Resetting Your Homebase Password

If you’ve forgotten the password to log in to your Eufy Homebase, you must perform a hard reset to set a new password. This process will reset your Homebase to its factory default settings, so you’ll have to re-add all of your Eufy devices and set up your preferences again after resetting the password.

• • First, locate the small reset button on your home base’s back or side panel. It will be a tiny pinhole button.

• • Next, press and hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds using a paper clip or pin until the status light on the front of the Homebase starts flashing red.

• • Release the reset button. The Homebase will now reboot itself and reset to the default factory settings.

• • Once the status light turns solid blue again, the reset is complete. Your Homebase is now ready to be set up again with a new password and your Eufy devices.

• • Re-download the Eufy Security app and tap “Add Device.” Choose “Homebase” and follow the prompts to create a new password to log in.

• • Give your Homebase the same name as before, or choose a new one. Then, start re-adding all of your Eufy cameras, sensors, and other devices one by one to your home base to build your system back up.

• • Save your new Homebase password in a secure password manager app, or write it down and store it in a safe place. If you forget it again, you’ll have a backup record.

Resetting your Homebase password is the only way to gain access again if you’ve forgotten it. While it may seem annoying to have to re-setup all your Eufy gear, at least you’ll be able to get into your Homebase again and keep an eye on what matters – the security of your home.

So you’re having trouble accessing your Eufy Homebase? Don’t worry; you can try a few things to get connected again.

Check the power

Ensure your Homebase is plugged in and the outlet is functioning properly. If it’s plugged into a power strip or surge protector, try plugging it directly into the wall outlet instead.

Reboot your HomeBase

If your Homebase seems powered on, but you’re still unable to access it, try rebooting the device. Locate the small reset button on the back or bottom of the Homebase. Press and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds until the LED indicator light turns off.Release the button and wait a few minutes for the Homebase to restart. This will reset the software and network settings, often fixing connectivity problems.

Check your Wi-Fi connection

A faulty Wi-Fi connection is a common reason for losing access to your home base. Ensure your home’s Wi-Fi router is working properly, and try rebooting that device as well. The Homebase should automatically reconnect to your Wi-Fi network once it’s back up and running.If that doesn’t work, you may need to manually re-enter your Wi-Fi password on the Homebase to reconnect it. Refer to your Homebase quick start guide for instructions on how to pair it to your Wi-Fi network.
