[APP][Pro] Philips Hue Zigbee (Without the bridge)

A thousand installs of the test version and counting, with no crashes or error logs so far… looking good! :slightly_smiling_face: If you experience any issues with the test version of the app (but not with the live version), please let me know ASAP.

Running fine over here :slight_smile:
Is it correct that the Wall Switch Module, when you have 2 or more off them the second input (still) isn’t working?

Hi, yes… a fix is on it’s way.

Hi all,

Bought a Hue Xamento M bathroom ceiling light and can’t seem to find it in this app. Is it known under a different name or maybe not supported? Would love to know!

Thanks!! <3

I don’t really think it matters, as it is just a Hue lamp. You will not get the right icon, but just pick a lamp that looks like it.

I kind of figured and will just try that then. I see specific models mentioned in the app though, so thought to do some research before hanging it and not being able to return it :wink: It’s kinda pricey.

Thanks!

Try one on a cord with a plug first.

Is there an eta on the bug with the Wall switch module that the 2nd input isn’t working anymore?
My wifi gets a bit frustrated about it :exploding_head:

Wall switch module - 2nd module not working anymore · Issue #617 · JohanBendz/com.philips.hue.zigbee · GitHub

I have 2 Hue bulbs added to Homey without bridge, set some Moods for it in the Homey app. What I noticed is that these bulbs are switch instantly to the mood settings, without a fade (or duration).

Maybe an idea to add a setting to the bulb with default duration, that will always be used when controlling it?

Hi, first of all thanks for a great app!

I have an ancient HUE bulb E27 806 lumen A60 9W 54mA and I would like to connect it to Homey. So I bought a HUE Dimmer remote, while pressing the power button it goes into pairing mode (blinking bulb after 5 sec). When trying to pair it to the Homey it just is not finding it at all, I have tried all the E27 white bulbs and even the general Zigbee, but nothing is to be found. Any ideas what I have missed? I would have expected it to pair nicely but nothing happens, it stays at Follow the instructions. I have placed the bulb within 5 meters from my Homey Pro 2023. Any advice is welcome :slight_smile:


If you can’t add it even as Generic device, maybe you did not initiate the pairing mode correctly. Sometimes also reconnecting the light from power helps…

Thanks Sharkys, I have changed the bulb into another socket and have done a power cycle, still no change. The HUE bulb blinks quickly, dims for a few seconds and then full on, I would assume that is the pairing/reset or am I wrong?

Frankly, don’t know, I set my lights year/s ago - but yes, blinking was there.
Try to follow exact steps as shown here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvlEAELiJKs

OK, sorted! It was my stupidity. When using the new remote you should use both the On button and the HUE button for 10 sec and another 1 second then it blinks in a different pattern but it finds it immediately :slight_smile:

Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi. Last thursday I came home to find all zigbee devices unresponsive. After a homey(2019) reboot, most devices were online again. But I have been having problems with my Philips hue motions sensor since then. They have all stopped sending data.
Homey reboot, homey factory reset, trying to re-pair, deleting and repairing, fresh batteries have not fixed the issue. Actually deleted one of the sensors and cannot add it again (timeout)

Did something change in the app recently?
I actually thought I had the ‘experimental’ app, but I am not sure now since the app logo doesnt show that anymore.
After the first homey reboot, the following was on the timeline:

I have a ticket at Athom but thought I’d check here as well

You can check that on the app store page:

The “Zigbee has been restored” message suggests that the Zigbee network was somehow reset (but a sort of soft-reset, perhaps just a channel change).

Hi, hope you can help. I bought a E27 standard Hue lamp and also 3 GU10 Hue. All of them White dimable.

They arn’t recognized bij the app. Just a as a Zigbee device. Manufactorer Signify instead of Philips. Result is that Homey doesn’t see them as lamps.

What can i do?

As what kind of Zigbee devices are they regognized?
What are the zb_product_id’s from Homey Developer Tools?
