Smart bulb won't pair and keeps blinking
A blinking bulb is trying to pair but can't reach your network clearly. Reset the bulb and try pairing again from right next to your router. Make sure your phone is on the same WiFi network as the bulb.
Smart bulbs blink when they're in pairing mode waiting for a signal from your app. If the bulb keeps blinking without connecting, it's not hearing from your phone clearly enough. This happens when the WiFi signal is weak, you're too far away, or the bulb reset didn't work right. Getting closer and trying again fixes it.
- ✓Have your smart bulb powered on before starting
- ✓Make sure your WiFi network is accessible from where your bulb is installed
- ✓Keep your smart bulb available for testing throughout troubleshooting

- Giving up after 10 seconds. The app can take up to a minute to find the bulb
- Using a guest WiFi network. The bulb needs your main home network with the password
