With the number of Tuya based smart home devices of mine that absolutely will not go in to pairing mode to be connected to the new wifi, I am really suspecting some sort of update happened at some point to force them to die once disconnected.

@FeloniousPunk The devices themselves aren't even entering that blinky pairing mode. We're not getting to the stage of passwords.

@hellomiakoda I had the same issue, it turned out to be the password. I had mine set to a long alphanumeric string that included characters that were not being respected.

@hellomiakoda Just push a small pin in the pairing button hole? Hold for 10 seconds, release.

@FeloniousPunk Line powered socket. Yes, did unplug, replug, replug while holding reset, said "Beetlejuice" three times while holding reset... nothing makes it start blinking

@hellomiakoda Have you tried pulling the battery and resetting? Which device are you working with?
