So im using philips hue with the hub
And recently i encounter signal problem for my zigbee motion sensor.
And i understand i can use an zigbee powerd device to extand my signal ( zigbee light)
Can i connect the philips hue light ( i have one more extra) to my homy hub without using the hue hub?
It will extend the mesh for all devices connected to the same hub only. Homey connected devices form a separate mesh from all Hue hub connected devices, they have their own mesh.
This is the version of the Homey app (smartphone).
I asked for the Homey Firmware version (4.2 or 5.x) and the version of the Philips Hue Zigbee app for Homey (v2.0.1x).
The reason why I asked for, because two days ago a new version of the Philips Hue Zigbee app (v2.0.18) with a lot of new devices was released. Maybe you use the old version and your bulb isn’t supported.
And what numbers?
These numbers are not a secret. With these numbers I wanted to check if the lamp is already supported.
On GitHub you can make a request in the “Issues” section and ask the developer for adding the bulb. Therefore you need the IDs.
You can also post the request in this thread.
I do not recommend updating to firmware v5.x. The firmware v5.x still has beta status and is partly buggy.
However, it is possible that the developer of the Philips Hue Zigbee app adds the lamp to the app which is only compatible with the Homey firmware v5.x.
For more information and questions, please go to the thread mentioned above.
