I purchased two Sengled Element Color Plus bulbs and they both will not respond after i pair them with HE. also tried different drivers and nothing works, any help would be appreciated. i have attached the log.

I am using the hubitat "Advanced Zigbee RGBW Bulb" with mine and it works great. Make sure you click [Configure] in the device after changing the driver.

I use the same driver, works very well.

It's very important to do as noted above - change the driver, save the change, then click the Configure button at the top of the bulb device page. The bulb will then go through several color changes and then you should be set.

See if that resolves your issues.

Sorry to jump in here on a bit of an old thread, but I have exactly this problem, and switching to the "Advanced Zigbee RGBW Bulb" driver didn't change the situation at all.

I have 2 of these and they exhibit the exact same behavior. They pair fine, but then when saving the device, they blink a couple of times and then no longer respond leaving the light on.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here? The bulb is 10 feet from the hub, so can't be a range issue.

Did you try resetting them via turning off/on 10 times (ending in the on position). Bulb should flash 5 times or so. Then try pairing again, you can leave the devices in HE - they should be rediscovered in place.. :crossed_fingers:

Thanks for your quick reply @erktrek

Yes, I did. I tried a few ways to reinstall. Both by removing and by not. Both times after successfully resetting the bulb. Still no luck. Just freezes after pairing.

Sorry, I have double posted on this after seeing a slightly better thread here: Sengled E21-N1EA RGB zigbee bulb - #26 by paul11

Yeah was doing that too! :smile:

@bobbyD or @support - Is it possible this issue needs to be directed elsewhere? Sorry to call up an old thread but there are two important statements that may have been lost back in 2021, but now I've found it! this Sengled driver is still having issues!

@mike.maxwell - In case you missed it, this post was tagged to you back in '21. :sunglasses:

Here's the story: I finally got around to re-engineering my ZigBee network on paper a few weeks ago

`I moved two of my Innr ZigBee plugs to locations to combat signal obfuscation between (my C7 HE, positioned towards the front of house on the first floor.

The [Sengled Element Color Plus] driver is automatically selected for initial pairing' and

  • all seems right in the ZigBee world, until...
  • I get the name and room locations set - during this time the bulb unexpectedly started cycling through a few primary colors in a somewhat "flashing" sort of fashion.

I made multiple subsequent attempts to reset the bulb (on/off 10-15 times ending in the "on" state - did the same pairing process that worked with my ZigBee plugs (earlier)

  • While naming the bulb and selecting the room it's in, the bulb cycles through two sets of flashes.
    • First is goes into a brief flashing state, then it stops flashing altogether.

      the CT flashing should've been confirmation that the bulb had paired, and also the following device page including the "events" with correct tags listed.

      • only problem is the bulb doesn't respond to any commands at this point.
      • Substeps - Tried pressing the "Configure" button, waited a bit, still nothing*
        -Then tried "refresh," which I seems redundant because "configure" triggers a refresh in the logs, but I did it anyway. Still no response.*

The strangest thing is that when I apply the fix (see top of this reply), it still doesn't work.

**Credit due to @danabw **

THIS FIX WORKED EVERY TIME!

  1. screw in the bulb > on HE Gui > Devices > "Add ZigBee" *if you already tried once and are having the same issue, you'll need to do the bulb reset procedure.
  2. After naming and designating the room,
    a) I immediately changed the driver to "Advanced Zigbee RGBW Bulb" > Then immediately click configure
  3. After about one or two seconds. the bulb should cycle through another set of colors different from the earlier mentioned cycle and VOILA! The bulb now works as expected.
  4. The above procedure and account of events was identical for all 6 of 6 bulbs in the pack.

ADDITIONALLY

I think it's worth mentioning that i also have 2 E11 color bulbs from Sengled and had this same issue with one, but not the other. These bulbs were tested in the same room as my HE-C7 so I know the ZigBee channel isn't the problem.

Hope this helps someone else out there. These bulbs are great for the price. - I think I only paid like $85 for the set - would've been much higher with Hue.

I'm also seeing this issue. I have many Sengled N11-* RGBW bulbs, but the newest bulbs I just bought, which have a model number starting with N21-* have this problem. And, no, the immediately switching drivers trick does not work for me.

Out of four N21-* bulbs, two have this problem, two do not (the Sengled driver works just fine). After the pairing, the bulb doesn't just flash, it also goes through the Blue-Green-Red cycle. I'm wondering if that means the bulb resets at the end of pairing, which would (I think) explain why it won't respond after going through the whole process.

Could it just be a problem with the bulbs themselves -- faulty ones?

More info -- if I skip the room assignment and very quickly go through to the device details, the on/off works until... the blue/red/green cycle flashes again.

I did notice this -- on the bulbs that work, the device data shows:

sengled_good

while, for the bulbs that don't work, the device data shows:

sengled_bad

After some trial-and-error...

I tried what @erktrek suggested -- re-pair after if auto-resets, but set the driver to the 'Advanced...' first. HE finds the already registered bulb and when you go there, it goes through its configuration, which involves some blinking and such. It ends up setting the bulb to 'blue.'

Then, after a few things work, the firmware and software build info suddenly turns up in the device details, and you can now set the driver to 'Sengled Color Plus' and everything works. Easy as pie! :frowning:

Here's a post that seems to explain things:
