How to reconnect all your smart home devices to a new WiFi network
Your smart devices need to learn the new WiFi network just like your phone did. Start with your hub. Sign back in and it will reconnect automatically. Then go to your app and re-add each device.
When you switch to a new WiFi network, your smart home devices have nowhere to connect because they only remember the old network name and password. The quickest way is to reconnect your hub first (it's the brain of the system), then use your phone app to re-add each device one by one. Within 30 minutes, everything will work again.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Trying to reconnect all devices at once instead of one at a time. The WiFi gets overwhelmed and nothing connects properly
- Forgetting to reconnect the hub first. If the hub isn't on the new network, none of the other devices will work
- Not waiting long enough between steps. Smart devices need time to search for and connect to WiFi
Signs you need professional help
- You've reconnected the hub and waited 10 minutes, but it still shows as offline Some devices show as connected but don't respond to voice commands or app control You've re-added all devices but some keep going offline after a few hours
