When going through the initial setup, if your device is connected to a 5gHz wireless network, the app can't set up the WM100.  The app doesn't notice or inform you of this.  Switching to my 2.4gHz network worked fine.

Many of the WiFi connect HA devices are pinned to 2.4gHz.

True, and that's ok, but the app should at a minimum tell you during setup to make sure you're connected to a 2.4 gHz network.

Oh yeah... and/or be included in a little instructional safety data sheet. Or at least the manual. The good news is.... thanks to YOU the information is here on the forums.

I had responded to this prior but obviously I had a senior moment and for got to hit post :-[ B:(
I fired of an email this morning to mention this and see about getting that info added to the manual.
In any case I did add that info to the FAQ thread I started.
