In the last week I had a Cree Connected LED in one of my bedroom lamps, stop responding. However if I issued a command to it via Amazon Echo, it still responded. The interface on my Android app had the exclamation point next to it. Last night I removed it from my SmartThings via the app and I tried re-adding it. However now SmartThings can’t detect it. Looking for ideas on how to resolve this.
Have you tried deleting it from the IDE page?
I have Cree bulbs. Sometimes one will show as not connected to ST; however, I can still control it either through ST or with Alexa. Once I cycle it on and off it usually shows as connected in ST app.
I just looked in the IDE under devices and it’s not listed in there.
See here …
Crees can be tricky to connect to ST. Make sure to go through the steps to reset the bulb so it can be discovered. Then try adding it.
off for 2 seconds, on for 1 second, repeat several times until the bulb flashes, then off, select discover devices in ST app, turn on bulb
I tried the reset thing and could never get it to flash indicating it was reset.

If it did not flash, it did not reset and can not be discovered. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to reset. Like I said Crees can be tricky. Also try off for a count of 3 or 4 (instead of just 2) and on for 2 or 3 count.

I’ve done the cree flash dance hundreds of times over the last couple years. I’ll say this, get a chair, sit down get comfortable, and slow down. Never seems to work until I really slow down slower than I think really should work. Doing it with a cheap lamp that is just a single on/off switch is easier and more reliable than a 3 position switch. I’ve also done it via a power strip as well. But if it doesnt flash it doesnt reset. After it flashes, give it another turn off, then back on…slowly…then it should be detected easily.

I randomly lose control of my Cree Bulbs. They show up as not responding. Resetting them shouldn’t be necessary.
