BR30 Color Bulbs won't pair with Android device

When I’ve had issues like this (and they can be frustrating; my most recent experience was trying to add an original Wyze Plug back into the Wyze app), I’ve sometimes had to resort to using an older phone (one of the things I tried in my Plug situation), but I think the key thing was making the 5 GHz radio from my dual-band gateway completely unavailable so that the phone was forced to use 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which is the only frequency the Plug (and Bulbs) can use.

I don’t use iOS and haven’t identified anything specific with newer versions of Android that might cause problems. (The device I used to get my Plug back online was running Android 13.) It stinks to have to fall back to using a non-preferred device for the installation, but at least once it’s set up in the app the device should be available for you to control with your Android 14 phone.

I don’t have any other suggestion aside from forcing the phone’s Wi-Fi connection, and I’m interested in what other community members might have to offer.
