The smart bulb fails to pair with your home network or app.
Symptoms
- Bulb flashing
- App timeout

Possible Causes
- 2.4GHz vs 5GHz mismatch

Step-by-Step Fix
1
Use 2.4GHz Network
Most smart bulbs only support 2.4GHz WiFi. Ensure your phone is on the same band.
2
Reset the Bulb
Turn the light switch on and off 3-5 times rapidly until it flashes.
3
Move Closer to Router
Pair the bulb in a socket closer to the router, then move it to its final location.
When to See a Technician
Many smart bulbs struggle with "mesh" networks that combine 2.4GHz and 5GHz under one name.
