Same here, 3 units have now shown the same behavior, in different rooms and mounts. Just seem to share the time they were bought. Has anyone received any response or solution to this issue?

I have about 20 L630 units. Now, after about 1 year they are starting to fail this way.

 

Suddenly, some of the units start 'rebooting' which translates in to blinking. It does not blink like when pairing as the color is the last it had.

 

The units are in different rooms, but they where bought and installed at the same time.

 

To solve it temporarily, I may cut the power and perform a real cold reboot, but after some hours/days, same unit will go in this cycle.

 

This has happened in 3 units in the last month.

 

Replacing the unit and reconfiguring it solves the issue.

 

If you need more info, just ask me, please.

Thank you

Do the light bulbs keep flashing non-stop? Or does it blink for seconds and then repeat it after a while?

 

Have you tried to factory reset the smart bulb? How to reset the Tapo smart bulb
 

Which country are you located in? Do you have videos of the problem?

The blink is constant. 
Will try the hard reset and report the outcome.

If the problem reoccurs after the factory reset, you may contact the local TP-Link support team to replace the device first. 

 

Please record a video of the product issue if possible and send it to the local support team, or share it here (or send it to me via private message). This will assist us in analyzing the problem with the product.

The problem is just the same. In fact, it does not even seem to perform the factory reset as it will always blink the same after each power cut.

In the meanwhile, another unit started failing in another appliance.

Will contact local support. Thanks for your assistance.

Any body got any answers yet

 

I set 8 L630's up about 2/3 years ago but in the last year I've probably replaced 6 of them as they just randomly turn on. You can't do a factory reset as they don't go back into a state whereby you can set them back up again they just blink on and off after unplugging and plugging them back in

 

I know they are only about £6 each but that is not the point it's obviously a fault with the bulbs

Riding on the coat-tails of this thread. I've had six L630 quite happily functioning in my office for 3-4 years. Recently I started to experience the same issue as described here - and also attempted the same troubleshooting. I had a spare, so simply swapped it out for a new one which solved my problem. Within 2 weeks, a different bulb switches itself on because it wants to.

 

I started to create automation that switches the bulb off if it's on, but I would need to duplicate that for every hour of the day I definately want it off - bit this would be incredibly tedious as there is not recurrance option in the Smarts of the app.

I now just turn them all off at source - in other word's rendered them dumb.

 

With the amount of people raising the same issue my guess it's either built-in obsolescence or a defect in recent firmware.

 

Anyone have experience of Govee? If I'm going to buy 6 new bulbs I'm tempted to switch (excuse pun).
