I just bought 4 BR30s, installed them and updated the firmware. However, they mostly only display a green color. Selecting white will make them green, selecting red or purple will make them a VERY dim red or purple, even at 100%. Any other color I select will make them green. Even 100% green is not…

That is really odd behavior. I have three BR30 bulbs that have the full range of color and brightness. What app version and firmware is running? Are they grouped?

I’m glad you got it fixed! And also thank you for sharing why it wasn’t working and what fixed it. I will keep that in the data banks if it comes up again!

I’m hoping to add to this discussion as I’m having a similar problem. In my kitchen I have three recessed sockets that house BR30 bulbs. It also has a dimmer switch. If I add in three Wyze BR-30 Color bulbs they all turn green like you describe. If I remove one of the Wyze bulbs and replace it with …

Dimmer switches are designed to regulate the amount of power going to an incandescent bulb. Very rarely, even when set to max, are they providing the full current available. LED bulbs have to be marked “dimable” to be used in a switch dimmed fixture or circuit. They have a special chip in them that…

I am currently running the Beta Firmware 1.0.1.38 that is being tested in this thread.

It does appear you have the most up to date iOS app.

Ungrouped the bulbs and test to see if it still exhibits the same behavior.
