Re: Roku Smart Home error "failed to get data"

I have the same issue.  You are not alone!  I'm a bit more exasperated, as I want the developer who pushed out the update flogged!

Re: Roku Smart Home error "failed to get data"

Jump to solution

When I say I was so happy with the lights and app when I first bought it in September I was about to switch my entire house to it, I'm not kidding. Now these lights are about to find out what the bottom of my garbage can looks like. This problem is so ridiculous and they obviously don't care about customer satisfaction. I have reached out upwards of 6 times about this issue within the last few weeks and if I don't see it being fixed soon I really am gonna trash these and never look back.

Hey everyone,

If you're seeing the "Failed to get data, please try again." error on your Roku Smart Bulb Color SE.

Status Update 4/8: The issue should be fixed with the latest app version (3.2.4).

Please update the app and check if you’ve received the new firmware for the Roku Smart Home app. Let us know if it works! If you haven’t seen the update yet, just try again in a bit.

Thanks for your patience and support!
