Steps
1
Plug the smart power strip into a standard wall outlet. Observe the device to confirm that the indicator light is flashing, which signifies it is ready for setup.
2
Download the manufacturer's designated app (such as Jinvoo Smart) from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store onto your smartphone.
3
Open the app and complete the registration process by providing the required user information to create an account.
4
Select 'Add Device' within the app. If prompted, perform a long press on the power button of the strip so the device and the app can discover each other.
5
Enter your Wi-Fi network credentials when prompted. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz frequency network.
6
Once the device is connected, use the app to name each individual switch (e.g., 'Studio Light 1') to allow for easy identification and voice control.
7
To integrate with a voice assistant like Amazon Alexa, open the Alexa app, navigate to 'Skills', search for the corresponding brand skill, and enable it by signing into your account.
8
Run the 'Discover Devices' command in the voice assistant app to link the power strip switches. You may then create 'Groups' to control multiple outlets with a single voice command.
Pro Tips
Plug in a device (like a wireless charger) before setup to serve as a visual indicator that the power is flowing when you test the switches.
