Hue bulbs not controllable because of bad bridge ID

Support was no help for me, but what I found on my own is that though the IP address was correct for my Hue, there’s an additional ID value, and they were different.

So, I took the ID value reported by the Hue app for my bridge, and I used the SmartThings Web UI to edit the Philips Hue Hub device entry and replaced the bad ID with the correct one (there were some extra numbers prefixed, which I left as they were). Once I did that and re-stepped through the Hue (Connect) setup, everything matched up and I didn’t have to reset anything else and all my bulb configurations stayed in place.

So happy to be able to tell Alexa to turn my lights on/off again.

You wanna verify and pass this on to the engineers? ? ? ? Might just lead you guys out of the dark.
