Right, people started talking about an entirely different configuration, which is confusing.
Anyone who is discussing the hue bridge or the Hue app does not have the same configuration as the one that this thread is about, which is an issue with Hue bulbs that are connected directly to the smartthings hub, no hue bridge.
Which device type handler are you using for the bulbs? There is now a significant difference between the one for ZHA bulbs and the one for ZLL bulbs.
