Unable to Control Phillips Hue Bulbs After Upgrade to Firmware 1801260942 (Bridge V2)

[WB70]

@Kneemuh

I’ve had to rotate every now and again as every few months random bulbs need to be told twice to turn off or on. I live a very densely populated urban area, so once in a while I take a look at a diagnostic analysis of the 2.4 Ghz spectrum and try to find the least noisiest channel.

Good deal. You have probably read this before then, but here it is in case you haven’t.

Short Answer

The best configuration is usually to make sure the Wi-Fi router and the SmartThings hub are at least 10 feet apart, and use Wi-Fi on channel 11, SmartThings on channel 11, and the Phillips hue bridge on channel 25. (See the diagram in post one of this thread – – Zigbee channel 11 and Wi-Fi channel 11 are about as far apart as you can get.)

Unfortunately, however, since it’s not easy to change the SmartThings channel and it doesn’t use channel agility, you may have to go through all the steps above if you’re having interference problems.
