Philips hue integration messed up

Is anyone having issues with the Philips Hue Integration. Today I realized the lights were not updating its status on ST, then noticed it started getting communication errors with Philips hue.

Then when I checked the Philips hue device suddenly screwed up all my rooms, put everything in one room (where I put the bridge on the app), then some of the light stopped responding.

I decided to remove the hue bridge from Smartthings as the mess up was already done by Samsung

Now when try to add the hue via the Add Suggestion the ST is giving me, it get an error every time, so right now i am unable to add all my lights to ST :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I leave this here as for reference:

The Philips Hue driver uses the same code as the Aqara FP2 driver to communicate with the device, called lunchbox. There seems to be an issue…

And a rollback to a previous version of the lunchbox used in the FP2 driver fixed the issue:

The FP2 driver was working until this:

Please pull in the latest lunchbox version that exists in the philips hue driver. This will help with maintenance in the future when we add the library to the lua libs and no longer need to put it in these lan drivers.

I’m ldeora.

And here’s the patch that could fix it:

Do you have an ST hub or only use the app without a hub? If you have a hub, which method are you using to connect your hue bridge; direct connection, cloud to cloud, custom edge driver (if you have a hub) or matter.

If you have a ST hub… you may want to try the Matter connection if you are able to.

Hi @jkp

I have been using for year the one that you need to press the Hub Bridge button to sync. That is the one that for some reason started having issue like not updating light status, delay on actions, etc. (maybe because of the explained above by @Andreas_Roedl )

I added back the Hub Bridge using the same method as above and it worked this time. However, it screwed up all my routings, scenes :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Now, I just realized the “Smart lighting” SmartApp is showed “off” however all the routings inside are there and so far works fine, but when I try to Enabled it, it tells me “No network connection” even the Hub is online and connected (I can control everything). This started happening at the same time as the Hub bridge issue

BTW I have ST hub V2
