Re: Roku Smart Home light bulb wont go into pairing mode

Jump to solution

Still having the same issue. Mother-in-law turned off the lights at the switch, and now only 1 of the 4 bulbs reconnected. I definitely am not going to buy new bulbs every time she flips the switch or we lose power. And hiding by this forum thread, this is a major flaw in the design of the bulb, along with being false advertising as the bulbs do not work as promised. How this hasn't landed in a judges lap yet is beyond me, but I do know this much: I'm taking these bulbs out and tossing them in the dump where they belong.

Dear Roku, you never do send that private message. So many people having the same issues, so many promises, and so little support.

The light bulb is a failed product and Roku should cut their losses and stop selling it.

Has anyone actually received a return or a refund? Someone from Roku reached out to me to ask some information about my purchase but hasn't responded to any messaged in 5 days.

Re: Roku Smart Home light bulb wont go into pairing mode

At this point,  I bought 4 white bulbs about 13 months ago.  After about 5 months,  they stopped responding to the app and would no longer enter pairing mode.  I went through all of the troubleshooting steps. Turned on and off 3 times,  tried the same in another fixture, even tried on another network. Deleted and reinstalled the app, rebooted my phone, rebooted my router. Nothing worked. 

I reached out to Roku, platitudes and promises but nothing actionable. Basically your company has blown me off for long enough that the warranty expired.  I can only join the legions of dissatisfied customers posting warnings not to buy the product. 

The Power plug is fine but the light bulbs are a dismal failure.
