I have a new kitchen with some lights from L&S. I bought the emotion driver and homebase(zigbee 3.0).
With quite some problems i managed to get my three lightning groups into the homebase and paired it with a Philips Hue Hub. The three lightning groups were imported but 2 of these groups don’t work in the Hue App. The third lightning group does work, but includes all three lightning groups. This way i can operate only all the lights, but unfortunately not seperate. After this i should be able to import these lights into Homey.
The L&S emotion lights came with a four channel remote controller. You have to pair the lights from the driver into the remote. At this point i am stuck. I only am able to get all the light into the remote, but no individually.
Because i have seen some topics where the question was if you could use the L&S lights with Homey(answer is YES😁) i made this new topic. I am aware it is a little bit of topic.
TLDR:- Each Emotion LED driver of a “group” of lights needs to be set as a “Master” for it to be controllable via the home base.
I have FINALLY had some success with these L&S Emotion lights… I thought I should share, in the hope it helps others…
We have 3x ED 12/30-1 Emotion Drivers each controlling a light strip or pair of lights. We also have 3x 1-Channel Emotion remote controls for each light and an L&S Emotion Home base (Zigbee 3.0)
Each remote controls one driver which in turn switches a light. I’ve paired the remotes to the home base and can see the switches in my home automation but could only control one light… Which was the light controlled by the “master” Emotion LED Driver.
We were about the send them all back as not fit for purpose when it occurred to me that I didn’t have 1 group of lights and controllers, I had 3 groups each containing a single Emotion LED driver and a remote. So ALL my Emotion LED Drivers needed to be setup as “master” of their own little group…
Once that was done I was able to control my lights (mostly) fine via my home automation.
Personally I wouldn’t recommend the L&S setup its ridiculously over complicated and support from L&S is non-existent.
Just got the same setup on our Siematic kitchen.
Can you explain to me how i can connect the emotion home base to my Hue Bridge?
After i press the switch on the Homebase it is green for only two seconds and then turns white.
Is there something i do wrong?
Assuming you have already paired your light controls to the Home Base you need to press the button on the L & S Home Base for 6-11 seconds to get it into Zigbee pairing mode. Then get your Hue Bridge to look for it.
Thanks for your response.
After connecting the LED controller to the home base,and pressing the button for 8 secs it stayed green. Bridge took some time but found the home base and it works now
Ooops, to quick
I succeeded in connecting only one LED controller to Hue.
Only the first controller that i paired to the home base is recognised.
The other LED-controller is also in master mode (led is blue blinking on that controller)
How can i pair the two other led-controllers also? I tried by repeating the procedure (press button on home untill blinking blue, and pressing the channel on the remote 4 sec) but after letting the hue app search for new lights it can’t find a new light
(Do i need to reset the home bases to do this?)
Do i need to do anything else to make the hue app find the ‘light’ (extra channels/led-controllers)?
