Hi,

I’ve a Philips Hue Lightbar which was connected to my Homey Pro 2019, after the migration to 2023 the light required a repair but the repair did not worked. The automatic pairing was not started.

The lamp was removed from the old Homey and I made a retry to fix the issue on the new one. It did not worked again.

So I removed the lamp completely but now I’m unable to reconnect again. It seems I have to put into pairing mode but I do not find any relevant info to how to put into pairing mode without a Hue Bridge.

Anybody has similar issues after the migration?

There are 5 ways of factory resetting Hue lights, but they all require additional hardware (apart from the Bluetooth method, but I don’t think the lightbar supports it):

God article. I have some Trådfri Remote at home. I made a try with that method. It’s weird because the Trådfri Dimmer and the lamp connected in Homey the pairing was also started but something went wrong to connect to Homey but the lamp and the dimmer switch was connected.

I have other dimmers not just the basic one so I hope it will work one of them.

Thanks a lot @robertklep
