- Register/Log In: Open the app and register for an account or log in if you already have one.
- Add Device: Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device. This typically involves scanning a QR code on the bulb or packaging, or initiating a device search within the app.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is off and cool before cleaning. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Storage: If storing bulbs, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the bulb. This will void the warranty.
8. Troubleshooting
8.1. Bulb Not Responding/Connecting
- Check Power: Ensure the light fixture switch is in the ON position and the bulb is receiving power.
- Hub Connection: Verify that your Zigbee hub is powered on and connected to your network.
- Proximity: Ensure the bulb is within range of your Zigbee hub or another Zigbee device acting as a repeater.
- Re-pairing: If the bulb loses connection, try removing it from your app and re-pairing it according to the setup instructions. Power cycling the bulb (turning it off and on 5 times) can sometimes reset it for re-pairing.
- App Update: Ensure your Sengled Home App or smart home platform app is updated to the latest version.
8.2. Voice Control Issues
- Assistant Link: Confirm that your Sengled account (or smart hub) is correctly linked to your voice assistant (Alexa, Google Home).
- Device Discovery: Ask your voice assistant to "Discover devices" to ensure all bulbs are recognized.
- Command Clarity: Speak commands clearly and ensure the device name used in the command matches the name in your app.
8.3. Unstable Connection
- Zigbee Network: A strong Zigbee mesh network is crucial. Adding more Zigbee devices (like smart plugs or other bulbs) can strengthen the network.
- Interference: Keep your Zigbee hub away from Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, or other devices that might cause wireless interference.
