To reset a Gosund smart plug, plug it into a working outlet, then hold its power/reset button until the LED starts blinking rapidly, which puts it back into factory‑reset pairing mode and clears previous Wi‑Fi/app settings. After that, you need to set it up again in the Gosund, Smart Life, or Tuya app as if it were a new device.

Basic reset methods

  • Power cycle “quick reset” :
    • Unplug the Gosund smart plug from the wall.
    • Wait about 20 seconds to fully cut power.
    • Plug it back in and wait for it to boot; this often fixes minor offline or lag issues without erasing settings.
  • Standard / soft reset :
    • Make sure the plug is firmly connected to a normal (non‑dimmer) outlet.
    • Press and hold the power/reset button for about 5–10 seconds until the LED starts blinking quickly.
    • This usually clears Wi‑Fi data and puts the plug into pairing mode, ready to reconnect in the app.

Full factory reset steps

  • Keep the plug in the outlet with power on.
  • Press and hold the power/reset button for 5–10 seconds (some guides say up to 15 seconds) until the LED flashes rapidly.
  • Release the button once the rapid blinking starts; the plug has now been reset to factory settings and removed from its old configuration.
  • Open the Gosund, Smart Life, or Tuya Smart app, tap the add (“+”) button, and follow the prompts to add the plug again using a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network.

If reset doesn’t seem to work

  • Check the LED pattern : Rapid blinking usually means pairing mode; if it stays solid or off, try holding the button a bit longer or repeat the reset. Different batches may use slightly different timing.
  • Use a different outlet : Test the plug in another known‑good outlet to rule out power issues.
  • Confirm Wi‑Fi compatibility : Gosund plugs typically work only on 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi, so ensure the phone and plug are on that band during re‑setup.
