And this is mine, using the same Follow Up principle:
I had the same problem. Here is what did to fix it.
- Remove Thing from ST
- Reset GardenSpot RGB
- Marketplace
- Things
- Lights & Switches
- Light Bulbs
- OSRAM
- OSRAM GardenSpot RGB
- Connect Now
You should see that it’s connected now and you can continue with set up.

I had some issues with the sets I got from amazon factory. They were all obviously used some included free dirt on stakes.
My issues was when they paired with the hub they selected the new DTH. I could cycle power but not get a correct color change. Looked like no yellow or greens. I went in the IDE switched to the stock DTH. Cycled power to lights. They started working correctly. Could hit any color and level. So I then went back to the custom DTH and everything worked like it was supposed to?
Weird, just thought I’d toss out what I had to do for reference.

Just an FYI, I had one of my Gardenspot strings become non-respondent. I had to delete it from smart things reset it by doing the blink blah blah , and then re-add it to ST. Then it was fine. I’m not sure why this happened. I didn’t change anything. And I have been running one piston from core fine for the last four months. It’s a sunset/sunrise piston.
I’ve had this happen to me several times but so far, just a simple power cycle has fixed the problem however annoying when it happens.
Yep. Thought a power cycle it be all that I needed. But not for me. I had to reset it and re-add it to SmartThings. It’s working fine now changing to a new color every seven minutes thanks to CoRE.

Same thing happened to me a number of times.
Me too, every 2-4 days one osram lightstrip or one of my osram a19 rgbw lights need a power cycle…
I had thought it was because they were too far from the rest of my my Zigbee network, but I put a couple of hue bulbs outside and they work fine.
Same here. I’m sure most of the people that have the Gardenspot strips it is the furthest thing away from their hub. Because it is outside. As is the case for me. It is on the edge of my zigbee mesh.
All is well on the Eastern front after resetting the strip. Everything is back to normal with my core piston. I used to have zigbee bulbs outside-- wemo LEDs. But I have replaced them with LIFX. I don’t look forward to voiding my warranty with LIFX, but I do look forward to seeing how they do in 0° temperatures! I guess the curiosity is worth the price.
Support had to cycle something on their end. Support said there was nothing I could do on my side. The issue appeared to be in the hubs handling of the device type.
It’s working now.
I have three a19 color osrams in a light pole outside. Only one fails. I think it my be using a repeter that acts up…
Anyone notice the change in the SmartThings app for the GardenSpot Mini color controls? You used to have the ability to select the color from the color wheel and it gave you the name of the color on the details screen for the device…now that is not there and so if you have independent strips it is almost impossible to match the colors. This happened sometime between Sunday and Tuesday. 
Anyone have any suggestions?
I noticed that too. Not a good change.

I hate that stuff changes without warning or notification. 
In the new color picker, it seems really difficult (if not impossible) to get a true RED color. Very much prefer the old color picker. This seems a step backward. The only way for me to pick red, is to use the Smart Lighting app which allows you to specify the primary color.
Having trouble getting this code to work.Version 1 works, version 1.2 won’t turn on, version 1.3 turns on but wont change colors. Kinda strange.
Yeah, there are some that can’t seem to use the latest versions. Me bring one of them. We tried to figure it out, but didn’t have any luck finding the cause. So like me your stuck using the lower version or smartthings default DTH.
Could someone point me to where I can read up on how to do this in core? The Saving of attributes to a variable part so I can set the other lights to those values.
I have been poking around in it and not really finding the breadcrumb I need to get me on the correct path to fumble my way toward something workable. Any hint or pointing me down the correct path would be greatly appreciated.
