I am using the Hue zigbee app to control my Hue lights. So not using a bridge, do not have a bridge. One of my Hue lamps has stopped working. I tried reconnecting it, by adding it. But the app does not see the lamp. Probably because the lamp itself is still assigned to homey. Instructions in the app state I need to reset my lamp first, but how do I do that? Google only shows methods with a bridge or a remote. I own neither (I have homey!) Any solutions? (It feels pretty clumsy to find somebody who owns a bridge, homey should be self-supporting) ---

No, did think about it. But the lamp itself “thinks” its connected to a system, so it will probably not connect even if I remove it. And if I remove it I need to add it to all flows again. And I have a lot of flows with this light in. ☹ So I’m hoping for a soltution that requires less work… ---

Every hue lamp has its own unique ID. I’m hoping when I reset my lamp an reconnect it. It will be recognized under the same ID and be usable again. But hopes are small because if I do not delete the device there is already a device with the same ID… ---

Have not been able to fix the issue. So decided to remove the device. Since it was not connected anymore that took some steps, but worked nicely. After that I could add the lamp again 🙂 But had to repair all broken flows 😢, luckily I saved my flows to a pdf so I could easily find the hue settings. Case closed ---

So to reset a Hue bulb u need the bridge or a remote. Homey cannot do this by herself. Gonna close this topic as it seems to be solved. If u have any problems with that plz feel free to contact me or another moderator. ---
