I followed the installation instructions. Everything ran smoothly. Although I can see the bulb created, I get the following message:

This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. I'm running Home Assistant 0.108.6 in macOS Catalina via docker.

Do you configure the bulbs with the YAML file or directly in the UI? The UI configuration is currently not working. Can you post the part of your lights section from the config?

I set it up manually in the yaml.

light:
  - platform: wiz_light
    name: <wiz_8d76bb>
    host: <192.168.108.208>

You should remove <> symbols out of your config It should look like

light:
  - platform: wiz_light
    name: wiz_8d76bb
    host: 192.168.108.208

P.S. You can also use user friendly naming for your bulb for you convenience, something like

light:
  - platform: wiz_light
    name: Reading lamp
    host: 192.168.108.208
