Yes, sorry, I was to tumb to copy the link using my mobile…🙄 I would like to make an API call as Kevin describes it. But instead using HueLabs I want to use automation. Unfortunatly I dont find the automation nowhere in the Api ---

English is not my nativ language so sorry for the rambleing ---

Bad experience with hue integration. I find the hue integration very unreliable. Resulting in lights turned on all night, etc. Before I controlled the hue lights with node-red for years without problems. Also when I want to change color and dim-level I have to delay one of them otherwise only one of them comes through. But the delay is very annoying. With node-red is did send all changes in one message. Maybe Athom should open source the plugin. ---

That problem isn’t related to the Hue app, it’s an internal Homey issue: sending commands to multiple devices from a flow will often result in some devices not getting the command. The only solution for that is using delays. ---

You mean the messages get “lost” in homey, even before sending? In node-red I did send 7 messages (7 lights) at once to the hue bridge and it always worked. ---

Yes, this issue is Homey-specific and it not related, or limited, to Hue. ---

Did you notice that with other type of devices also? From the other types I have (mostly Z-Wave, but also some ZigBee), I do not have them in the same flow, so I didn’t notice it and was hoping it was the hue app which then could be improved. ---

You can try by creating a test flow that uses your different devices, but if you search around the forum you’ll find that it happens for all kinds of devices (Zigbee, Z-Wave, WiFi). Adding delays is how people “solve” this issue. ---

I’ve a gen 1 hue bridge, with 3x A19 bulbs that came with the gen 1 starter kit. The set works fine with the Philips hue app (not homey), but homey can’t detect any of my hue devices even after I deleted the bulbs from my hub setup. Do I need to upgrade the hub or bulbs to a newer ver to make them work with homey? Sure hope not! ---

Support for the Hue Bridge Gen. 1 was ended by Phillips on April 30th, 2020. This bridge can only be reached locally and can no longer communicate with Homey. Buy a Gen. 2 bridge and Homey will recognize it. ---

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the Homey Hue app since the last update of the app 2 days ago? Homey can’t control my light anymore. Testing a flow results in the below. Already rebooted both Homey, the Hue App and the Hue bridge. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/5/4595bc68ec77799451ec45237964e59ff8267934.png) And ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2cd282a39ab3a27cc3e1c5e10e2efe4d5adf20cc.png) ---

I guess you mean Homey Bridge? If so, the Hue functionality for that device is currently limited to plugs and lights, for other types of devices you need a Homey Pro ór wait for Athom to add support for them to the Bridge (however, there’s no public timeline or even a suggestion that they ever will). ---
