FAQs
Why is my Wyze bulb not working?
If your Wyze bulb is not working, try moving the bulb to a different socket. It is recommended you put the light bulb in a socket that is closer to the router.
Also, make sure your WiFi network frequency is set to 2.4 GHz and not 5 GHz.
Do not put your Wyze bulb in a socket that has a dimmer switch. This can make your bulb flicker or blink randomly, and not recommended.
Can I use Wyze Bulb without WiFi?
Yes, you can use the Wyze Bulb without WiFi. The bulb will function as a regular light and can be turned off or on with the light switch, but automation, and control through the Wyze app won’t work.
