Use the first reset sequence if: Your bulbs are running on firmware version 2.8 or later (you can find your bulb firmware version by tapping on the device in your C by GE app). We recommend counting with Mississippi (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, etc.). Start with your bulb off for at least 5 seconds. 1. Turn on for 8 seconds 2. Turn off for 2 seconds 3. Turn on for 8 seconds 4. Turn off for 2 seconds 5. Turn on for 8 seconds 6. Turn off for 2 seconds 7. Turn on for 8 seconds 8. Turn off for 2 seconds 9. Turn on for 8 seconds 10. Turn off for 2 seconds 11. Turn on Bulb will flash on and off 3 times if it has been successfully reset. TIP: If the factory reset above was unsuccessful, you might have an older version of the C by GE bulb. Please follow the instructions below to reset. Bulb Reset Sequence – for firmware version 2.7 or earlier: We recommend counting with Mississippi (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, etc.). Start with your bulb off for at least 5 seconds. 1. Turn on for 8 seconds 2. Turn off for 2 seconds 3. Turn on for 2 seconds 4. Power off for 2 seconds 5. Turn on for 2 seconds 6. Power off for 2 seconds 7. Turn on for 2 seconds 8. Power off for 2 seconds 9. Turn on for 8 seconds 10. Power off for 2 seconds 11. Turn on for 8 seconds 12. Power off for 2 seconds 13. Turn on Bulb will flash on and off 3 times if it has been successfully reset.

that's just lovely design. they could have added a reset pinhole button like on every other device.

wouldn't be that hard to put the pinhole in somewhere unreachable while the light is in a socket but seriously, you expect us to increase component costs to save the user some frustration? your numbers are gonna dip this quarter
