I think these instructions would work on other bulbs, but I don't have the ability to test as I only have this one.

I'm going to open a new PR, I didn't realise this was auto-generated, so I'm going to edit the proper source

Just noting that, I too found https://www.reddit.com/r/Hue/comments/vznv5q/hue_bulb_hardware_reset_only_bulb_required/.

I have ~100 Hue lights around the house, and this method (so far) works for the many different models I have (bulbs, GU10, outdoor, floodlight, and more).

It would be good to have this added to Hue lights as a method to reset, since I had lights on high ceilings that I've been resetting for years with a ladder, but after finding this, I can finally reset them by switching the rocker according to the instructions in that Reddit post.

Appologies I haven't sorted this. I've just researched into how to do this properly so I'll make a PR for Koenkk to review shortly (using my proper account) and will post it back here for reference.
