Unable to connect this app back to my WiFi
05/26/2022

After a recent storm out power briefly shut off for 1second then back on but Switchmate devices lost WiFi connectivity. I tried all the troubleshooting steps, remove batteries try again, reboot WiFi router all to no avail. My router no longer shows up in the app itself, but does in every other app that uses my WiFi.This app is the only one having issues.Any help would be appreciated. Please!

I’ve been using the Switchmate app for years and it has been great! The switches and plugs have both worked great as well as the schedules. (I’ve never used the “come home” feature or voice control.)Recently I couldn’t change the name of one of the plugs. So I ended up deleting the app and reinstalling it. I was able to add the plug back with the correct appliance names without issue. Hopefully the rest of the plugs and switches will add back as easily. Using an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 18.3.2

No longer works as before

Not sure what happened with the most recent update, but my switches no longer work. They once programmed and worked perfectly, but now I have to keep resetting them and they may or may not work. It’s so frustrating. A lot of the features are missing and the app has pretty much become useless. Hopefully the developer will fix this issue so the app works as it did before. I use to love Switchmate, now I’m just frustrated and bout over it.

The newest update makes the app unreadable in dark mode. If I try to enable the welcome home feature on a device, the entire app crashes, so that feature is currently 100% unusable for me. Honestly pathetic. I want to believe you care about your customers, but I’m finding it quite difficult at the moment.Edit: now, for whatever reason, the timers reverted to their previous states and I had to reset them. Come on already! Fix these issues!
