What If my Ghome Smart plug is not connecting with Google Home?

In case your smart plug is not connecting with Google home then need not to worry. Follow the below given steps to resolve this issue in just 2 minutes. First and foremost we will need to understand what is causing this issue. Is it the settings, or wifi range or any other problem. So, lets begin-

• Firstly, cross check both your Google home device and Smart plugs are plugged in the same room.
• Now, they both should be connected to the same wifi network. If in case they are not then they won’t be able to connect with each other. So, for this you will have to reset the Ghome smart plug. You can do that by holding the power on/off button on it for around 10-15 seconds. Release the button after that and wait for another two minutes until it reboots. Then you can start the setup again. And this time make sure to select the same wifi as Google home during the setup.
• In case wifi range is the issue, then you can setup a mesh system or even a wifi extender to resolve that.
• Plus, some smart plugs have a “remote control” feature in their settings. So, make sure you have enabled that. Otherwise smart plug won’t be able to pair with Google home or even Alexa.
