When accessing Wemo remotely, the Wemo App contacts the Remote Access Server which relays the command back to your Wemo device at home. The Wemo App sets a response time for communication with the Remote Access Server and if it doesn’t receive a response in the time allotted, it will show the message Not Detected. It may take some time for the Cloud to communicate with your Wemo device depending upon Wi-Fi® congestion.
This article will provide you with troubleshooting tips to solve this issue.

The Wemo App on your mobile device is synched to only one Wemo Wi-Fi. Currently, the Wemo App only supports the control of a single Wemo Wi-Fi at a time. If you used your device to set up Wemo Wi-Fi in multiple locations, you will experience difficulties with remote access.
TIP 1: Confirm that the Remote Access feature is enabled.
Make sure that the Remote Access feature is enabled in your Wemo App. For instructions, click here.
QUICK TIP: When the Remote Access is enabled, you may disable it and connect the device locally. Once connected, enable the Remote Access again.
TIP 2: Make sure that your internet connection is working properly.
Internet connection problems will affect the Wemo App's ability to function. It is recommended to check if other devices that are connected to your modem or router are able to access the internet. If not, try turning OFF your modem and router by unplugging them from the power outlet for 30 seconds. Plug the modem first then, after 30 seconds, plug in the router.
TIP 3: Refresh the Wi-Fi feature of your mobile device.
Go to Settings then tap Wi-Fi. Toggle the Wi-Fi button to turn ON then OFF.
NOTE: Refer to your mobile device’s documentation to know how to refresh the Wi-Fi feature.
TIP 4: Refresh the Wemo App.
Tap the Wemo App on your iOS or Android™ device, and then tap the Refresh icon. Allow 30 seconds for the Wemo App to refresh. Alternatively, you can close the Wemo App and open it again.
NOTE: Make sure you have the latest Wemo App. If you don’t have the latest Wemo App version, you may download it from App Store® for iOS devices or Google Play™ for Android devices.

Step 7: Turn all your Wemo devices ON and then OFF using the Wemo App.

Step 9: Go back to Settings > Wi-Fi. Disable and re-enable the Wi-Fi by toggling the button to the left and then to the right.
