Setting up the 1st gen Wemo Mini Smart Plug, F7C063 using an iOS mobile device

The Wemo® Mini Smart Plug, F7C063 lets you turn electronic devices ON or OFF from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet. This home automation device uses your existing home Wi-Fi to provide wireless control of lamps, heaters, fans, and more. You can even set schedules for your devices and control them remotely with an active mobile internet connection.

This article will guide you through the steps in setting up your 1st gen Wemo Mini. If your Wemo Mini has an Apple® HomeKit™ code (2nd gen) and you want to set it up with the Apple Home app, click here for instructions.

Before you begin:

Know your default Wemo Wi-Fi name which is located on the product label at the back of the Wemo Mini. The name will appear as Wemo.Mini.xxx, where xxx is the last three digits of the serial number.
Know the settings of your existing Wi-Fi (name and password).
Make sure to have the latest Wemo App available on the App Store®.

Step 1: Plug your Wemo Mini into the power outlet.

Step 2: Wait for the status light to alternately blink orange and white. This signifies that the Wemo Mini is ready for setup.

Step 3: Go to Settings on your iOS device and connect to the Wemo Wi-Fi. The name will appear as Wemo.Mini.xxx, where xxx is the last three digits of the serial number.

In the example below, Wemo.Mini.4A2 is the Wemo network.
