S40 Won't turn on or go into Pairing Mode

Okay, I’m at my wits end on this one and hopefully, someone on here has an idea or direction.

I have a couple of S40 smart plugs that are being problematic. I originally paired both of them (but didn’t change the name and I’m not sure if that’s what is screwing me) but since I paired the second one, neither one of them will manually power on or allow me to go into pairing mode again. I deleted them in the app but can’t get them into pairing mode to repair them.

Occasionally, if you keep pressing the button, it will latch and display a red light for about 5 seconds before turning off (unlatching) and nothing else happens. Help

Unplug them for awhile, do the reset and try again to get into pairing mode. Remember to name them just to be safe. I do not think not naming them is an issue because they carry an embedded ID number as part of the data. Take your time do not rush the process. GL
