I have added Tap Switch 2 and I have properly working buttons 1…4, but I cannot find any solution for WHEEL (left and right)? Is it possible to use this JOG WHEEL with HP23?

I am having issues between homey and Hue, that i did not have previously in our old house.  
I recently moved to Unifi also, so could be same thing.  
May I ask which things you changed exactly? 🙂

As Hue bridges are Wired and not WiFi, there may not be much more to it than that unless you have extra rules defined yourself

Hi there. Brand new to Homey so please bare with me.  
I have a Philips hue setup at home with hue dimmer switches and sensors and hue hub.

I added all the lights perfectly easy on the homey app (HOMEY PRO) (I do not have a homey hub)

I would like to add my hue dimmers. Is this something that is possible?

Thanks.  
Chris.

You might just give the matter integration of the Hue hub a try  
I could do this yesterday with v10.1.0-rc.2. Hue might say that scenes are getting synced as well but even Alexa don’t get them through matter.  
Response times are quite good and now I can turn off all devices without some bugging and keeping on (had to do this with hue flow charts before)

Hey guys. I switched from Hue app to Matter to connect Philips lights and I am missing fade in/out function (eg. set brightness 50% during 10min). Are you using any other workaround? thanks for tip.

I reactivated the hue app to get the scenes but didn’t add the lamps / switches  
Homey is still missing a real scene function (I wasn’t quite happy withe the Zone memory app, you can try this)

Hi all,  
when i connect Hue wall switch module to hue bridge, without adding any lights, as i want to control them via flows, im not able to get the switch work in Homey like a rocker (on/off) switch, so its not possible to create on/off flow, because by default is wall switch in hue app in 3 push mode, not in on/off.

Did someone figured this out?

Thank you, Vitek

i just recently added my hue hub to Homey, but when i put light strips into any flow, they turn on super dim even though they are showing 100%…then i have them turn on in a flow and have them dim to 100% and they dim down to nothing. super frustrated.

Would you be able to screenshot and show your flows? Your description is not a problem I have had and I have 4 light strips in my kitchen responding well to flows. I use flow to activate scenes in Hue with Hub instead of asking Homey to set dim levels etc

Ok, your flow may need to have an extra card for setting the brightness to 100% or whatever you prefer. The “turn on” won’t turn on what you want. Do you have advanced flows? They do make this much easier

i added the dim to 100% card for both lights after the turn on cards…still dims off. coming from smartthings to homey pro…such an easy routine or flow…should be simple…not complicated

What is puzzling is that I have been using Homey for years and have Hue devices in flows and they behave as you would expect. What does the Hue app show after the Flow has run?

A ned version 6.0 of the hue app is now in testing and it adds support for v2 of the hue api, including support for the tap dial dimmer in flows.

I saw that in another and installed it, as you would expect for a test version it has a few bugs, reports time outs even after the lamp has changed and while it can see Rooms it cannot see Zones.

Last few weeks my Philips lights won’t respond sometimes in some flows, i have buttons paired and motion sensors sometimes the light will not turn on after button press or turn off if there is no motion.

Any one else have this issue ?
