Successfully paired Kudled Color Bulb (Chinese Hue A19 Bulb Copy Cat, $23) with Philips Hue Bridge

Do you have a link? Thx

It’s in Chinese, no English product details.

They have not list/launch the bulbs. I contacted them via Taobao.

Thx for the links. Hope you can get this working. At $20 that’s a steal.

Hi @Kelvin_Kueh, do you mind sharing your code, for some reason I get below error when using the Zigbee Hue Bulb device handler. Thanks in advance.

Awesome! Thanks @Kelvin_Kueh, I let you know when it works out :slight_smile:

looking to get their zigbee wall switch next. To control the non smart ceiling lamps.

Pulling in a neutral will be a PITA tho. Will get an electrician to do the job

Not sure how it will work out.

The $20 Kudled RGBW 9W bulb is able to pair with Philips hue bridge as extended color light !! :grinning:

2 Likes

Are these bulbs available in the states yet?

Can you share what you have to do to get the bulb to pair with the hue bridge?

It’s the same way you pair with hue bulb.

I am having trouble with pairing the RGB kunled bulb with either the hue bridge v1 or the smartthings v2 hub.

The bulb flashes red, green, blue, then back to red and repeat when power is applied. Does this indicate that the bulb is in paring mode?

No device was found when I tried to pair.

Thanks in advance,
Johnny

Try resetting the bulb, on/off, on/off, on/off, and it flashes a few times, then start detection.
I’m using hue bridge v2, ST v2, no issue with RGB.

@jakers102: My team just got off the phone with Kudled representatives and now we are being informed that the latest generation Kudled bulbs are compatible by default with the Philips Hue Bridges.

Background story:

I had bought a few Kudled bulbs in August 2015 and they were compatible with the Philips Hue Bridge 1.0, resulting in this original topic creation.

Then in November 2015 I had bought another batch of Kudled bulbs and they were NOT compatible with the Philips Hue Bridge 1.0.

We had connected with Kudled to ask for feedback and they indicated they were in discussions with Philips and were not allowed to produce compatible bulbs at the time.

Now (March 2016) they have informed us they are producing Kudled bulbs again which are by default compatible with Philips Hue Bridges 1.0 and 2.0…

As the ZigBee protocol is open, Kudled is to my understanding allowed to make bulbs which use the same frequency as original Philips Hue Bulbs, however Philips can still theoretically block syncing / pairing via their App and I believe Philips officially created a Friends of Hue program to properly integrate non-Hue bulbs with the Philips Hue Bridges.

Conclusion:
I think, but I am not sure that you @jakers102 may have a Kudled bulb from an older batch whereas @hongtat may have a Kudled bulb from a new batch…

Thanks for the insight , Chun.
I am guessing there is no obvious way to tell if a kudled bulb is from the old or new batch. And am I safe to assume when the bulb is flashing red, green, blue, that the bulb is in paring mode already?

Johnny

Yes, when you turn the bulb on/off quickly several times it will go into the flashing red, green, blue mode which is it’s pairing mode, at least from my personal experience and I believe hongtat indicated the same.

I’m having the same problem as @jakers102 :(. I have a Hue Bridge V2 and Smartthings V2 hub.

Just bought one off of aliexpress for $25.50. I hope its compatible. It was listed as zigbee light link so I believe it will work.

Let us know us know how they work @2l82try1
