I recently encountered an issue with my Wyze plugs where they would blink as if they were offline, despite showing as online in the app. This was quite frustrating because I couldn’t control them remotely or update their firmware. After some research and troubleshooting, I found a solution that might help others facing the same problem.
First, I noticed that the plugs were connected to my Wi-Fi network and could be pinged, but they weren’t responding to any commands through the app. I tried resetting them multiple times, but the issue persisted. It seemed like they were online but not fully functional.
After some digging, I discovered that the problem might be related to the router’s settings. I checked the router’s firewall and realized that it was blocking certain ports that the Wyze app uses to communicate with the plugs. By adjusting the firewall settings to allow traffic on those specific ports, the plugs started working again without any issues.
This experience taught me the importance of checking router configurations when dealing with connectivity issues. If you’re having similar problems with your Wyze plugs, I recommend reviewing your router’s firewall settings and ensuring that the necessary ports are open. It’s a simple fix that can save you a lot of frustration!
