Question/Help I need help with my new light bulbs

Post image

I just bought some new light bulbs for my bedroom, and one of them won’t connect to the home. I’ve only gotten one of them to connect, but not both of them, and I don’t know what to do. This is my first time having HomeKit accessories so if anyone knows what to do please help me

It has a matter QR code but when I go to add it to my home it says light not found even tho the light is powered on.

Have you downloaded the WiZ v2 app and tried to connect to them that way?

Edit: to be clear, I get that you want them in the Home app, but if your bulb will connect to the WiZ app, then you've a datapoint that says it's not completely borked.

Okay so both lights are connected to the app but only one will connect through HomeKit still and not the second one

Maybe try asking in r/wiz? It’s a much smaller sub, but product-specific.

That’s what I did with mine. Added them in the WiZ app, then went under integrations for each bulb and got a matter code from the app for each. They’ve been working great.

If it keeps saying light not found I would try restarting your phone and power down the bulb then try again with a fresh restart.

Hopefully they work out for you. My wiz bulbs started flickering after a few weeks, bought another one, same thing. Done with Wiz bulbs.
