According to Gizmodo, Cree is releasing a Zigbee LED smart bulb, which looks positioned to compete with the GE Link bulbs, at ~ $15. They should be in Home Depot next month. Not clear whether they’ll work with ST; I think that some said the WeMo bulbs don’t, even though they are supposedly Zigbee …

[image] joe1: which creates a “slow dim” effect (when changing dim levels). I am still tring to create the same effect when turning on and off (to slow the transition) but have not been able to achieve that yet. Any ideas ? Hi @joe1 , copied below is code (hopefully it copied in correctly) b…

The GE Link bulb device type is official in the sense that it was written by us. The device itself is not “certified” and does not appear on our Works With SmartThings page. The main reason for that is the issues we’ve observed and had reported to us with the bulbs dropping off a ZigBee network. The…

The ST hub is sitting right below a table lamp with the bulb and there is no unknown device on my device list. So I am out of options as to why when the green light flashes on my st hub why it does not pick up the light bulb

@brian_rhoden what channel is ST operating on for zigbee? Should be in your hub info page in the IDE. I wonder if the Cree bulb can only operate on the Zigbee Light Link primary channels. I recall that being an issue with resetting Hue bulbs that join the ST network.

Have you tried factory resetting the Cree bulb? I was able to do it using the same instructions for the GE Link bulb. Turn it off and wait 3 seconds. Turn it on then wait 3 seconds. Repeat this process until the bulb flashes to confirm that it’s been reset. It took me cycling off/on 6 times.

So, the process can be a bit tricky. Here is what I do (the timing is pretty important): You are going to do the following procedure: on off pause 2 seconds (count it out) So, with the power to the bulb OFF, and SmartThings not searching for a device: on (do not pause for more than a half sec…

I reset the bulb just as you instructed, got 1 blink from the bulb and shut it off immediately. Started ST paring mode and turned the bulb back on. No dice. Same result of “searching” circle forever. I have tried it twice with same results. The hub is sitting right next to the lamp base 1 foot a…

The manufacturer’s website has added a FAQ with instructions on how to do a factory reset if the bulb will not pair with a zigbee certified hub. As far as I know ST is not actually zigbee certified, but this might help anyway. Note that it’s a specific pattern that requires cycling power 4 times. …

Also, Gigaom says this is a Zigbee Light Link device as initially shipped, so it should work out of the box with a Hue controller, but not necessarily with ST. https://gigaom.com/2015/01/15/crees-15-connected-leds-work-with-almost-everything/ However, doing the factory reset as described in the FA…
