I’ve been struggling like crazy since the last major firmware update to understand why my bulbs that were working so well all of a sudden went haywire since the last firmware update.
In the last firmware update, the bulbs had to be reflashed because the update failed. When reflashed, they finally came back, but have constantly gone in and out of connectivity in the app. Slow sluggish responses that are inconsistent are now the norm. I have to hit the button for a scene about 10 times for my two bulbs to get it. Pretty much a pain the rear and because of that, we rarely use them now. However, I did notice something today on my DHCP server.
Both of these lights fail registering to DNS via DHCP. I don’t have some crazy network going, but a dedicated DHCP and DNS instance that has all my IOT devices working just fine with DHCP reservations (Nest, Kuna, SmartThings, Neurio, etc). I’ve tried everything on my end to try and make them succeed to no avail. Here is a copy of the error logs from the Windows DHCP server.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
