Smart bulb color won't change color

So I've had 2 smart color bulbs for a while and now they won't change color. They worked just fine before but now they're stuck on green. I've tried factory resetting by turning off the lamps 3 times and all that stuff. It'll connect to my wifi and everything, but when I go to change the color or brightness it just won't. It's stuck on green and I hate it. The lights themselves are green, but in the app they're grey and set to 1% brightness.

Re: Smart bulb color won't change color

I have factory reset it by turning off the bulb and back on x3 and making sure it did not need a firmware update but my bulb is about 3 years old but they should be able to last longer than at least 4 years in my opinion.

Re: Smart bulb color won't change color

I have gone through setup multiple times. Setup is quick and easy, my phone connects to the bulb. I made sure both phone and bulb were connected to the same 2.4 WiFi. After the initial setup, though, the bulb quits responding and just stays green. I did try signing out and back in.
