Hello !
I bought this (1 bulb and 1 remote) to test devices:
I directly reset the remote and add it to Homey to control all my Lifx bulbs -\> Nice !
Then I want to add my philips bulb to Homey but problem : I need the remote or a Hue bridge to reset the bulb (that’s what I found on the internet). I was like “oh man I reset the remote too quickly fuck me”.
Is there another way to reset a philips hue bulb to add it to Homey ?
Thank you !
Julien

Dont worry you should be able to use any remote to reset a bulb (it does not need to be connected to that bulb)
Just hold it very close to the bulb and hold the on&off until the bulb starts flashing (10sec)

Thank you for your answer @FKey !
But may I use my current Philips Remote or do I need to use a new one ?
Maybe there is a way to factory reset the remote ?
Have a nice week-end !

Can can use any remote (connected to the bulb or not) to reset the light.
You can reset the remote with the button on its back (will lise connection to all bulbs)

Thank you @FKey ! Even if my remote is already reset, reseting bulbs pressing on and off button simultaneously still works ! I thought this functionality disappear by reseting the remote but it doesn’t !

Bonjour Julien
Je me permets de te contacter car après la lecture des différents posts, je ne trouve pas la solution à mon problème (et tu sembles avoir eu le même type)
Je viens de configurer mon Homey Pro et n’arrive tout simplement pas à appairer mon Living Color Iris Gen 3
Je précise que je ne souhaite plus utiliser le pont Hue et ne dispose pas de télécommande
Une idée ? (J’ai aussi un problème de volets, mais ça viendra plus tard 😂)
Merci d’avance pour ton aide
