What an incredible mistake!
I had my ST on a different network!
But…both are on same network now.
Whats new is that I am told to press the button on the bridge. When I do, nothing happens.
I have tried pressing a couple of seconds before adding in ST, and powering down the bridge, and up again.
wait a few hours to see if things sync up. some users have mentioned that for them, devices will show up when they checked later. so patience in this case may be a virtue.
Status update.
Yesterday when I discovered that my ST and HB was on different networks, I moved my ST over to my standard mesh-network. I then got the message “press HB button”, but nothing happened.
I was in contact with ST support, which told me that mesh-networks often caused trouble (actually they told me its not possible to use). I then moved both ST and HB over to my ISP-modem, which works as a router, but only trough ethernet / cabeling. But it was the same thing, I was told to press HB button, but nothing happended when I did so. Support ran som diagnostics, and saw that there was som mac-adress conflict. She told me that this could resolve itself within 36-72 hours, I was just to retry.
But since non of this is connected to my WiFi, I didn`t have any way to control the Hue lights in the kids bedroom. I am still awaiting the remotes, only able to control via mobile ATM. I then connected everything back to my mesh-network.
And by doing this, I am now not getting the “press HB button” message. Probably the mesh-network messing it up.
My next question, which probably should be in a new thread: Is there any other way to integrate Hue lights in my routines? Some custom smartapp or webcore? I don`t want to connect the Hue Lights directly to ST.
