8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Common Issues and Solutions

Q: Why can't the Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb be controlled even after connecting to the Alexa app?

A: If you do not have an Echo speaker and are only using the Alexa app, the Mesh bulb cannot be connected. It is suggested to use an Echo speaker for voice detection of devices and connection. This will allow successful use of the bulb through the Echo speaker or the Alexa app.

Q: Can Aigostar Bluetooth Mesh smart bulbs be used remotely?

A: There are two ways:

1. Connect the bulb to an Echo speaker for remote control via the Alexa app.
2. Use an Aigostar gateway (if not available, it is necessary to purchase separately) and link the gateway and the Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb to the AigoSmart app for remote control.
   Note: Without an Echo speaker or Aigostar gateway, the Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb can be used within a range of 20 meters.

Q: What are the differences between controlling smart bulbs with Alexa Echo or the AigoSmart app?

A:

• Alexa Echo: No prior registration is required if you already have the app or register as a user of the app; Alexa can "find" and connect directly to these smart bulbs. A maximum of three connections at a time; after a successful connection, proceed with the next set of connections.
• AIGOSMART: Requires registration as an app user, can connect up to 200 bulbs. After connecting to the Aigostar gateway, these 200 bulbs can also be connected to Alexa.

Q: What are the advantages of Bluetooth Mesh technology?

A: The Bluetooth Mesh protocol is an excellent solution for controlling multiple lamps (supports up to 200 mesh devices) without affecting your Wi-Fi network speed. It provides more stable connectivity and faster connection speed, overcoming the limitations of short-range infrared remote controls, control of fewer lights, Wi-Fi light disconnections, and susceptibility to network speed.

Q: When connecting the Aigostar Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb for the first time, is it necessary to update the Amazon Alexa device to its latest version?

A: Yes, you can say, "Alexa, is my software updated?" If it is not the latest version, Alexa will update automatically. After the update, you can say, "Alexa, discover device."

Q: Is the Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb compatible with the Smart Life app?

A: No, it is not compatible. Aigostar Bluetooth Mesh smart bulbs are ONLY compatible with the AIGOSMART app and cannot be used with other applications.

Q: What are the differences between the Aigostar Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb and previous versions of smart bulbs?

A: The Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb is Aigostar's third-generation product, with the main differences being that remote control is not required:

1. Connection Method: The Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb can connect directly to Alexa Echo. In contrast, previous versions of smart bulbs required connection to the AIGOSMART app before authorizing Alexa through a 'Skill'.
2. Network Method: To connect the Bluetooth Mesh smart bulb, simply open the Bluetooth settings on your phone and use 5GHz WiFi or mobile data. In contrast, previous versions of smart bulbs only supported 2.4GHz WiFi connection.
