Wyze Bulb Service Outage - 8/8/19

This is all very confusing as to what the circumstances are. Is this topic related to Bulbs Go Offline After Power Failure?
I get the same behavior as generally described that after a power outage the bulbs don’t respond to the adjustments (brightness, color) via the App. Turning power on/off doesn’t fix the problem.

Question: what is this “pairing mode” that some people mention? I don’t have any such mode setting in the App (have the latest versions of firmware and App).

Question for @UserCustomerGwen: You say “we saw a spike of AWS IoT offline reports for Wyze devices (especially Wyze Bulbs). This appears as our app/cloud losing connection to the devices”. What does this have to do with adjusting the bulbs using the App on the local WiFi? Do all these App commands to the devices go through AWS? So, we have a single point of failure (or obstruction) for all Wyze devices and functionality?
