Merkury Smart & Merkury Innovations

Hello, please bare with me as I just got my home assistant running after like 3 months of trying. So anyway before I got it working I had ran everything through Google home and had 2 kinds of smart bulbs, I got both from Walmart and there technically the same brand but the name changed so I think some other things did as well. I have a lamp that has the older Merkury Innovation bulb in it and I was able to connect it to Tuya with no problem at all. However newer Merkury Smart bulbs aren’t paired so easily. Again bare with me please bc I’m trying to learn this and don’t know what I’m reading half the times BS or legit but I’ve read something about how the bulbs need to be in something called EZ pairing mode and what they are in now is AP mode. I’d appreciate any insight yall would be able to give me and this post is in the wrong place also let me know and I’ll delete it and put it where it needs to go
