GE Bulb Suddenly Stops Working With Echo!

Devices & Integrations
1

NO idea what happened, but I came home and suddenly the smart hub GE lights no longer go on or off after working for weeks!!

Anyone else experiencing this???

2

also it seems the smart hub channel on IFTTT isn’t working either? Is it just me?

3

Flip the switch to off… Come back a few minutes later, turn them back on and see what happens…

That’s what I do.

yes I’ve turned them off, removed them, re-added them, reset the device, reset the hub, removed and re-added them to the echo app, etc

the alexa app sees them fine and discovers them, it just refuses to control them suddenly for no reason at all

5

Did you wait a few minutes when you turned them off?

How are your other zigbee devices working?

6

yes, i did, the philips hue are working fine and control fine, thats the only other stuff i have

amazon echo support said samsung did something and update or something because of CES and they have been getting calls all day, things work then they don’t etc - how true that is i dunno

Yesterday, everything stop working for me and I had to reset the hub (unplug, take out the battery for 15 min) and then after that, things started working again.

i did a work around, i put the bulbs n the philips bridge and it works now fine

amazon is actually sending me a free wink hub because he felt bad my stuff stopped working with echo!!

can’t beat amazon customer service lol

I am. 5 GE bulbs and they will not work with Echo. I can turn them on and off via ST.

Same thing just started happening with me too. Fortunately I have a Hue Bridge as well so it looks like I’ll be adding them back to that.

It’s a shame because you have more control over the fade rates and such when connecting the GE bulbs directly to smart things, but since echo has no support at present, I don’t really have a choice.

This just happened to me too.

all integrations are currently broken. locally processed routines will work, but anything which depends on an integration - ifttt, echo, etc. - will fail. OAuth was b0rked by a premature code push. developers are working on it, we are told.

My Echo is working again, I assume the issue has been resolved.
