Unplug all the lights and re-set them up. I had the same problem when I got my second one. YouTube helped a lot in getting multiple lights under 1 parent

i reset everything.  when i go back in to connect to the lights wifi, it doesnt show as an option.  I see none of my lights wifi network.  only my home network

You have to connect directly to the light first. It’s tricky. That’s why I had to YouTube it

thank you for the help.  the only way i was able to get them all back on was to set each one up "locally" by themselves.  Once I tried to connect the parent/child, thats when hell would break loose.  They were not recognizing each other.  so for now, they are individually running as is.

Once I can get new lights, im gonna scrap these.  I have fought with them since the day I got them.  not user friendly in my mind.  I want one where i turn the lights down with a knob or some type of manual control.  easy on, easy off.  no app/wi-fi in order to control them.

damn lights get my blood boiling.
