Resetting the smart outlet can help you troubleshoot many 
issues you may have. Please keep in mind that factory 
resetting a device will erase all of your custom settings and 
restore the default settings.

Press and hold the power button for more than 15 seconds, 
or until the light indicator blinks blue rapidly (4 times per 
second). The light indicator will blink rapidly for 10 seconds, 
and the smart outlet will turn off.
