Picture of an Amazon Smart Plug, connected to AC power, and switched ON. Note the solid blue light at the left front of the unit.
You may need to hard factory reset an Amazon Smart Plug to restore proper operation should it stop responding to Alexa commands coming from either your Echo smart speaker or the Alexa app. Or, perhaps you’d like to change the WiFi network and / or password to which this smart plug connects. In either case a hard reset will do the trick.
Plug the unit into a working wall outlet as shown next. The status light will flash red several times, and either begin flashing blue, or turn off completely, as it does in the next picture.
Find the Action button in the next picture, pointed at by the blue arrow. Hold it in, until the light on the front starts blinking red.
You may see the status lamp flash a blue and red at first. If so, then keep holding the Action button until the blue stops, and all you see is a red on and off blinking, as shown next.
Wait for the light to begin flashing red. You should see no blue in the blinking pilot lamp.
Then, when you release the button, the light then glows a solid red for several seconds while reset takes place.
Finally, the light begins blinking on and off blue (no red here) as seen next.
This means that the reset is now finished, and your smart plug is now ready for setup or sale.
