The driver supports the discovery of Philips Hue Hubs on your local network as well as devices that are connected. Here are the top level features: Features: Import Rooms and Zones defined in the Hue app and allow group level control. No more popcorn effect Import individual lights Import motion …

[image] Jason: I’m talking about rooms/zones in the Hue app. If you group them in ST, performance will suffer. Grouping them in Hue would be better for performance and reduce the popcorn effect. Oh yes, I do have lights grouped in the hue app and some groups such as bedside lamps in their own…

I see. My original intent was to have the driver trigger Hue automations. So you would create a wakeup or nighttime routine in Hue and then trigger it from ST. Their API doesn’t allow for that yet, but I see bits and pieces of it in there.

@stillerson @leonardo @Jeff_Gallagher and others that cannot create devices. Check out this post. ST is still working on a fix, but they have a temporary workaround. You will need to send them your location ID. Keep in mind that you should do that directly with them over DM, as it is unique to your …

I’m not saying that this is 100% the issue or how related it is to the issue, but apparently I had an old device (from Echo Speaks) that was somehow stuck in my account. There was no way for me to see this or remove it but it was suggested that it was causing a problem in creating child devices. I b…

Thanks for the info but that wouldn’t impact this driver. The device IDs are not shared. The issue with child devices has been verified to be a ST cloud issue and they are trying to resolve it. They are able to setup a workaround for you if you DM them per the message above. After that workaround, y…

Gotcha. It came up after DM’ing my location ID to nayelyz and she said the developers asked if I could delete the invisibile device to see if that was causing an issue. On another note, they did use my location ID for the fix bc I was able to “import” all my hue devices with your driver. I don’t se…

I have two Hue lights in a room and one Hue scenes, one that turns one light red and the other that turns one light green. Both leave the second light off. I have created two scenes manual routines in ST, each of which just turns on the Room lights (a device created by this edge driver) with Play a …

Bumping this as more people keep asking… The ST team still hasn’t released a fix for their cloud yet and this driver, among others, will not be able to create devices until they do.
