Plug in the Smart Outlet
Plug your Emporia Smart Outlet into the wall
outlet you’d like to control and monitor. Use
your phone to check the signal strength of
your Wi-Fi network next to the wall outlet
you’ve chosen. Low/no signal may require a
Wi-Fi extender for the Smart Outlet to work.
You should see the blue LED status light
blink rapidly, letting you know that the outlet
is ready to setup. If not, press and hold the
Power Button for 6 seconds, until it is.

click the menu button to the right of the
