There are a couple of instances where the notification, “Something went wrong during setup” may occur.
Instance 1 - Switch is having difficulty joining the Wi-Fi network:
Reboot your Switch by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
If the LED changes to a solid blue, it means the Switch joined the Wi-Fi network and you can attempt the setup again. If the LED returns to a flashing blue, we can attempt to join the Switch to the network differently.
- Open your iOS settings app and tap “Wi-Fi”
- Toward the bottom, you will see “Set Up New Device…” with the Switch listed below
- Tap on the Switch and attempt to join it to your Wi-Fi Network
If it joins, attempt setup again in the iDevices app.
If it does not join after you have walked through this process above and receive the error, “An Unexpected Error Occurred. Try Again,” ensure your iOS device is connected to a 2.4 GHz network band using WPA or WPA2-PSK (AES) security.

Instance 2 - iCloud is Synchronizing:
If the app is not prompting you to scan or enter the HomeKit code, there may be an issue with the Apple HomeKit platform.
- Open your iOS settings
- Tap iDevices
- Verify “Home Data” is ON
- Then, open the Apple Home app on your iOS device
- Apple's Home app may prompt you to enable specific settings within iCloud
- If you see “Loading Accessories and Scenes,” that indicates an iCloud sync is currently in progress which prevents the setup from moving forward. For more information on resolving this issue: Click Here
