[ST Edge] Philips Hue LAN [BETA] (3rd Party Driver, Not ST Native)

I know you said that the driver hasn’t needed an update but, if you are willing too. I’d love to see if you could implement the new Hue Bulbs that now allow for lower and higher Kelvin Temps (1,000k~20,000k instead of the old 2,200k~6,500k). The only place I can change the new Kelvin Temps are within the Hue App.

I deleted everything and started over with the default Philips hue driver from “Smartthings drivers (Beta)”. It works just fine. Tried deleting and then go back to this Beta driver. No changes, still doesn’t work.
So for now I miss: Rooms, Effects and Scenes. :sob:

SmartThings hubs v2 and v3 both on 58.10.

Two Hue v2 bridges both on 1.73.1973146020.

My Hue Hub is on 1.74.1974063020

And my Smartthings is (assuming the right firmware attribute) 000.059.00005

If I had to guess, the ST beta firmware has caused the issue. I am not in the hub beta program.

My Hue devices and bridge went offline at some point in the past 24 hours but I power cycled the Hue bridge and everything started working again.

I tried power cycling the Hue bridge and still not reconnecting with SmartThings. Any other ideas?

My bridges have now updated to the same. Edge driver still working for me.

Is it possible to set the hue hub into home or away mode from SmartThings? I set up a routine which I thought might work but unfortunately not.

Hi, everyone, the engineering team mentioned they saw the same error you did, they found the error with the Beta firmware and will fix it. Once we have further news, we’ll let you know.

Any more news on this? Do I understand correctly that the issue with the hue hub and all the devices showing as offline is a bug in the beta firmware?

Hi, @Andyjd86
This issue will be solved in the next Beta release. Are you part of the Beta group?

I am. Is it something that is likely soon or will it be a while yet? Our homes smart lighting has fallen apart since this happened

I don’t have information on the ETA, sorry. But, can you let me know which SmartThings hub version (V2, V3, Station, V4) are you using to see if there’s any alternative, please?

I have a v2 hub.

That feature controls your geofence, not the security modes. Using the geofence, you can trigger location based automations even if the Hue app doesn’t have your location. It’s helpful if you want to use devices that don’t have the Hue app or if you don’t want to give it location access.
