Wyze Color Bulbs Connection Issues

For the last couple of days, my Wyze Color Bulbs (10 total) have quit working with the Wyze App. I have done EVERYTHING possible, and can’t get a resolution.

  1. I reset the bulbs, re-added them to the app and they work for a bit, then fall off again. Cameras (6) work fine.

  2. I’ve deleted the app, removed all devices from Alexa and re-added them again and all went well, until it didn’t.

  3. I have Fiber w/Asus XT9 mesh routers, which I have had for over a year and used with no issues. I even did a factory reset, changed my wifi credentials and started over, I have bound them to 2.4ghz connection within the Asus app, and they all show great signal strength and that they are connected, even though Wyze shows they’re not.

I am not having any issues with any other devices, and find it really odd that after working great for years, now all of the sudden my bulbs all stopped. I am about to lose my mind as I have ran out of things to try.

I also have issues with my color bulbs. I just bought them around Thanksgiving and the firmware update fails on every single one of them, rendering them useless.

Same, my bulb just stopped working as well, I’m resetting them but they are not connecting anymore. It is just flashing green

Isn’t that the signal that they are ready for pairing with your account? Have you tried re-adding them?

You are correct that is the sign that the lights are ready to pair. But I don’t see the selection on my phone when it is ready to pair for both of my lights. I have enable the Bluetooth function, Wi-Fi function, on my phone and it worked in the past as well. My intuition is that there was a terrible software update happened during Thanksgiving. And that somehow disconnected all of the lightbulb in my house. And now I have to reconnect them, but they cannot anymore after the update. Let me know what do you think?

Do you have a different phone you could use as a test? You need to add them back using the add device function.

If your bulb is flashing green, you need to hit the + to add it as a new color bulb.

I have learned that if I just turn my light back on that they come back on line without the need to reset; however, they sporadically respond to commands within the app and they go offline once turned off (via the app, not via a switch)

Don’t forget to give the Wyze app Location and Local Network permissions when resetting your bulbs from an iPhone/iPad.

I do have a different phone. I can try later. I have added a location setting as well on my iPhone. And press the add new device button for color bulb which are the one that I have. Maybe a different phone would work

I am using an android, S23 to be specific, and it still doesn’t work. They broke these bulbs with the last update it seems. Now i guess we just have to wait for them to push out the next update.

I didn’t realize there are different versions, so it may depend on which ones you have:

My bulbs that i just bought a couple weeks ago are on factory firmware 1.0.2.6 trying to “update” to 1.0.2.51. The firmware update fails then drops the bulbs offline. i am also able to add them successfully, then i get to the firmware problem.

So that would indicate the newer bulbs are the problem. I have older ones and they work without any issues.

Not nessarily, unless I missed your reasoning.

I have new bulbs with zero issues. :thinking:

S24

Reasoning is the firmware update everyone is hinting as the problem. Older bulbs haven’t updated since May.

It’s odd my old bulbs were returned for these because they did not work.

Your firmware doesn’t correspond to the color bulbs. That’s a white bulb firmware version.

From mine:

You are correct. I confused them with my color Kasa bulbs.

Maybe you posted the wrong bulb?

Yahhh, it seems that way. I have the Color Bulb V2 according to the app
