that the Wemo switch is properly connected to the network. Restarting both the router and the switch can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
- Update App and Firmware: Make sure your Wemo app is updated to the latest version. Likewise, check if there are any firmware updates available for your Wemo switch and install them.
- Reconfigure Network Settings: You may need to reset network settings on your router and the Wemo switch. Ensure both devices are on the same network frequency (2.4GHz usually works best).
- Check Device Range: Position the Wemo switch closer to your router to ensure strong connectivity. If needed, use a Wi-Fi range extender to improve signal strength.
- Restart the Discovering Process: Close the Wemo app completely, wait a few seconds, then reopen it to start the discovery process again. Sometimes a fresh start helps in successfully detecting the device.
