Sengled smart lights and devices can be controlled with or without a hub, making it even easier to get started with smart lighting.
It can be frustrating when your smart lighting devices fail. Smart lights are supposed to obey your every command using their connected apps, but when they don't you're left quite literally in the dark.
It may seem like the only way to fix the devices is a full factory reset, but you very rarely need to go that far.
This guide will help you get your Sengled devices responding properly and working for you again quickly. We'll start by restarting the devices as this usually resolves the problems you could be having. Then, if that didn't work we'll begin the resets.
In most cases, restarting the smart light or plug is enough to bring it back online and working properly again.
Do Not Skip This Step!
It is critically important you don't dismiss or skip over this first step, even if it seems too simple to fix the problem.
In many cases, doing a full restart of your home network and devices can help resolve many problems you may have with your home automation devices.
Our next step is to factory reset the Sengled device that's having problems to factory defaults, then re-setup the device.
You will need to go through and re-setup the device as if you first purchased it after this process.
You will need to re-setup your Sengled device, just like when you first purchased it, once it is factory reset.Each type of Sengled device is slightly different. Expand your device below for detailed instructions on how to reset it.

If you are still having problems or are unable to factory reset your Sengled bulb or device, it means there is something else wrong with the bulb or device itself. You will need to contact Sengled, or the place you purchased your Sengled product from, for further assistance in either repairing, or replacing it.
