Something not working?
The app can’t find my Notiswitch
Check that the light is blinking fast. If it isn’t, hold the button for 3 seconds to start pairing mode. Make sure Bluetooth is on and your iPhone is within a few metres of the plug.
The light keeps blinking slowly
Notiswitch can’t get online. Check the WiFi password, make sure the network is 2.4 GHz and that the plug is within reach of your router. Then hold the button for 3 seconds and pair again.
The light shows SOS
Unplug Notiswitch, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. If the SOS pattern comes back, email us and let us know.
I got a notification too early, or too late
Notiswitch learns how long your machine pauses during a cycle, so finish detection improves as it sees more cycles. If it keeps getting it wrong, email us with the appliance and the program you used.
I have a new router or WiFi password
Hold the button for 3 seconds to start pairing mode, then follow the steps in the app again to give Notiswitch the new WiFi details.
I’m giving the plug away
Hold the button for 10 seconds for a factory reset. The new owner can then pair it with their own account.
