Has there been a fix to this? I bought the 2 pack. 1 bulb worked fine. The second bulb had an interruption before it could finish updating. I have tried doing a factory reset using the exact same lamp that worked on the first one but it won’t blink or become locatable on the app.

I removed and deleted the app and the 2nd bulb is still not turning on. The 1st bulb is working fine.

Thanks for keeping us posted, @msjackson2883 

Have you tried restarting your Roku Bulb to see if it's turning on? If not, we recommend it to see if it turns on. To do this, remove your smart bulb from the socket for roughly 10 seconds and then plug it back in. Additionally, we recommend making sure that the Roku bulb is receiving enough power from your power source.

Let us know what you find out.

All the best,
Kash

I have unplugged it for multiple hours and tried again and had the same result. The bulb doesn’t turn on. Again, the other bulb works fine using the exact same lamp/socket/electrical outlet.
