I can’t say when the OTA firmware will be released, but it is moving through the release process. In the meantime, if you are having any issues either with OSRAM (or GE Link bulbs for that matter) or you have OSRAM/GE Link and you’re having problems with other devices, this is what I recommend:
Power off all your OSRAM/GE Links (at the switch or unscrew the bulbs)
Wait 15 minutes
Reboot your hub (through the web interface or just pull power and remove batteries)
Power all the OSRAM/GE Links back on
This will try to force any end devices to join through other routers or directly to your hub instead of through OSRAM/GE Links. In my testing this significantly improved the reliability of the OSRAM/GE Links and kept them from turning on unexpectedly. Note that if you don’t have any routers besides these bulbs then this method may not help.
@joewom since you’re still having problems and you’re on the latest firmware I’d recommend contacting OSRAM directly.
Ill chime in. The updates to my osram bulbs was rock solid, before i was having random bulbs turning on and half the bulbs just would not work. After the up;date, no issues at all since.
let me also add, I have the bulbs as GE Link in my devices so that they are local devices. No issues, and actually that works better than osram which i cant even find in the device handlers anymore.
The OSRAM DTHs have been retired and rolled into ZigBeeBulb or ZLLBulb DTHs (depends on which bulb you have). Though for standard On/Off/Dim bulbs I recommend the GE Link DTH noted above as it runs locally.
Rebooting the hub clears the routes that it has stored that tell it how to reach each device on the network. Restarting forces it to figure out these routes again rather than waiting for it to detect that some of the routes have changed. Basically it just speeds up the process a bit. Just to be clear, the reboot should be 15 minutes after you powered off the OSRAM bulbs and just prior to powering the OSRAM bulbs back on.
That’s right. Each device can act a little differently, but the SmartThings sensors and many others will detect that their connection to the network (called their parent) has gone within 15 minutes and then they will try to find a new parent which will either be the hub or another router on the network like an outlet.
6 bulbs and a light strip updated perfectly for me. I needed to power cycle my hub to get it to show the correct hub firmware, but once it was updated I just manually clicked to check for update for each device and waited. You’ll know the devices updated because they turn on by themselves.
Super happy to have updated firmware - thanks SmartThings team! It resolved a few issues I was having, and it saved me from having to buy an Osram hub.
I had also picked up an OSRAM gateway a few weeks ago. It wasn’t able to update the firmware so I took it back. It actually wouldn’t even show the firmware version.
All other OSRAM devices showed up fine.
3 bulbs and a Flex.
The Gardenspot is the only one that has this issue.
I updated the firmware (0x01020492) on my 16’ Flex light yesterday, and now it seems that it isn’t lighting as brightly as it was. I verified that the level is set at 100 in IDE but it just seems kind of dim.
Anybody else noticing this?
