What’s the trick in getting the sylvania RGB bulbs to show up? After a reset, when I pair it in ST (they blink 3 times during pairing) I don’t see them in the app. I’ve waited an hour so far.

Try resetting them. 5 times on/off with counting to five before turning them on, count to 5, then turn off, repeat 5 times. Then when you power on the last time, have it discover new devices after they blink

@bazil don’t you also have to pat your head and rub your belly while doing what you said?

@olsen60131 I've repaired mine way too many times over the years. I've replaced some with sengled bulbs or smart switches. I realize you can't get color with a switch.

Do you have any custom device handlers installed?

For these? No.

@crabstick4604 I've heard there is a newer version of them that might need a custom device handler

@birdsall try re-publishing any handlers you do have. Then reset and re-add again.

@crabstick4604 thanks! They showed right up after I republished the Osram DH I had. ‍♂️
