I had to change from the detected Zigbee Hue bulb to Osram Lightify white and now shows better in the “thing” before it had, a colour picker, and 1 slider. Now it has 2 sliders, 1 for temp, 1 for brightness, and no colour.
I’ve connected one of the tunable bulbs, it detected as a Zigbee Hue bulb. Added fine and switches fine. However if it’s on via ST, I switch it off at wall switch, then in ST iOS it still shows as on. Is this just the way it’s going to work because of it was on before it lost power?
Is this the right name/handler/device to keep it as for control? I’ve just changed it in the IDE to an Osram Lightify white 60W and the iOS ST app now shows better control.
Yes. The bulb can’t tell ST it’s off, so ST doesn’t change the state. There have been attempts to update the status when a device is unresponsive, but that method has issues too.
Got my bulbs added, and working in ST and changed type to Osram bulb. Why if, in UK anyway, it’s not fully supported, or compatible as a registered “thing” by Samsung, do in the IDE it have a list type with the Osram bulb in?
They’ve introduced a bug where sliders with custom ranges don’t work correctly right now. Color temp is probably the most common use of a custom slider range. It’s clunky, but it should work if the method is called from a SmartApp; so if you have Rule Machine installed already, you could create a simple rule to change it and it should work.
So has anyone figured out why the loss of temperature control or how to fix it yet? My masters degree and 2 weeks of debugging hasn’t gotten me any closer to an answer.
Looks like there is a firmware update for the recessed fixture. I also found out that some of my devices did not get the latest firmware update so you have to contact Osram and have them look at your account to see which ones did not get the update. You need the gateway plugged in and the device connected in order for them to force the update. Best way to tell on a RGB light is that latest firmware will cycle through colors during the pairing process while older firmware will just flash the light.
I have active/open dialogue with them that entails about 6 emails back and forth a day and have mentioned it several times.
My recessed lights still work fine oddly, I have tried everything including tricking ST into seeing other lights as recessed as well but that didn’t work…
Anyone get a fix on the temperature slider? Also i just picked up the land scape lights which I LOVE. Is there a way that the colors can cycle automatically?
The color loop functionality was added in the latest firmware for the gardenspots. I don’t know of any official color loop on smartthings but you can kinda achieve this using rule machine, assuming you have it installed.
It’s not official, but I’ve incorporated the color loop functionality into custom device handlers for zigbee bulbs that are capable of it. For the Gardenspot, you can use the code at the link below. (Note: only EU Gardenspots that have their firmware updated via the Osram Gateway will have a fully functional color loop. Non-updated Gardenspots may do one cycle through the colors and stop. US versions have not received the same firmware and my emails with Osram support suggest it isn’t coming anytime soon as US bulbs use ZHA and color loop is a feature of ZLL.)
For more info on how the color loop features in this code work, please see this post for my device handler for RGBW bulbs (specifically Hue). The color loop options and functions are the same.
Darn looks like I will have to wait for that firmware update as I am in the US until then this rule I setup in rule machine will do. Thank you for the explanation
I officially feel like a fool. Your question made me check the Osram app for updates (I check once a month for my bulbs/gardenspot), and there was an update. Did the reset and pair with Osram and of course it added color loop functionality in the Osram app.
Unfortunately, when I reset and paired back to ST, my code for color loop isn’t working. I’m getting an unsupported cluster command message, so maybe Osram had to backdoor this feature in the manufacturer cluster since it’s not supported by ZHA. I’m going to reach out to Osram again and see if they’ll help me understand how they enabled it.
In the meantime, @tpmanley, @Tyler any insight or do you have good contacts at Osram that might be willing to help? Color loop is enabled for US Gardenspots in the Lightify app, but the same code that works for the EU versions returns unsupported cluster command messages for the US version.
@Sticks18 thank you for the explanation I hope you are able to solve this because I would love to have color loops that did not contain washed out colors
Do the other lightify products work with your device handlers for color loop? I have the Flex strip, a recessed fixture and an A19 bulb. I tried to use the handler you posted earlier on the A19 bulb but it did not seem to loop through colors. Maybe I was not using it right? I was a bit confused by the instructions I do have all my products on the latest firmware.
For the US versions, I will need to figure out what Osram did differently on this side of the pond, but I expect it to work on all Lightify RGB(W) products when I do.
The EU versions of those devices do work based on feedback from our UK users. They’ve been able to use the color loop function on A19, Flex Strip and Gardenspots (not sure anyone has tried the recessed fixture).
For the Flex Strip and A19 (any RGBW products) they use my Enhanced Zigbee Hue Bulb device handler (2nd link in my post above), since it includes white color temp functionality. Once we figure out color loop in the US, I can create a US specific version of that handler too.
Might be a dumb question… I had the osram high hat bulbs for a while and only linked to ST with no gateway. I got the gateway the other day because I thought I could use it with ST and have their fun light effects. I can’t use both at the same time right? I need to be connected to strictly ST or the osram gateway?
until then this rule I setup in rule machine will do. Thank you for the explanation
