A:AnswerYou have to put it in pairing mode. I had the same issue with Alexa. Try turning the bulb on and off again. This should work. It wouldn’t pair with my echo until I did this. Hope this helps
A:AnswerNo, this is zigbee protocol not WiFi. zigbee doesn't use WiFi 802.11 but it does run on 2.4Ghz so it will interfere with some WiFi signals.
You need a zigbee hub to use this. That may work on 5Ghz depending on your setup.
A:AnswerGreat question! The SmartThings Bulb does require the SmartThings Hub, or a device with SmartThings Hub functionality, and cannot link directly to Google Home. Once you have the SmartThings Bulb connected to a SmartThings Hub, you can integrate with Google Assistant. You can find out more information about integrating with Google Assistant on our Support page here -- https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/214837343.
