I want ot include the bulb 2 from Zipato. Ik think i have followed all instructions:

- installed the zipato app
- the bulb was less than 20 cm away from homey
- at the intruction to swich on the bulp (what i did) the bulp flashed and moved to 5% (= exclusion)
- at the instruction to swich on the bulb again (what i did) the bulb flashed 2x (= reset) and after a few seconds the bulb flashed 1x (=inclusion mode)

After waiting for more than one minute i get the message _something wend wrong during adding […] try again (but than in dutch)_

I did ths now already 10+ times with different bulbs but the problem persists.

can someone tell me what i do wrong?

I found the solution and i will share it with all of you who had the same problem:

reset the bulb by turning the bulb on 6 times within 6 seconds  
(The bulb will flash one time and after a small time double flash)

_ **turn the bulb off!** _

start the app and press the + sign (add a device), Select Zipato and Bulb2

Turn the bulb on when requested  
(The bulb will double-flash and dim to 5%)

Turn the bulb off and on when requested  
(The bulb will flash and dubble flash)

wait a bit longer and the bulb will be added
