As someone who changes their wifi password periodically, I do not understand why a factory reset is required for all bulbs on the network. This is crazy to me. The network is secure, the app is password protected. I want to add these bulbs to most rooms around the house but I am now reconsidering.
For example, my bedroom has four bulbs in a group that I program to come on each morning, off when I leave the house and on again near my bed time. So, when I changed my wifi password, I had to
-
- Reset the bulbs with the light switch.
- Reconnect each separate bulb to the app.
- Recreate the group “Bedroom” for these bulbs.
- Recreate the sleep and wake timers I had for this group.
- Recreate the Google Home bedroom option for this group,
Now imagine doing that for several rooms, plus cameras plus thermostats. Crazy.
