Does anyone else have issues with GE Link bulbs dropping off the system? I had a serious issue with v1 where they would work fine for some time then drop off randomly and I would have to remove and re-pair them to get it to work again and then they would drop again. My solution was to add them and c…

[image] Macadoodle: I would try the Hue route again but Hue does not work with v2 yet for everyone according to tech support. What doesn’t hue work with? I’m using hue bulbs and they work perfectly.

Can’t link to my bridge - they told me its a known issue for some and they had me send my hue’s mac address to them to work on it. Haven’t heard anything back. Since day 1 I haven’t been able to connect to hue even though it works fine on its own and smartthings sees the bridge.

This is a firmware issue with the GE bulbs and unrelated to our hub. This device is not certified at this time due to this firmware issue. A new firmware version that corrects this issue should be out in the next two months and we’ll look at supporting this device officially.

I don’t have any more specific information to provide other than to say that the firmware update is not ready at this time but should be available in the near future.

So you’ve been in communication with GE about it? There’s hope that it might be fixed? Should I hold off on selling all my GE Link bulbs? Serious questions… Also, will we be able to update the bulbs through the ST hub? Sorry to blast you with questions but you are literally the only person on the …

I haven’t talked to GE directly about this issue, but I’ve spoken with someone who has. They are aware of the issue and it seems to be fixable over the air. If you can live with the pain for a few more months I’d say to keep them. Our hub does not yet support ZigBee OTA updates, but we’re working t…

Good enough for me! Thank you @Tyler !!

This happens to me also, but only after a power failure. It’s quite annoying and this is why I am not a big fan of smart bulbs.

Have a look at this thread. It’s not ST, it’s the bulbs themselves, it will do it if they are connected to a Wink hub or a Hue Bridge.
