Resetting of CREE bulb –
To Reset a Cree Connected bulb to factory settings:
In our testing, we’ve found two methods to work reasonably well for resetting a Cree Connected Bulb.
First Method
26. Turn ON the bulb
27. Wait 2 seconds
28. Turn OFF the bulb
29. Wait 2 seconds
30. Repeat steps 1-4 until the light blinks once to indicate it has been reset. This should happen after the third full ON-OFF cycle. In other words, it should blink the fourth time you turn ON the bulb. Also keep an eye on the App: If it indicates it detected the bulb, you’ll be good to go regardless of blinks.
Second Method
31. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second and then turn it OFF
32. Wait 2 seconds
33. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second and then turn it OFF
34. Wait 2 seconds
35. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second, and then turn it OFF
36. Wait 2 seconds
37. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second, and then turn it OFF
38. Wait 2 seconds
39. Turn ON the bulb again. It should blink to indicate it has been reset and then turn the bulb off immediately.
