Protocol

WiZ lights communicate over UDP port 38899 using JSON messages.

Timeout behavior

Protocol requests use per-attempt timeout (3s default). Each retry gets its own full timeout window.

Discovery uses a total timeout (10s default). All broadcast packets are sent within this window and responses are collected continuously.

Default retry config

	Retries	Initial	Max	Strategy
Protocol	5	750ms	3s	exponential
