Hue bulbs not working through ST

[JDRoberts]

@Bruce_R

To clarify, i am unable to discover any of the 3 bulbs. At all.

I’m sure that’s very frustrating. What you describe is different than the problem that is being discussed in this thread. This thread is for people who have the bulbs attached through the Hue bridge and then they just stop working through SmartThings without their making any changes . Your issue is about reconnecting bulbs that have been removed from a direct connection with the SmartThings hub without using the bridge. Or that never connected directly at all.

I’ve answered that question in your other thread.

Help (Re)Connecting Hue Bulbs - No Hue Bridge

I posted this earlier, reviving an old topic, probably in the wrong area of the forum. I have been using a Hue White bulb for several months without issue, connected directly to the hub. Today I went to the store and bought 2 more. Upon trying to add these, not only did these not get discovered, the one I had been using for months stopped working as well. I rebooted the ST hub from the IDE, and ended up removing the bulb from all smartapps and from the ST hub configuration altogether. Now I still cannot get any of the bulbs to be discovered by ST. Any suggestions are appreciated.
