Feit Smart Dimmer Switch Not Connecting to WiFi

Title: Troubleshooting and Fixing FYTE Smart Electric Dimmer Switch

Author: Simon

Introduction: Hi, Simon here. In this video, I’m going to share a problem I encountered with the FYTE Smart Electric Dimmer Switch and how I resolved it. Specifically, the dimmer switch’s indicator light was not functioning correctly, and I was unable to connect it to the app properly.

Symptoms:

• The white glide circle on the dimmer switch appeared dimmer than usual.
• Inconsistency in the light indicator when turning the switch on and off.
• Difficulty in connecting the dimmer switch to the smart home app.

Procedure:

1. Identify the Problem:
   • Compare the malfunctioning switch with a working one to understand the issue.
   • Observe the behavior of the light indicator on the switch.
2. Attempt Standard Setup:
   • Follow the manual’s instructions to add the device through the app.
   • Press and hold the switch for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode.
   • Encounter issues with the app not recognizing the dimmer switch.
3. Switch to Access Point (AP) Mode:
   • In the app, switch from ‘Easy Mode’ to ‘AP Mode’ for setup.
   • This mode allows the switch to emit its Wi-Fi signal for direct connection.
   • Go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and connect to the dimmer switch’s network (usually named ‘Smart Life’ followed by numbers).
4. Complete the Setup:
   • Return to the app and continue the setup process.
   • Once connected, rename the switch for easy identification (e.g., ADU Hallway).
   • Test the switch using the app to confirm functionality.

Conclusion: The switch should now be fully functional and integrated into your smart home system. This method can be useful if you encounter similar issues with smart switches not connecting through the standard setup process.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure your phone is close to the switch during the setup process.
• If the issue persists, check for any firmware updates for the switch or the app.
• If you’re unsure about any steps, consult the manufacturer’s support for assistance.
