• Reset the Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb and reconnect it to your Wi-Fi network.

“Local Only” means the TP-LINK LB100 can only be controlled through your local Wi-Fi network. To control the bulb from outside of your home, you must sign in to your Kasa account in the app and enable the Remote Control feature in the Kasa settings.
