Installing Ring Smart Lighting Outdoor Smart Plug

Setting up your Outdoor Smart Plug in the Ring app is simple. Scroll down for a step-by-step guide.

Before you begin:

• If there is an update available for your Ring app, please update it before you begin. Remind any shared users to update their app too. Updating the app ensures that everyone on your account will be able to see this new device.
• Be sure to install and set up your Bridge before installing and setting up your Smart Plug. You will need to have a Ring Bridge installed and set up in order to connect your Smart Plug to the Ring App and the rest of your Ring devices.

Step Two - Specify Your Location

If this is your first time setting up a Ring device, you will receive a request from your phone informing you that the Ring app wishes to use your phone’s location services to pinpoint your location. Allowing the app to do so will assist with inputting your address.

Enter your address information into the app, then confirm it. If you have established a location previously, you can select it from the list of your locations.
