Phillips Hue Hub + Wemo LED Bulbs

@JDRoberts

the wemo bulb now be connected directly to the smartthings hub

Yup, that is how I had it set up. Some time ago I posted a problem I had with LED bulbs after a power failure.

LED Bulb Hub alternative

I have a total of 11 LED bulbs connected to my ST hub (4 Wemo, 7 GE) which work perfectly until… the dreaded power failure. Once the power is restored each LED is on (even though the app may say differently) and it is an enormous task getting to turn off and respond properly to subsequent command. I first reported this problem back in March We had to turn off our power today and after we turned it back on I spent nearly 3 hours trying to get the LEDs working again. I got all but one working. This is driving me crazy. All it takes is a spike in the power and each LED comes on and will not respond to the app without endless fiddling . As I stated in previous post, this is not an issue with the wemo link hub (it by no means is a great product though) but I would prefer to find an alternativ…

The advise I took was to obtain a Hue hub, add my LEDs to it then add the hub to ST. So far I have only added my GE bulbs and my Wemo Led continue to give me headache (with bot ST or the Belking hub) so I thought I would try to add these bulbs to the Hue. Fail Hopefully someone else will learn from my failure
