Tonight may not be the best time to try to setup your hub/new devices. STs cloud is having a hiccup.

My GE bulbs weren’t working when I woke up. I rebooted the hub and now they work.

Thank you my bulbs did start working after a reboot this morning. Still acting up. But the status still shows issues so I will wait and see.
Thank all this community has been full of support. I appreciate all the help I will be needing as I start this journey.

For your GE Link bulb, you may want to read that thread and install the improved device type found in that thread.
There’s been a few updates to this thread, so please make sure to keep up with the latest posts at the bottom!
Sorry for starting another thread on these bulbs, but this warrants a new thread (I think). This thread provides the device type for the GE Link Bulb modified by community members specifically to allow ST to receive the bulb’s “ON” status when it’s manually turned on by a switch - not the app.
Thank you to this community for all the help, especially @Sticks18 for the code snippet that did the trick. This was a shortcoming to address between ST and the bulb, and this community did it. The device type code below works for the several bulbs I have. Now whenever someone in my house turns on a lamp with one of these bulbs ST’s app correctly shows the status of the bulb - yea!
