Common Reasons Why Belkin Wemo Dimmer Won't Remember Last State
- **Power Cycle Issues:** If there’s a power interruption or manual reset, the dimmer might revert to a default setting, forgetting its last state.
- **Firmware Issues:** Sometimes, outdated or buggy firmware can cause the device to not remember settings properly. It might be a known issue needing a firmware update.
- **Configuration Settings:** Incorrect app settings or configurations might prevent the Wemo dimmer from saving the last state. The app might be set up to default to a specific state every time.
- **Network Problems:** Connectivity issues with your Wi-Fi network can sometimes cause settings not to sync properly, especially if changes are made via the app.
How to Fix the Problem
- **Power and Reset:** Ensure the power source is stable. If power interruptions are frequent, consider checking your power supply. Reset the dimmer by holding the reset button, then set it up again to see if this resolves the issue.
- **Update Firmware:** Go into the Wemo app and check for any available firmware updates. Keeping your device up to date ensures you have all the latest bug fixes.
- **Check App Settings:** Open the Wemo app and check if there are any settings for default states. Adjust these settings so the dimmer remembers the last state rather than resetting to default.
- **Improve Connectivity:** Ensure your Wi-Fi signal is strong where the Wemo dimmer is installed. Move your router closer if possible, or use Wi-Fi extenders. Reconnect the dimmer to the Wi-Fi network through the app if needed.
- **Reinstall App:** If none of the above work, uninstall the Wemo app and then reinstall it. Re-pair the dimmer with the app to see if it resolves the issue.
Additional Tips
- **Contact Support:** If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Belkin's customer support for advanced troubleshooting options or a possible replacement if the device is faulty.
- **Check Manuals:** Review the user manual for any specific instructions or troubleshooting steps that might relate to your issue.
