Cannot pair Sengled bulb. Pairing process times out

Hello - I have several Sengled bulbs on my network that are working fine. I am trying to add a new bulb but the process always fails. I have tried the bulb "reset" several times, but no love. I am hesitant to start changing the Hubitat radio settings without fully understanding it. Any suggestions appreciated!

You linked to a WiFi bulb on Amazon... if that's the correct link, you have the wrong type of bulb. I'm assuming your other Sengled bulbs are Zigbee.

These are a labour of paring love, I have many. :wink:
Have you tried the alternative?
Hmmm, yes ZigBee is my reply.

Hi Alan - so you are saying that the bulbs in the link (yes these are the ones I have) will not work with Hubitat?

Correct - they appear to be just plain wifi, so there's no way to bring them into Hubitat directly.

If they were Matter or Zigbee, then you'd have options.

ETA -the other long shot would've been if they have Tuya guts, but the Amazon information makes it sound like they don't, so then Hubitat's Tuya Integration is out as an option too.

You need this version to work with the Hubitat or another Zigbee hub: Amazon.com: Sengled Zigbee Smart Light Bulbs, Smart Hub Required, Works with SmartThings and Echo with Built-in Hub, Voice Control with Alexa and Google Home, Color Changing 60W Eqv. A19 Alexa Light Bulb, 2 Pack

Or indirectly as Sengled's cloud integration is now defunk.

Thanks all for the help. Agreed that now that Sengled has unraveled, my best course of action would be to simply replace these bulbs with ones that are Zigbee enabled.
