I have two LB110 bulbs. I could upgrade one of them from 1.2.3 to 1.7.1 using the app but not the other one. I'm not sure why, the one that worked is much farther away from the router. Maybe there is more wireless traffic/interference near the bulb that failed to update?

I don't have access to a Windows machine at home so I downloaded and ran the iotUpgradeTool_V1.3 on Wine on my Mac and it worked!

Thanks afarmer784!

Here is a solution that worked for me, which I received from an elevated tech support rep. You will need a Windows PC in order to perform the manual update of the bulb:


If your hardware version is V1, you can try to refer to the following steps to upgrade the firmware manually with a windows computer.

1.Make Sure the computer and the smart plug are connected to the same router/modem.
2.Donwload the firmware http://static.tp-link.com/2017/201712/20171228/iotUpgradeTool_V1.3.zip to the computer and extract it
3.Click and run the main.exe
4.Click scan button to find the devices on your local network(may click again if your device is not found)
5.Select your device by click it in the devices list box
6.Click upgrade button to start the upgrade procedure
7.The upgrade result will be shown in the below log window and progress bar

> Hello, I purchased a LB130 Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb today. I was successful at adding the bulb to my network except when I attempted to update the firmware. When I started the process, it began to update, only reaching 2%, at which point I received a 'update failed' message. This happened several times, and then I gave up. Can you please help me get this fixed?

Your feedback is very important to us, please feel free to contact me for further help.

Best Regards

Didn't work for me. When trying to upgrade two light bulbs it gives me "2021/02/20 08:03:18>> Unknown device type".  This is becoming very frustrating to have two lights bulbs on my network that simply will not work.

I've reset them countless times and they will not update nor can I get them added into my Google Home because I'm unable to turn on 'Remote Control'.
