Tapo Smart Bulb keeps resetting itself
Tapo Smart Bulb keeps resetting itself. It happened 3 times already. It will suddenly turn on and blink in yellow color, then it will go offline in the Tapo app. It won't be detectable even after turning off/on the switch. So I would need to delete it and add it again in the app.
I encountered this problem 2 consecutive days.
I have the latest firmware. Is this a faulty bulb? What's going on?

Does the light bulb blink once or keep blinking non-stop? Do you have a video?
Try to factory reset the smart bulb, see if that helps. How to reset the Tapo smart bulb

@Wayne-TP it'll blink non-stop and will stop after a while. Then it'll go offline and I would need to delete and add it again in the app.

@Wayne-TP tried the soft reset and factory reset but it didn't turn on at all after switching it on/off 3 times or 5 times.
I've had this for around 2 months. It happened again. It turned on and off while it was off. It did that for 2 times. Checked the app and it went offline again. Tried resetting, as mentioned, didn't work.

Smart bulb should be in the ON state before the reset, then perform OFF&ON operation for 5 times.
