Resetting of CREE bulb -
To Reset a Cree Connected bulb to factory settings: In our testing, we've found two methods to work reasonably well for resetting a Cree Connected Bulb. First Method 26. Turn ON the bulb 27. Wait 2 seconds 28. Turn OFF the bulb 29. Wait 2 seconds 30. Repeat steps 1-4 until the light blinks once to indicate it has been reset. This should happen after the third full ON-OFF cycle. In other words, it should blink the fourth time you turn ON the bulb. Also keep an eye on the App: If it indicates it detected the bulb, you'll be good to go regardless of blinks.
Second Method 31. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second and then turn it OFF 32. Wait 2 seconds 33. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second and then turn it OFF 34. Wait 2 seconds 35. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second, and then turn it OFF 36. Wait 2 seconds 37. Turn ON the bulb, wait about a second, and then turn it OFF 38. Wait 2 seconds 39. Turn ON the bulb again. It should blink to indicate it has been reset and then turn the bulb off immediately.
