If you recently bought a Levoit smart air purifier and want to control it from your phone, you will need to connect it through the VeSync app. Once connected, the app allows you to turn the purifier on and off, change fan speed, create schedules, monitor air quality on supported models, check filter life, and control the device from another room or even when you are away from home.
Many users ask questions such as “How do I connect my Levoit air purifier to my phone?”, “How does the Levoit purifier app work?”, “How do I connect my Levoit air purifier to WiFi?”, or “Why is my Levoit air purifier not connecting?”. This guide explains the full process step by step so you can set up your purifier correctly and avoid common connection problems.
The connection process is simple, but there are a few important requirements. Your phone must have the VeSync app installed, your air purifier must be a smart-compatible Levoit model, and your WiFi network must be a secure 2.4GHz WiFi network. Most Levoit smart purifiers do not connect to 5GHz-only WiFi networks.
After completing the setup, your Levoit purifier will appear inside the VeSync app. From there, you can manage the purifier using your phone without needing to press the physical buttons on the device every time.

What Is the VeSync App?
The VeSync app is the official smart home app used by many Levoit smart air purifiers. It acts as the control center for your purifier and allows your phone to communicate with the device through WiFi.
With VeSync, you do not need to stand next to the purifier to adjust settings. You can control the purifier from your sofa, bedroom, office, or while away from home, as long as the purifier is connected to WiFi and your phone has internet access.
The VeSync app is available for both Android and iPhone. It can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Main Benefits of Connecting a Levoit Air Purifier to Your Phone
Connecting your Levoit purifier to your phone gives you more control and convenience. Instead of using only the control panel on the purifier, you can manage the device through the app.
- Remote control: Turn the purifier on or off from your phone.
- Fan speed control: Change between low, medium, high, turbo, auto, or sleep mode, depending on your model.
- Air quality monitoring: View real-time air quality on compatible models.
- Filter life tracking: Check when the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.
- Scheduling: Create daily or weekly operating schedules.
- Timers: Set the purifier to turn off automatically after a selected time.
- Smart home control: Use compatible voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant on supported models.
- Family sharing: Allow family members to control the purifier with their own VeSync accounts.
Before You Start
Before beginning the setup, prepare the following items:
- Your Levoit smart air purifier
- Your smartphone or tablet
- The VeSync app installed on your phone
- A VeSync account
- A stable 2.4GHz WiFi network
- Your WiFi password
- The purifier placed near your WiFi router during setup
For the best setup experience, keep your phone, air purifier, and router close together until the connection is complete. After setup, you can move the purifier to your preferred room, as long as the WiFi signal remains strong enough.
Important WiFi Requirement
Most Levoit smart air purifiers require a 2.4GHz WiFi network. They usually do not support 5GHz WiFi for setup.
If your router has separate WiFi names, choose the one labeled 2.4G, 2.4GHz, or a similar name. If your router uses one combined WiFi name for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the purifier may still connect, but setup can sometimes fail. If connection fails, temporarily separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks in your router settings and try again.
Also make sure your WiFi network is password-protected. Public, open, hotel, office, school, or captive portal networks may not work properly because they often require extra login steps.
Download the VeSync App
For Android Phones
To install the VeSync app on an Android phone:
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Search for VeSync.
- Select the official VeSync app from the search results.
- Tap Install.
- Wait for the app to finish installing.
For iPhone
To install the VeSync app on an iPhone:
- Open the App Store.
- Search for VeSync.
- Select the official VeSync app.
- Tap Get or Install.
- Wait until the installation is complete.
After installation, open the app and allow any necessary permissions. These permissions help the app find nearby devices, access local network features, send notifications, and provide location-based air quality information.
Create or Log In to Your VeSync Account
When you open the VeSync app for the first time, you will be asked to log in or create an account.
If You Already Have a VeSync Account
Tap Log In and enter your email address and password. After logging in, you can add your Levoit air purifier to your account.
If You Do Not Have a VeSync Account
Tap Sign Up and create a new account. You may need to select your country or region, enter your email address, create a password, and verify your email.
A VeSync account is recommended because smart features, remote control, family sharing, and voice assistant services usually require an account. Guest mode may have limited features and may not work with third-party services such as Alexa or Google Home.
How to Connect Your Levoit Air Purifier to Your Phone
Once the app is installed and you are logged in, follow the steps below to connect your Levoit air purifier to your phone.
Step 1 - Plug In and Turn On the Air Purifier
Place your Levoit air purifier near your WiFi router. Plug the purifier into a power outlet and press the Power button to turn it on.
Make sure the purifier is receiving power and the display or indicator lights are active. If the device does not power on, check the outlet, power cord, and plug connection.
Step 2 - Open the VeSync App
Open the VeSync app on your phone. Make sure your phone is connected to the same 2.4GHz WiFi network that you want the air purifier to use.
If your phone is connected to mobile data only, connect it to WiFi before continuing.
Step 3 - Tap the Plus Button
On the VeSync home page, tap the + icon or Add Device. This option is usually found in the upper-right corner of the app.
The app will open a list of product categories. Since you are adding an air purifier, select the category for Air Quality Products or Air Purifiers.
Step 4 - Select Your Levoit Air Purifier Model
Choose your exact Levoit air purifier model from the list. This is important because different models may have slightly different setup steps.
For example, if you have a Levoit Core 300S, choose Core 300S. If you have a Core 400S, choose Core 400S. If you have an LV-PUR131S, select that model.
If you are not sure which model you have, check the label on the air purifier, the user manual, the product box, or the order details from where you purchased it.
Step 5 - Put the Air Purifier Into Configuration Mode
The app will ask you to confirm that the purifier is in configuration mode. Configuration mode allows the app to connect to the purifier and send WiFi information to it.
On many Levoit smart air purifiers, the WiFi indicator light should blink blue. The app may describe this as blinking once per second.
If the LED indicator is already blinking, tap Next in the app.
If the LED indicator is not blinking, press and hold the Power button or the required WiFi/reset button for about 5 seconds, depending on your model, until the WiFi indicator begins blinking. Then tap It Began Blinking or Next.
If your model has a specific WiFi button, follow the instruction shown in the app or user manual. Some models use the power button, while others may use a dedicated WiFi/reset control.
Step 6 - Enter Your WiFi Information
The app will ask you to select or enter your WiFi network. Choose your 2.4GHz WiFi network and type the password carefully.
WiFi passwords are case-sensitive. This means uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols must be entered exactly. A single wrong character can cause setup failure.
Before tapping confirm, check:
- You selected the correct WiFi name.
- The network is 2.4GHz.
- The password is correct.
- Your phone is connected to the same WiFi network.
- The air purifier is still in configuration mode.
Step 7 - Wait for the App to Connect
After entering the WiFi information, allow the app to connect the purifier. This process may take up to 90 seconds.
During this time, do not close the app, unplug the purifier, turn off your phone, or move the purifier far away from the router. Wait until the app confirms that the device has been added successfully.
If the setup succeeds, the purifier will appear on the VeSync home screen.
Step 8 - Name Your Air Purifier
After the purifier is connected, you can give it a custom name. This is helpful if you have more than one smart device or more than one Levoit purifier.
Examples of useful names include:
- Bedroom Air Purifier
- Living Room Purifier
- Office Purifier
- Baby Room Air Purifier
- Kitchen Air Purifier
You can usually change the name later by opening the device settings in the VeSync app.
How to Use Your Levoit Air Purifier in the VeSync App
After setup is complete, tap the air purifier icon in the VeSync app to open the device control page. From there, you can control and monitor the purifier.
Power Control
You can turn the purifier on or off directly from your phone. This is useful if you want to start cleaning the air before entering a room or turn the purifier off without getting out of bed.
Fan Speed
Most supported Levoit smart purifiers allow you to adjust fan speed in the app. Available fan speeds depend on the model, but may include low, medium, high, turbo, sleep, or auto mode.
Auto Mode
On supported models with air quality sensors, auto mode automatically adjusts fan speed based on detected air quality. When air quality is poor, the fan speed increases. When the air improves, the fan speed decreases.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode reduces noise and turns off or dims display lights on compatible models. This is useful for bedrooms and nighttime use.
Timer
The timer lets you set the purifier to run for a certain amount of time before turning off automatically. This is useful when you only want the purifier to run for a few hours.
Schedule
Scheduling lets you choose specific times for the purifier to turn on or off. For example, you can schedule it to turn on before bedtime, run during work hours, or turn off after you leave home.
Filter Life
The app can show the remaining filter life on compatible models. This helps you know when it is time to clean, check, or replace the filter.
Air Quality Display
Some Levoit smart purifiers show real-time air quality information. The app may display air quality levels, color indicators, or particle readings depending on your model.
Which Levoit Air Purifiers Are Compatible With the VeSync App?
Not every Levoit air purifier can connect to a phone. In general, Levoit models with SMART or S in the model name are designed to work with the VeSync app.
Examples of Levoit smart air purifiers that may support the VeSync app include:
- Levoit Core 600S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier
- Levoit Core 400S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier
- Levoit PlasmaPro 400S Smart Air Purifier
- Levoit Core 300S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier
- Levoit Core 200S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier
- Levoit LV-PUR131S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier
If your Levoit purifier does not have smart WiFi hardware, it cannot be connected to the VeSync app through a software update. Non-smart models can still purify air normally, but they must be controlled using the physical buttons on the device.
How to Check If Your Levoit Air Purifier Is Smart
To check whether your purifier is compatible with the app, look for these signs:
- The model name includes S, such as Core 300S or Core 400S.
- The product box says Smart WiFi or Works with VeSync.
- The control panel has a WiFi indicator.
- The manual includes VeSync setup instructions.
- The model appears in the VeSync app device list.
If you cannot find your purifier model in the VeSync app, it may not support app control.
Troubleshooting: Levoit Air Purifier Not Connecting to Phone
If your Levoit air purifier does not connect to your phone, try the troubleshooting steps below.
1. Make Sure You Are Using 2.4GHz WiFi
The most common issue is using a 5GHz WiFi network. Switch your phone to the 2.4GHz WiFi network and try again.
2. Check the WiFi Password
Re-enter your WiFi password carefully. Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the password.
3. Move the Purifier Closer to the Router
A weak WiFi signal can prevent setup. Place the purifier near the router during setup, then move it later after the connection is complete.
4. Reset Configuration Mode
If the WiFi light is not blinking, hold the required button for about 5 seconds until the indicator starts blinking. Then restart the setup process in the app.
5. Restart Your Phone
Sometimes the app or phone network settings may not refresh correctly. Restart your phone and open VeSync again.
6. Restart the Air Purifier
Unplug the purifier, wait about 10 seconds, plug it back in, and try again.
7. Check App Permissions
Make sure VeSync has the permissions it needs. On iPhone, allow local network access. On Android, allow nearby device, WiFi, and location permissions if requested.
8. Disable VPN Temporarily
A VPN can sometimes interfere with device setup. Turn off VPN temporarily while adding the purifier.
9. Update the VeSync App
Open the App Store or Google Play Store and check whether an update is available for VeSync.
10. Try Again From the Beginning
If setup still fails, remove the failed device from the app, reset the purifier’s WiFi mode, and repeat the setup process carefully.
Why the VeSync App May Look Different
The VeSync app may change over time because of updates and improvements. Button names, icons, screens, and device categories may look slightly different from older instructions.
If the app interface looks different, follow the same general path:
- Open VeSync.

To use sharing features, the other person may need their own VeSync account. You can usually manage sharing from the device settings or home management section in the app.
Can I Use Alexa or Google Assistant With My Levoit Air Purifier?
Many Levoit smart air purifiers support voice assistant integration through VeSync. If your model supports it, you can connect VeSync to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
After linking your VeSync account, you may be able to use voice commands to turn the purifier on or off, change fan speed, or control other supported features.
Voice assistant support depends on your purifier model, region, app version, and connected smart home service.
