Problem Description
Your Innr Smart Bulb Color A19 is not pairing with your Philips Hue Bridge, SmartThings hub, or other Zigbee coordinator.
Common Causes
- Bulb not in pairing mode
- Hub has reached device limit
- Bulb previously paired to another hub
- Zigbee channel interference
- Bulb too far from hub
Solutions
1. Reset Bulb to Pairing Mode
- Turn bulb off for 2 seconds
- Turn on for 2 seconds
- Repeat on/off 6 times total
- Bulb will flash to indicate pairing mode
2. Pair with Philips Hue
- Open Hue app and go to Settings
- Select Light setup then Add light
- Choose Search while bulb is in pairing mode
- Bulb should appear as Dimmable light or Color light
3. Pair with SmartThings
- Open SmartThings app
- Tap + then Add device
- Select Scan nearby or By brand
- Put bulb in pairing mode
- Wait for discovery
4. Move Bulb Closer
- For initial pairing, install bulb near the hub
- Within 10 feet works best
- After paired, move to final location
- Innr bulbs act as Zigbee repeaters
5. Check Hub Device Limit
- Hue Bridge supports up to 50 lights
- SmartThings supports 200+ Zigbee devices
- Remove unused devices if at limit
6. Try Touchlink Reset
If bulb was paired elsewhere:
- Use Hue app Touchlink feature
- Or use Zigbee2MQTT Touchlink if using HA
- This forces bulb to reset and pair
Compatible Hubs
