LocalBytes smart plug - unable to connect to device

david-y

Hi folks,
I’ve just received four smart plugs pre-flashed with Tasmota that I ordered from yourselves.
I have followed the instructions, in that I have plugged one into the mains and connected to the SSID using my Android smartphone. I obtained an IP address of 192.168.4.2 via DHCP.

This is where I’m getting stuck. I can’t connect to the gateway IP address of 192.168.4.1, and if I use a network discovery tool like Fing it can’t find any other IPs on that SSID.

I’ve tried all four smart plugs and they all behave the same way.

Can you advise if you’ve seen this before, or if you think I’m doing something wrong?

Thanks
Dave

Ignore me - the issue is due to the latest Android updates from Google blocking discovery traffic.
Potentially worth knowing for the future as this will affect all current Android devices.
