@blueyetisoftware are you able to help on this? smarthings is asking me to check with the developers on this particular issue after the 54.5 firmware update, (current 54.8 was release to resolve the bugs but issue remains). Will need your assistance as my devices are all not working now. I have tried to restart the hubs and issue remains. thanks
@Luis_Humberto_Medina do assist as mentioned… thanks
The color picker is implemented by the ST app and submitted to the Hue hub by the driver. It sounds like a problem with the color picker control in the ST app. Have you tried it from a different device type? (iOS vs Android)
I don’t know what the issue is. Re-linking will likely not solve any issues with your network. The is only used to pair the hubs together and the tokens shouldn’t change unless you are modifying them in the Hue web client.
@blueyetisoftware the device do not work after the firmware update to 54.5. smartthings ask me to contact the developer…
see the error below… how can i resolve this…
I have only used it on Android. But, other drivers work fine with the color picker.
Hoping that somebody here can help. I’m trying to use the alert feature (blinking lights) but the option is greyed out for me.
I also can’t find the setting option in Hue Bridge to enable lighting effect. Is there a way to do so through the web interface?
Hi,
I have a problem with how wall switch modules work.
I have a double rocker switch to control my 2 blinds, and my problem is that in SmartThings, there is only one state (toggled down). I would need 2 states (down and up) so it works correctly. I was able to do what I want, but I need both channels of one switch module and set them as push buttons in the Hue app.
This would allow me to recover a module.
Thanks.
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I’ve lost the ability to set colors. Oddly enough they work in routines, as well as through apps like sharptools or Alexa but in Smartthings when clicking on a group this is what I get…
I’m in the same boat the alert/blink option is grey out.
alerts require accepting a consent but ST disabled the ability to accept that consent, so it is disabled for anyone that didn’t accept it prior to ST removing that functionality.
Is it possible to supply brightness with the scene? “Natural light 100” as a favourite name, maybe?
Doing it with the favourites and the dimmer slider seems to perform two separate action which is slower, doesn’t look great in practice, also the order of execution might change the outcome.
Yes, it is possible in the API, but last time I worked on this, ST only allowed a raw text edit for scene (aka preset) recall. If that is still the case, then I would need to create some sort of string syntax to configure more than the scene name. The options in the API are:
What would you be interested in? Curious if the group would have interest in setting these. Maybe use it for a more dramatic “Theater” scene transition or something like that.
Might look something like this instead of just the name. Not pretty but it might work.
Name,duration=60,brightness=100,dynamic=true
Thinking about this more, I would probably just use a JSON formatted string or the simple name like it currently supports. It would be more typing for advanced users, but it would be cleaner to implement and easier to add stuff down the road.
Yeah this would be fantastic honestly. I think native does this now, no? I’d play with it but I’m not in the mood to delete all the devices it’s going to add when attempting.
I think that would be great.
If you’re going to do some work on the driver, can I ask if you can allow the icon for buttons to be set. It would be nice to be able to set the Hue single button to the single button icon (stock ST does this).
Thanks
Would setting the transition duration in the Hue API mean that it would be possible for a routine that contains dimming to be locally executed? If so, that would be awesome!
Any idea how this driver works with the recently added multi-bridge support? I plan to use two or three different Bridges in a new project
There are no changes to the driver needed for this Hue update. All of your hubs are still separate. All Hue did is change their app UI to put them in a single screen and single login.
Been using this driver for ages with 3 hue bridges and it works great. Recently one element stopped working for me. In one room I use a hue motion sensor to turn the lights on, but sometimes I use a hue dimmer switch or a hue button to override that. The lighting scenes are managed on the hue bridge directly, but I use this ST driver to pick up when the button has been pressed and switch the sensor off.
A few weeks ago this stopped working. I’ve checked and:
I’ve deleted the switches in ST, and then gone into the ST web interface and re-found them by using the driver command. They are found and re-added so clearly the ST driver can see them. But I can’t work out why it isn’t seeing when the buttons are pressed. This is the case for two separate and different switches, both of which used to work for this use case using this driver. Any ideas for how I can get it back to working?
Try linking the Hue bridge again from the Hue bridge SmartThings device.
I had a similar issue this morning relating to one of my Hue bridges where the Hue SmartThings devices where not updating unless I refreshed the ST device. Relinking resolved it.
