Hi. I swapped from BT to EE for braodband and landline last week, this was motivated entirely by the ability to turn my children's wifi on and off. I also have two ee mobile contracts for myself and one daughter.
The smart hub came, (New black hub with EE logo on the front) when I scanned the QR code for set up it took my straight to my ee utilities app, no broadband account registered. So I followed the paper set up instructions. I had been dreading the switch over as have had constant problems with BT wifi and my Sky mini Q box, but no, both my Sky boxes and 3 smart tv's did not need wifi re-installed, bizarre but fine. The wifi works brilliantly and everyone is happy. However, trawling through ee to find out how to access wifi controls I see the QR code should have taken me to the EE Home app.
After downloading the app it could not link to the hub, I followed all the help steps, no joy. After trawling this community I reinstalled the app. Still no joy and yes the hub has been re-started several times, wiped off devices, reinstalled. So I called EE. After several attempts my account was found, my iphone 14 is up to date, no vpn installed, the app does not work on any of our apple devices, so they concluded it must be because they are apple devices and not android. I pointed out this couldn't be possible or they would have had thousands of calls by now. I am now waiting for a call back but have 8 days left of my cooling off period before I am stuck with this for 24 months.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Hi, I have the Black Smart Hub SH31B. Which app for Iphone15 works with this Smart Hub.
thanks for responding as I’m getting rather fed up with trying to sort this after 6 months backwards and forwards with EE Complaints. Look forward to hearing back from you. 👍👌

I have same issue. App will not pair with SH+
this has been chased and escalated by EE since June 2024 - nearly 4 months!!! I get weekly call from a guy at BT/EE who assures me it is with the "correct team" but from the end user perspective I say that nothing is being done.
The issue is something to do with the EE identity on the account. EE mobile and EE broadband have different id's and that is where the problem is.
I am demanding a return to BT but getting nowhere!!

@JonProudfoot And you are trying to use the EEapp for android or ios, with your version of EE router, and you transferred from BT - EE also?

@JonProudfoot Your probably caught in that everything must match account wise from the BT to EE transfer then!
