INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions are applicable to adding your Smart LED bulb to an Alexa Device that supports BLE Mesh bulb.
NOTE: Please ensure your Amazon Alexa device is setup before adding the Smart bulb.
It needs to have the latest software upgrade. You can try “Alexa, is my software up to date?” to trigger software update, then add the smart bulb.
Sengled Smart Bluetooth Mesh LED bulbs are created for Frustration Free Setup. If you have purchased the bulb from Amazon using the same Amazon shop account as your Alexa App account, and had selected
“Link to my Amazon account to simplify setup” before paying for them on Amazon shop, you can install the bulb close to your compatible Alexa device and power it on. The bulb can join the Bluetooth network automatically.
You can also try the traditional way to set up bulb by asking “Alexa, discover devices.”
After the bulbs get discovered and connected with the Echo device, you will receive a notification from Alexa app. You may also receive a voice prompt from your Echo device if you have a single Echo device at home. Mesh Network Setup
If you want to have multiple bulbs setup for different rooms, especially rooms out of the range of the Alexa device’s Bluetooth signal range, you can utilize Mesh Network setup to extend the range.
- First, Setup the smart bulbs close to the Alexa device.
- Switch off the bulb and move it further away from the Alexa device and make sure it’s within Bluetooth range of another active Bluetooth bulb, which is connected on the network as a node. This will form a Bluetooth Mesh network. Each connected bulb will connect with other bulbs (nodes) within the range.
Congratulations on successfully set up your smart bulbs!

To reset your Smart LED bulb, ensure that the bulb is on and then quickly turn the bulb off and on at least 5 times (using a light switch or power bar works best). If the reset is successful, the bulb will flash three times. If it does not flash three times, you will have to try again.
