If your smart bulb isn't connecting properly or stops responding, use this guide to identify and solve the issue.

Common Symptoms

  • Bulb doesn’t appear in the app during setup
  • Device appears “offline” in the ZenHome app
  • Voice assistant says the bulb is “not responding”
  • Unable to change color or brightness

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

1. Check the Bulb’s Power

  • Ensure the fixture switch is turned on.
  • Try another outlet to rule out a faulty socket.
  • Look for a blinking light (pairing mode). If not blinking, reset the bulb.

2. Reset the Bulb

  • Turn the bulb off and on 5 times quickly.
  • It should blink rapidly to indicate it's ready for pairing.

3. Check Your Network

  • Make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
  • Disable mobile data during setup.
  • Ensure your router allows new device connections.

4. Restart Your Devices

  • Restart your phone and try again.
  • Reboot your Wi-Fi router to clear temporary network issues.

5. Re-add the Bulb in the App

  • Open the ZenHome app.
  • Tap Devices > Smart Bulb > Settings > Remove Device.
  • Add the bulb again using the setup process.

Additional Tips

  • Don’t place the bulb too far from your router during setup.
  • Avoid special characters in your Wi-Fi password (if possible).
  • If using a mesh Wi-Fi system, temporarily disable 5GHz to force 2.4GHz pairing.
