The only way I have found to reconnect (temporarily) to the TCP hub is:
On my cell phone app, I go to SmartThings Labs -> Tcp Bulbs.
On the Connect your TCP Lights to SmartThings page, my username and password are already entered. I click Next, then Done. It seems to work for 1-4 days after this.
This has also been happening to me as well but slightly differently.
I was completely unable to turn on/off TCP from ST. But schedule on at sunset was still working. Turn off at a time was not working. I fixed it by going into TCP connect, where my credentials already were (like yours) and hit done. So far I’m at one day of it working fine.
I get the same here when trying to control from my Harmony remote. After the “re-login”, even though the credentials are already there, things start working again. I tend to go a few weeks or more between having to do this.
I just gave up on TCP because of this. Only had two bulbs replaced them with GE Links and they work flawlessly. Such a difference. Will be Ebaying the TCP’s just not worth the hassle.
Had to re-login to mine this past weekend. Very annoying. As soon as Cree releases some BR30’s that are connected I plan on throwing this TCP’s out. Very frustrating.
SmartThings support said they’re working on it.
In the meantime, they said I should try what has worked for some people–reset my TCP password on the TCP app.
I did that last night. We’ll see…
Mine only works briefly after hitting done in TCP connect. It then stops working with ST altogether until I open TCP connect and hit done again. Going to remove ST scheduling of TCP lights and just use the TCP app for it.
This may be of interest to some. I just discovered that TCP lights are controllable via the Greenwave channel on IFTTT. This allows turning the lights on based on ST triggers and some other stuff. Can’t turn them off as motion stopped is not an event that is reported to IFTTT by ST.
Not sure what is going on at TCP, but my bulbs worked for a bit this weekend and then today they completely stopped working with SmartThings or via the native app. Is there any development happening with TCP at ST @Tyler@thegibertchan
