To set up your Status Smart bulb, you need to put it into pairing mode using a specific power cycling sequence.
Here's how:
-
Start with the bulb off: Ensure the bulb is currently switched off.
-
Power Cycling: This is the key to putting the bulb into pairing mode. Perform the following sequence:
- Turn the bulb off for approximately 10 seconds.
- Turn the bulb on for approximately 1 second.
- Turn the bulb off for approximately 1 second.
- Repeat the on/off cycle (1 second on, 1 second off) a total of 5 times.
- Finally, turn the bulb on one last time and leave it on.
-
Wait for Flashing: After a few seconds of being powered on after the cycling, the bulb should begin to flash. This indicates that it's in pairing mode and ready to connect to your smart home app.
-
Connect to the App: Open your Status Smart app (or the compatible app if it's a different brand). Follow the app's instructions to add a new device (usually a smart bulb). The app should detect the flashing bulb and guide you through the connection process, typically involving connecting the bulb to your Wi-Fi network.
-
Troubleshooting: If the bulb does not flash after power cycling, repeat the power cycling sequence more carefully. Ensure the timing is roughly accurate. Consider trying a different power outlet or fixture. Check the app's support page or the bulb's user manual for specific troubleshooting steps for your bulb model.
