Resetting a Link Kasa smart bulb can help resolve various issues you may encounter. Two options for resetting the bulb are soft reset and factory reset. The soft reset refreshes the bulb’s connection without affecting your current settings. In contrast, the factory reset clears all configurations and requires reconnecting the bulb to your network and app.
Please note that the reset process may vary depending on the specific model of your Kasa smart bulb. To ensure accurate results, follow the appropriate procedure for your bulb model.
Additionally, when performing a reset, make sure to connect the bulb to a standard wall fixture rather than a dimmer switch. Use the wall switch to turn the bulb on and off instead of relying on your smart app.
You can successfully reset your Kasa smart bulb by following the specific instructions TP-Link provides for your particular bulb.
