Hi there!
I have a few Yeelight and ZigBee bulbs and lights around the house and many of them can be reset\unpaired by power-cycling them 5 times or something like that. All of them are connected through smart switches, not the kind which are just ‘buttons’, but the ones that cut power, for backwards compatibility with ‘dumb’ bulbs and WAF. So I can control both the power delivery to the bulbs and the bulbs themselves.
The problem is a 3yo who loves blinking lights and turning the switch on and off, which keeps unpairing them.
I wonder if anyone managed to come up with any solution for that? One thing that comes to mind is to disable the switch for like 10 seconds after it detects 2 or 3 power cycles in a row, to prevent it from going to 5 cycles. But I don’t think it’s possible to do that with the switches I have. Or completely removing the physical switch, wiring them directly and placing a ‘button’ instead, but that goes against my policy of ‘all lights need to have a physical switch that can cut power’.
I can’t see any solution to that right now, but maybe I’m missing something.
