my Switchbot LED light strip was working fine, although unreliable.
now, it’s permanently dead. Using the official Switchbot app, it could not find the strip as well. i can still press the power button on the strip itself physically to turn it on.
so is it safe to say the wireless chip on the strip is now dead?
