Smart Bulbs will not go into pairing mode

Jump to solution

Why is it that there are many users, myself 1 of them,who are having this issue, and no one from Roku has publicly acknowledged a fix? Every response has been "check your email." Sorry, but I'm doubting these issues are even being fixed through email.

 

I bought a 4 pack of bulbs, and after 3 months of use, 3 of them do not want to go into pairing mode. I've not changed any wifi settings, they just stopped working with the service.

I was considering subscribing to roku home service, but now I'm in doubt. Is there a fix for this or not? I've tried the 5 seconds, I've tried turning ing the bulbs off and then on. They will not enter pairing mode or be recognized sized by the roku home app.

Greetings from the Roku Community, @SergeatDetritus!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We suggest troubleshooting steps to help you pair your Roku Smart Home bulbs to the Smart Home app again.

In this case, kindly try to press the On and Off buttons three (3) times to reset it. If the issue persists, we suggest plugging your Roku Smart Home bulbs into a different power source to see if this will make any difference. 

Let us know how it goes so we can continue assisting you from there. 

Best regards,
Carly

After reading these instructions in other posts, I've already tried these steps through my own troubleshooting. What other options do we have?

They won’t acknowledge these bulbs don’t work. Mine stopped going into pairing mode a while back. Non of the solutions work. They just give you the run around. Just throw them away at this point.

Wow, super frustrating. I have this problem with one of my Roku color bulbs and seeing how Roku doesn't seem to be taking responsibility for it, it scares me away from buying any more Roku smart home products.
