DAYBETTER smart bulbs are designed for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal operation:

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Bulb Not Flashing During Setup

If the bulb does not flash rapidly when first turned on, indicating pairing mode, try the following:

• Turn the light switch off and on three times rapidly (on-off-on-off-on). The bulb should then start flashing.

8.2 Unable to Connect to Wi-Fi

• 2.4GHz Wi-Fi: Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. These bulbs do not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
• Network Password: Double-check that you are entering the correct Wi-Fi password.
• Router Proximity: Move the bulb closer to your Wi-Fi router during the initial setup process.
• Router Settings: Some routers may have settings that interfere with smart device connections. Consult your router's manual or ISP if issues persist.

8.3 Bulb Loses Connectivity

If the bulb loses connection, especially after a power outage or if the physical light switch is turned off for an extended period:

• Try power cycling the bulb (turn off and on at the switch).
• If the issue persists, you may need to re-pair the bulb with the Tuya Smart app. Follow the steps in Section 5.2.
• It is recommended to control the bulbs primarily through the app or voice assistant to maintain connectivity, rather than frequently using the physical switch.

8.4 Voice Control Not Responding

• Ensure your Tuya Smart account is correctly linked to your Alexa or Google Home account.
• Try re-discovering devices in your Alexa or Google Home app.
• Check your internet connection.
• Ensure the bulb is online in the Tuya Smart app.
