Well I rebooted the hub and Philips bulbs are either OFFLINE (ZLL Dimmer Type was set) or apparently ACTIVE (Kudled Color Bulb) but not responding to any changes (on/off, brightness %). Tried changing the Types and they alternate between these states but don’t come Online.
Also noted that not all my Ikea bubs are working, 2 in an extension bedroom are offline. Thought maybe they might have dropped off due to the mesh getting broken with the Philips bulbs offline, so I plugged a Smartpower Outlet in the room, which is working ok, but those bulbs are still offline.
The firmware update has not been a big success here I’m afraid.
I have 2 devices that went offline. One will require a power cycle using the air gap switch (a zwave switch), the other is a zigbee device (Iris contact sensor) that should require just removing/reinserting the battery to rejoin.
I have been turning these bulbs on/off with the mains switch. None of them are responding.
It will be a real pain if i have to re-pair them, 3 of them are in outside lights which will need unscrewing the enclosures to get them out to relocate them next to the hub. 8 bulbs will need doing unless there is another non-invasive solution.
The ‘ACTIVE’ bulbs behave normally from the app (e.g. give the ON status), but don’t actually do anything. The OFFLINE one just say ‘Turning ON’ or ‘Turning OFF’. I guess that’s just normal offline behaviour and the active state is not used anymore (I have read) so they are also probably just ‘offline’ in reality.
I am very fed up with this bullshit. I was going crazy last night wondering why my zigbee lights went berzerk. Got tired after troubleshooting for 35 minutes and went to bed, then I see this. I don’t know what the thinking is at samsung, but this the main reason I’m loving Hubitat, smoking fast local control and I update WHEN I AM READY. I have most of my devices moved over and waiting on an XBee delivery to finish my zigbee mesh
Any offers for my “stupidthings” V2 hub??
I feel your pain, bulbs should come back on it’s own. If not try an add a thing, it won’t find anything but might help the bulbs come back. My bulbs that went wacky are in the depths of my basement, and they came back after I ran add a thing, well after 8 hours that is
My hub (2015) went offline after the firmware update to 0.24.20. It comes online every time after I reboot but after few seconds it goes offline again. What should I do?
