Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

Hi,

I don't know where to check my hardware version, please advise on that of it's necessary, I just bought the bulb.

Through the app I can get to the last screen where the bulb is pairing, but it will always fail.

I'm on a Pixel 8 pro (don't have other phones or tablets avalable) and my router is a Vodafone Power Station WiFi6, on which I already disabled 5GHz wifi.

Any idea how to fix this?

thanks

Make sure you have entered the correct WiFi password. Check if there is anything router settings that might block the connection of a new device, such as the access control (blacklist/whitelist).

Tips: Double-check the WiFi password by reconnecting WiFi on the phone. Delete/Forget the connected WiFi network, enter the password and reconnect.

For comparison testing, try to connect the smart bulb to the Guest WiFi or a Hotspot.
