Failure to add device during Wi-Fi Connection process?
When adding a device, please confirm the following –

1. The device is powered ON.
2. A Wi-Fi router is connected to a Phone.
3. The Wi-Fi channel should be 2.4GHz. Enable the broadcast & do not allow to hide Wi-Fi.
4. Router’s encryption method is WPA2-PSK and the authentication type is AES, or both are set up as automatic.
5. Devices, smartphones, and routers are close to each other.
6. Both router networks and smartphones function well.
7. If the amount of your router’s connected devices reaches the limit, please try to turn off some device’s Wi-Fi connection and connect again.
8. If the router enables the MAC address filter, please try to remove the device from the MAC filter list.
9. If there is no 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, then proceed with Bluetooth configuration If no 2.4GHz WIFI, then proceed with Bluetooth configuration.

Unable to control the device remotely by the App/Or unable to control the device by the App?
It might be due to a bad network environment or the device is offline.

1. Ensure the device is powered on.
2. It is recommended that you keep the App open for about 3 minutes, and observe whether the device is still online.
3. If it’s still online, please place a smartphone beside your device and make sure they are in the same network environment, try to open a website to check if it’s the problem of the network.
4. After the device is connected, it can be remotely controlled by the App. But if the device is relocated to another place under a different Wi-Fi network, the App is no longer able to control the device unless reconnecting to the device via the new Wi-Fi network.

My device is successfully connected to Qubo App but fails to connect to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
When this happens, please

1. Make sure the ‘Qubo’ skill is added to the Alexa App or Google Assistant App.
2. Make sure the account used in Qubo App is the same as the one in Amazon App or Google Assistant App, and confirm that the account is successfully signed in the Apps.
3. Try to name your lighting devices with simple words in case Alexa or Google Assistant might find it hard to recognize complicated names.
4.  Make sure both the lighting device and voice control device (Amazon Echo / Google Home) are connected to the same WiFi network. If they use different routers, Echo or Google Home might not be able to discover the lighting device.
5. If Amazon Cloud Service or Google Cloud Service breaks down, it would result in network disconnection with lighting devices. In this case, please wait and try to reconnect the devices later.

My device has been successfully connected to the third-party App (Alexa or Google Assistant) but fails to respond or responds very slowly to its voice commands.
When this happens, please

1. Check your Wi-Fi status and make sure it works well. Also, make sure the lighting device is placed near to the router
2. There is a limit for devices connected to one router (Maximum around 16-32 devices). Too many devices (smartphones, TV, iPad, a smart plug, smart switch, smart lights, etc.) would slow down or even break down the Wi-Fi network, causing the problems of slow response or disconnection.
3. Try to name your lighting devices with simple words in case it may take time for Alexa or Google Assistant to recognize and respond to complicated names.
4. Both Qubo App or the third-party Apps (Amazon Echo /Google Home) use cloud services to process information. Temporary service breakdowns may happen during the routine maintenance and update of these Apps, causing dysfunction of the smart lighting devices.
5. Power Cycle Your Smart Plug. It’s a cliché for a reason, but sometimes, all you need to do is turn it off and turn it on again.  Power cycling your smart plug may fix whatever it is that is causing your smart plug to stop responding to Alexa.

To power cycle your smart plug

1. Turn off your smart plug if it has a power switch.
2.  Remove it from the outlet.
3.  Wait for 60 seconds.
4. Plug the smart plug back into the outlet.
5. If it has a power button, turn it back on again. Your smart plug should now have been power cycled. Try Alexa again to see if the device responds.
