Updated : GE Link Bulbs - FINALLY getting ON status after manually turning on!

@kgarner It’s probably hard to find this info embedded in various threads, and as far as I know there isn’t an instruction guide yet (there definitely should be though); so here you go:

  1. Go to the developers section (link at top right of page). Click the link to check out the web-based IDE and login/create an account for the IDE.

  2. Go to the ‘My Device Types’ tab (navigation at the top).

  3. Click + New SmartDevice button on the right

  4. Choose the “From Code” tab

  5. Copy the code from the github link into this window (once at Github, choosing “Raw” button will give you just the code and can eliminate formatting and other weird copying issues)

  6. Paste the code and click “Create”. Then “Save”, Then “Publish” → “For Me” (This device type is now available to you)

  7. Now click on the “My Devices” at the top and choose one of your GE Link Bulbs.

  8. Click “Edit” in bottom left, then in the “Type” dropdown choose the new device type and click update.

  9. Repeat 6 and 7 for additional bulbs.

Enjoy!
