All WiFi routers have a2.4 GHz band. If the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz share the same name, you should have noproblem connecting your device you can go try to add new smart home device. 

If for some reason you are having trouble connecting your device to your WiFi router you can try the following.

1. Try to install the device further away from the WiFi router, outside the range of the 5Ghz (about 15 feet away) - where your phone's WiFi status bar isnot full. This way only the 2.4Ghz signal is detectable by the device.

Or

2. You can use a mobile hotspot from a secondary mobile device toconnect the device, to do that first set the name of the hotspot and thepassword to be exactly the same as your WiFi router name and password. Turn offyour WiFi router so that the device will not try to connect to the WiFi routerinstead of the mobile hotspot, please note that all your other devices may tryto connect to the hotspot so you may need to power some of them off. Keep bothphones and your smart device close together and then connect your device usingthe hotspot. After it is connected, turn off your hotspot and turn on your mainWiFi router, the smart device will automatically connect to the main WiFi, asthey are the same name and password. 

5 GHz band has faster speed, but shorter range compare to 2.4 GHz band. For a smart device, wider range is prioritized over speed.

There are smart devices which support both bands, but for most smart home devices, it is not cost effective to support an extra band which is not necessary for the device to function.

This smart light bulb canwork with all the ordinary ON/OFF lamp, but not the 3 way lamp. The socket isdifferent, there is a short-circuit risk if you use an ordinary bulb.

·      You can add multiple devices at the same time. Make sure they are all blinking rapidly,then just add them the same way as adding one device. After the devices are connected, you can give each of them a different name. You can control them individually in the app, or you can group them together with the group function and control them as one group. 

·       If it is hard to make them blink rapidly at the same time, you can install each of them in a different lamp and add them one by one in the app. Once a device is connected to your app, it will remember the WiFi name and password of the router in your house. Then you can unscrew it and install it in the place you needed. It will connect itself to the same WiFi automatically

·       You also can group multiple same model devices to one group and control them together as one group. At the device's control panel, click the three dots at the top right corner, then choose 'Create Group', it will list all the devices which are the same model as this one.You can choose the ones you want to group and give the group a name. Then you will find this group on your device list, you can control this group the same as one device. Please note that if you are using Amazon Alexa, it does not recognize the groups created in PlusMinus app, you need use Alexa's group function to group different devices in the Alexa app.

Sorry, it doesn't workwith Z-Wave or zigbee. You just need to connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
