One bulb failed to update and that was it for that bulb. Now it will only intermittently flicker for a nano second in the middle of the night. So I bought a replacement, it connected right away and installed. All 4 bulbs needed to be updated, start update …. All bulbs failed and now none of them are responding. The latest update? Not good

I have found that turning off power to the bulb, either by unscrewing the bulb or removing the plug, if it is a lamp, and plugging it back in seemed to help with the Firmware updates.

Wyze just released a Beta Firmware update for the color bulbs. If you enrolled to be a beta tester, you can try that.
