I didn’t understand the problem with Lutron remote.
I understand that it can reset my hue bulb which is connected to ST accidentally (ZHA). And then I will be able to use it with my Hue bridge again (ZLL)
Is this correct ?
Then the remote will be useless , or shall I be able to use it as a remote for ST ?
Can I use it as a button/remote device ?
What is not working (not perfectly working) ?
thanks. But if I get the Lutron remote, I would like to have use of it instead of getting another remote as you suggest.
so I’m looking for opportunities…
what can I use Lutron for ?
1- I already have 2 Philips remotes (one in bedroom and one in living room) which will be useless if I connect bulbs directly.
2- As far as I know; Hue bulbs are acting as repeaters ONLY when they are connected to Hue bridge
When Hue bulbs are connected to the hue bridge, they repeat only for the others ZLL devices associated with that specific bridge. They essentially form their own mini network.
When Hue bulbs are connected directly to the SmartThings hub without the bridge, they switch to the ZHA profile and repeat for any other ZHA devices associated directly with the SmartThings hub.
So I have a bunch of Hue Stuff, 3 BR30s 2 Blooms 2 Iris and probably 5 or 6 bulbs. The issue I have with running them through the hub is that it takes 15 seconds if I use rules engine to turn on/off hue items based on a switch being turned on or off. This may be rules engines delay, but I have other things setup on it and it doesn’t take anywhere near as long. I’m really tempted and would really like to put my HUE stuff onto my ST v2 Hub directly.
hmm so what are the ways to reset bulbs connected to ST so that I can connect to hue bridge? the reason for hue bridge is the hue disco which i can play the sound to have disco effect on the lights. i doubt ST can do that.
can this work as well? do i just need to go nearby and press the buttons and it will reset automatically? i think need to get this remote working first right? but how can i get it working? i don’t think is it a zigbee remote right?
