bulb sleep schedule not working

I set up a sleep routine on my bulb for both morning and evening as per the article here: https://support.roku.com/article/7875705451415 . For a while, it worked exactly as expected, turning on and gradually brightening over time in the mornings and slowly dimming until it turned off in the evenings

But now neither work. I have to manually turn on and off and adjust brightness. I've tried factory resetting it and it still doesn't work.

Re: bulb sleep schedule not working

I have been having this same issue for 2-3 weeks and also updated the app, deleted and re-started the schedules. Now I see a small cloud with a line through it instead of the on/off icon.

This schedule truly helped me wake up and I really need to know how to fix it!! Help.

Re: bulb sleep schedule not working

I’m having the same issue. Sleep schedule is set for both of my bulbs. It worked perfectly for several month. One day the schedules stopped working. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting WiFi, checked for updates, turned off sleep schedule and back on, changed sleep schedule, but it still doesn’t work.

Re: bulb sleep schedule not working

Welcome and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @Carrietherage!

It is highly appreciated that you've brought this to our attention and we'd be more than happy to find you the best resolution about utilizing the sleep schedule on your Roku Smart Bulbs again.

In this case, we suggest following the steps below to help you troubleshoot your bulbs in the Roku Smart Home app:

  • Reset the bulb: remove the bulb inside the app.
  • Reset the app: sign out and refresh the app for about 60 seconds and then re-sign in.
  • Reconnect to the app: re-add the bulb to the app and then set your preferred sleep schedule again.

Let us know how it goes and we'll continue assisting you from there. Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Carly

Re: bulb sleep schedule not working

I'm not sure what they changed on the backend, but at least my wake up schedule started working again this morning! Will wait and see if the bedtime one works tonight....
