Ty

HI Russy. I have installed 6 of these sockets and they add successfully into the BG app/eco-system. But no matter what I do, I simply cant get them to play in the Broadlink App.
I admit I am still somewhat confused by the AP setup mode and the smart setup mode.
According to the BG instructions the suggestion is to press and hold the left power button (A) until the RED LED flashes quickly.
This initiates the smart setup and works to add the sockets into the BG App.
The Broadlink App has a similar set of instructions
Trying to add the sockets using the Smart mode
When getting to setting up device I get
(tick) Phone is connecting to wii-fi: (home network)
(cross) Device is connecting to wi-fi:(home network)
So fail and the suggestion is to use the AP mode
Trying with the AP mode I get instructions to connect my phone to:-
BroadLinkProv
BestCon_wifi_device
However, in my list of wifi networks I can see
A secure network, ‘AP_2359565616’, but no idea what the password would be
or
An unsecure network BG Home-2b5faa which I have tried and returning to the braodlink app , it is not happy and I cant continue.
That leaves me somewhat snookered. So I wonder how you managed to get the sockets into the App as I can see that before I can add them into Home Assistant, I need to unlock them in the Broadlink app.
Any insights would be greatly recieved.
