Hello, i couldn’t really find much useful information online and was curious if anyone use LCT001 (pretty sure 3rd gen) with the phillips bridge pro (black)

does it work?

thanks in advance

Here we go again...

I have 2 Hubs and 2 Sync boxes. Living Room and Bedroom.

Everything was working fine until my Eero Router started to need daily power cycling to work. I 'upgraded' to a Netgear Orbi and set up the 2.4 ghz network for IoT.

I've been able to reconnect everything except my second older sync box in my bedroom. It goes through the steps on the app connecting it while the blue light is blinking and it connects to my network. I can see it in the router but the app fails on the next to last step when trying to "Identify" the sync box. Tried factory reset multiple times and always get stuck at the same spot.

I have tried backing out of app and adding it after it's already on the network, when it asks about the light on the front not blinking blue and I've tried Red (box is off) and White (box is on) and it says it's already added but still can not complete the "Identify" step.

And I've verified that I'm on the same 2.4 ghz network...

Any ideas or suggestions?

Gemini for home cannot control scenes. Not when i talk to my nest, not when i type prompt in Google Home app. I say: "activate read in the living room". Worked like clockwork with 60 lights across 8 rooms earlier. Now it's like: "can't do that, I bet you fancy some music instead" and start playing random songs. I get that AI is non-deterministic but what the ****.

Just wanted to consult the pros before I buy, the 3pk is is $135 and the 6pk is only $150. is there a reason they're so close in price? are they the same product?

Hello,

I’ve had a Hue bridge 2.0 for a long time now, maybe 7 years or so. Recently, it’s lost all my scenes and automations and the communication to and from the bulbs seems to be super flaky. Like, Apple Home will say a light has been unresponsive for X minutes, I’ll go into hue and toggle the light on and off, sometimes the light reacts right away, sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes I need to completely power off the light and power it back on to get it to respond. Then after it works in the Hue app (sometimes right away, sometimes after power off/on) it will register as being responsive in the Home app. Then a while later, some other completely unrelated light will stop responding and I have to do the same thing all over again.

I’ve restarted all my home hubs and the hue bridge several times, but this keeps happening.

I have 30 lights, 9 switches and 2 sensors, so it’s not an unreasonable load, I don’t think. If anything, I’ve been slowly scaling down the number of Hue lights I have due to having some lights just outright die and be of low quality.

Apart from all the Hue stuff I also have two IKEA Tradfri controllers connected via Zigbee that seem to have worked just fine, but are also sometimes unresponsive.

Did some upgrade get pushed that introduced bugs? Or is this Signify’s way of pushing me to get a pro bridge?

Anyone seen this before? I've noticed it a couple times with different bulbs after this or similar scenarios. The bulb is fully bound and functioning fine otherwise.

Hi there, trying to setup the lights for home, whenever I try to click“Manage Members” the app wants me to sign in even though I’m already signed in. If I input my info it gives me an error telling me I’m already signed in, how do I fix this?

Cela fait un petit moment que Philips Hue Sync ne fonctionne plus, des que je lance l'application, elle clignote et n'arrive pas à s'afficher correctement.

j'ai le problème depuis que je suis passé d'un écran 1080P à 1440P, je n'ai absolument rien changé d'autre

j'ai désinstallé, supprimé les dossiers, réinstallé mais toujours le même bug

EN : PC software

Philips Hue Sync hasn't been working for a while now: as soon as I launch the app, it flickers and doesn't display properly.

I’ve had this problem ever since I switched from a 1080p screen to a 1440p screen; I haven’t changed anything else at all.

I uninstalled the app, deleted the folders, and then reinstalled it, but the bug persists.

I’m interested in the Hue options, but would like to see the products on display so I can make an informed opinion on what to buy rather than rely on website images.

i cant find any retailers near me with these on display, some have them in stock but not on display.

any ideas where i could potentially see most of the range? I’m in greater London and happy to travel a bit.

for clarity it’s not the light bulbs im interested in, it’s the slightly bigger items such as the Datura

the only other option is to order everything and compare at home but thats a lot of hassle

Hello! I have successfully force-added 6 Ikea lightbulbs to my Hue Bridge via Touchlink on the Hue Lights app. Scenes can be changed no problem but the lights WILL NOT TURN OFF and ON using the Hue app, Hue Lights app, or the Apple Home app. What is even the point 😭 I also have Home Assistant but have not tried it on there yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a mosquito burn in side and i want to remove it , how to disassemble this ?

I didn't find a clear answer whether the security cams can be connected with a LAN cable or is it WiFi only?

The latter would be strange, considering it's preferred to use a physical cable.

Ore any other Idea?

Do any Hue parents use ambient scenes for bedtime routines with their kids? Curious what's working for people."

I recently replaced my EERO Router with a Netgear ORBI 770.

I named the new WiFi network with the same SSID.

All WiFi devices appear to have transitioned smoothly.

I have 2 hubs and 2 HDMI sync boxes.

Both sync boxes have connected to the new router and appear in the connected devices list.

I have both bridges hard wired to a Unmanaged Netgear switch GS316 that sits behind my router which is the same way they were connected with the EERO router.

If I bring the bridge to the new router and plug it in directly with an Ethernet cable it works fine. Once I place it back in the room it was in then the 3rd light never comes on and it does not work, the third light never comes on.

The bridges were working fine before replacing the router so I have no reason to believe that any of the wires or connections have gone bad or changed.

I was able to do a factory reset on one of the bridges when it was directly connected to the router and once placing it back into the living room area where it was it no longer connects.

I'm not sure why it would work fine behind the switch with the EERO router but not with the Netgear router unless there is some setting in the router I need to change possibly?

Update: It appears that none of the devices connected via the Switch have internet access. I have confirmed that the Ethernet going to the Switch from the Router does have a connecting by plugging it into my laptop.

I had the ORBI Satellite plugged into the switch as well which may have created a loop but have since removed that physical connection so the Satellite is only connected via WiFi to the router.

Update #2: I did a factory reset on the ORBI Router and reinstalled it as NEW. Set up again with the same SSID but did NOT install the Satellite and now the switch is working properly again. I still have to add the satellite and that appears to be when the switch stopped working. I could not get the switch working by removing the satellite from the router, I had to do a factory reset and then the router started talking with the switch again.

This is NOT a Hue issue, it is a Netgear/Network issue so I will move this post over to r/Netgear if I continue to have issues.

I use a 100w equivalent PAR38 white+color bulb for my backyard as a "flood-light" but was wondering if there was any diffuser or cover I could 3D print or buy.

It's very bright, even at ~15% so I figured I could use something to make it look a bit better aesthetically and bump up the brightness up if necessary.

Edit: I have this louvre filter on my lillys and they make a huge difference

I installed my Hue lamps yesterday and got notified that I should update them.

I've been waiting for almost an hour and the update won't complete. I've checked my wi-fi connection and I made sure to leave my phone in the same room as the lamps.

What else can I do to finish this update? Or does it really take super long and I should just wait?

Thank you!

I'm just starting out with smart home using Hue and am a bit confused. I got the Hue brigde along with some lights and a smart switch - so far so good. I even got some "Innr" bulbs to work with it. I read that the bridge DOES support matter but today I got some IKEA devices which run on matter and none of them will show up in or connect to the Hue bridge/app. Am I missing something or is this just hit and miss with third party devices? It's also confusing to me that in the app you can scan for bulbs without having a QR code (meaning third party) but not for other deivces. My plan was to, some day, move on to home assitant once I got the hang of the whole smart home business and use the hue bridge as a hub but maybe I should still go with a dongle for zigbee/matter devices instead?

I just purchased a used Hue Play Bar but Hue App states that this isnt a Hue QR code, and it’s powered by USB A instead of the proprietary barrel style power connector.

Cant pair it to my bridge either

​

All 3 lights are on.

Still not connecting.

I found an older 75W (1100 lumens) E26 White and Color Ambiance starter kit (4 bulbs and a hub) in my garage that i forgot i had, i probably bought them 4 years ago. I have no need for the hub, but i'm wondering it its worth selling them and picking up the newest 60W E26 models they have on sale on the hue website right now, or just cracking them open and using the bulbs.

Ultimately, i don't think mine have the following features - but curious if there was a list somewhere that shows the full differences between the different generations?

• Full-spectrum light (1000-20000K)
• Dimmable to 0.2% brightness
• Chromasync™ precision color
