Switch dies not respond (even to touch) after the firmware update failed!

Hi,
Today, anew update was available but stopped at 90% and then failed.
The switch is not responding over app or alexa (no wonder, network light keeps blinking)
It does not even respond to touch. So, lights stay the whole time on.
And re-pairing or adding to app also won’t work. it is not found by app.

Please help me out!

Regards
Jaber

Apparently new firmware v3.7.3 (for many device types) has a bug!
It always stops at 90% and then device “dies”.

You can recover them just by simply disconnecting and reconnecting power.

A new fixed firmware is needed!

Update 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 same situation, 90% and devices dead. Only unplugging it can bring it back to life.

I tried Fusion Link and it showed up successfully, but it still shows as offline on the app’s homescreen.


The Firmwareversion is: 1000.2.925, Model: DW2-Wi-Fi, FW Name: OPL-DMA-GL

Hi there,

We have located the root cause of the issue and it was found that some DW2 devices were offline due to connecting error in one server of AWS. We have fixed the issue and your device should now be back online. Please refresh the APP and check to see if the devices are back online. If you find that it is still offline, please do not hesitate to submit the support ticket through the eWeLink App and contact us again, and we will do everything possible to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked to get your device back online.
