@vinileonid Sounds like the bulb isn't entering proper pairing mode—after a reset, it should blink rapidly. Try a full factory reset by toggling it on and off 3-5 times until it starts flashing quickly. If that doesn't shake it into pairing mode, check if the app or firmware needs an update.

hi TP team

unfortunatelly nothing works on me 

not soft/hard reset of the light, 

installing /uninstalling app, 

shut down cel data, 

distance is close up  to 20cm, and still not works, the only possible
clue is perhaps  that on the main screen of the app under Myhome there is a red message under wifi signal saying

"Network Unstable". so probably is something wrong with your device WiFi? Tapo_Bulb_XXXX???

Tapo L630 Light

Phone Samsung S22

Android 14

UI 6.1

NO VPN in my phone

cel data is closed

i have already spend 1 day trying to make a simple connection between your device and your app and is frustrating and disapointing not to be able to perform the simplest of tasks as to pair one smart device with the manufactorer sw app

please advise possible solutions

Thnx

• Hard reset on L630(open/Close power 5 times)

Dear Wayne & TP Link team

i had replaced the L630 under warranty rights today from my supplier.

The new one needed about 20 sec to establish the pair with the application!

The new one is working perefectly!

no need to restart-reinstall or do anything in the app or on the Bulb.

seems that the temp WiFi on old Tapo Bulb L630 was not working properly (as I was suspected) 

if helps, please keep note for future threads

thank you for your support and efforts

Regards

Vasilis
