I had a rather odd problem whereby a Lifx white bulb was continually going offline in HomeSeer (and disconnecting from my router). It didn't matter how many times I reset the bulb, reset the UltraLighting3 plugin, reset HomeSeer, and reset the router, it still kept going offline at regular intervals.
It appeared to be a problem with my wi-fi although the distance from the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 Satellite Extender should have been OK.
The bulb had a UK bayonet connection so, in a last desperate attempt to possibly change the wifi coverage of the bulb, I re-inserted the bulb after rotating it by 180 degrees. And it worked!
Whether this indicates that the Lifx bulb has a dead spot in its Wi-Fi coverage, or whether it can have issues with which of the two power connections of a bayonet socket is the Live connection, I don't know.
However, I don't think that the problem was with that particular bulb, since it was the second bulb that I had tried in that location with both showing the same symptoms.
