Osram just released a new line of zigbee light bulbs called Lightify. Temperature tunable white only. About $30 each. Here’s the kicker: the Hue bridge won’t pair with them, with or without ST. So either they’re not ZLL certified and don’t know the secret handshake (in which case ST might become able to pair even if Hue bridge can’t) or they’re using the no color temperature tunable device type instead of the no color dimmable device type. (ZLL has a lot of different bulb device classes. ) Or both of the above are true. Anyway, I wouldn’t expect them to work with ST yet, but if someone knows different, let us know. @tyler , is ST supporting all ZLL device classes, or just some? CNET has a detailed comparison with other brands.

Damn, wish I had another option. I feel like I’m living in a jewellery display case

did the firmware they just pushed out 2 days ago?? make things wonky? I was actually going to update the firmware tomorrow but if it has made things wonky ill just wait the bulbs work with the firmware they currently have and osram seems to refuse to cough up release notes on the firmware updates ( i have contacted them many times over release notes)

My situation caused the lights to have a blue tint to them making my house feel very industrial, I hate it. I’m not sure if the firmware is to blame or the temp slider on ST app. Or both, but it is making me really annoyed

I think (and I do mean think) that you can now configure a bulb’s behavior on power-up when it’s connected to the Lightify hub. I believe that it gets saved in the firmware somewhere. This seems to be a new feature. Why do I think this? The other day I was updating the firmware of one of my recessed units. I saw (and ignored) something about setting the power-up behavior and saving it in the Lightify App. Because I ignored that, I’m getting the same effect; it comes on at 100% brightness and max temperature when you power it up. Not very appealing. I’m hoping to confirm this weekend and will report back.

Please let us know. I updated and don’t recall seeing this… Now I’m also in that boat

For color cycling when.linked to Smartthings hub see my new App. [image] [OBSOLETE] Garden Hue: New smartapp to change hue color on a cycle or random, sunset to sunrise SmartApps & Automations ok here it is version 2.1 with the following changes: added an option for a physical/virtual switch which sets enable/disable based on switch state. also work around issue where sunrise time sometimes shows today (in the past) sometimes tomorrow, by comparing with current time do decide if we need to set straight or add 24 hours.

[image] Scream8187: Please let us know. I updated and don’t recall seeing this… Now I’m also in that boat This morning I got busy and moved my 16 Cree and GE Link bulbs over to the Philips hub. Other than a little difficulty getting a couple of them to pair, no problems. Now I just need to re-configure the Hue integration and re-do a bunch of RM rules. Hopefully I’ll see an improvement in the reliability of those bulbs. I have to report, though, that the OSRAMs (A19, BR30, 5/6" recessed tunable white (RT56 TW 65 01), and the 5/6" recessed RGBW (RT56 RGBW 65 01)) do not pair with the Hue v1. This is true with both the old versions of the F/W that they had, and the new ones that they now have after I updated them. Also, there is definitely a way to set the power-on color and level in the Lightify App. Unfortunately, when you reset the bulb in order to get it to re-paired with the ST hub, those settings are lost. With the new F/W the RT56 TWs come on full at the highest temperature color when powered-on. Very bright and blue and obnoxious, IMHO. Kinda disappointing. The BR30s, A19s, and RT56 RGBWs come on full bright, but at the other extreme of color. I spent a bunch of time today updating OSRAM F/W (30+ bulbs x 10 min/bulb!), in the hope that these bulbs will behave better with the newer code. For the record, here’s what I saw with respect to OSRAM bulb firmware versions (as of 4/30/16): Bulb ------ Old F/W -- New F/W .... ------ ........ - ........ A19 ------- 01020205 - 01020451 BR30 ------ 01020314 - 01020414 RT56 TW --- 01020157 - 01020481 RT56 RGBW - 01020318 - 01020436 I did not try to pair the Commercial Electric recessed units with the Hue hub.

I live in Texas - after a storm here its pretty much for sure we will have a power outage - and that’s about once a month or more! just wish they defaulted to white …

So that tells us why, but as of now we still don’t know how to fix?

For expanding the garden spots. I have found it us cheaper to buy a whole 9 bulb kit and not use the power supply and controller than it is to buy 3 3 bulb expansion kits.
