Maintenance

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Beantech Smart Bulb, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not turn on. | No power to the fixture, bulb not screwed in properly, bulb is faulty. | Check the light switch and circuit breaker. Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket. Test the bulb in another working fixture. |
| Bulb does not connect to the app or Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (not 2.4GHz), incorrect pairing mode, weak Wi-Fi signal, incorrect Wi-Fi password. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal and your phone is connected to it during pairing. Try resetting the bulb by turning it off and on 3-5 times until it blinks rapidly (if it doesn't blink rapidly, repeat the power cycle). Move the bulb closer to the router. Double-check your Wi-Fi password. |
| Voice control is not working. | Incorrect voice command, skill/service not enabled, account not linked, device not discovered. | Ensure you are using the correct commands. Verify that the smart home app skill/service is enabled and linked in your Alexa or Google Home app. Perform a device discovery in your voice assistant app. |
| Bulb loses connection frequently. | Weak Wi-Fi signal, network interference, power fluctuations. | Ensure the bulb is within good range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router. Minimize interference from other 2.4GHz devices. If power blinks frequently, the bulb may need to be reconnected to the network. Consider a Wi-Fi extender if the signal is consistently weak. |
| Colors or dimming not responding. | App glitch, temporary connection issue. | Close and reopen the app. Turn the bulb off and on from the physical switch. Check your Wi-Fi connection. |
