Coincidentally, I just had to do the same procedure for a LIFX BR30 smart bulb this morning. To be fair, I doubt the timing is actually that critical, and it's more easily summarized as "turn it on and off five times." Not the worst thing ever. However, that was just to get started. WiFi setup from iOS failed with an "unknown error" multiple times. So I had to wait 20 (!) minutes for it to fall back to the old style open-AP type configuration, open the app, manually enter my SSID and passphrase... I bought this one bulb as a curiosity, not expecting to be impressed, but honestly wasn't expecting to find an implementation as botched as this. The day/night cycle feature seems cool until it randomly stops working. The app often can't seem to figure out if the bulb is on the network or not. Did I choose a lemon or is this par for the industry?
