Indigo Domotics

Sorry to hear about the issues with the Tradfri lights. I recently tried finding cheaper alternatives to the Hue bulbs as well. They're unreasonably high priced. I had similar problems to what you're seeing with the Tradfri bulbs with some rebranded eWeLight bulbs off Amazon. They're terrible overall and only work correctly about 30% of the time (but were only $25 for 2 full color/color temperature bulbs). Still probably not worth it. I unwisely tossed the packaging too, so I can't return them. Chalk the lost funds up to lessons learned I guess.

I also tried some Osram Lightify color temperature bulbs, some "RealityLight" bulbs, and some "innr" brand bulbs. Of those, only the innr bulbs would even pair with the Hue bridge. The innr bulbs were about $50 on Amazon for 2 full color/color temperature bulbs, but work flawlessly with the Hue bridge (at least the 4 I bought did). The others had to be returned as they wouldn't even pair with the bridge (they probably weren't ZigBee 3.0 compatible, in retrospect, which is required for the Hue bridge).

maybe you do get what you pay for lol.

I see Ikea say that they intend to open their bridge API at some point...that could be another project for you lol!

Hahaha. If their light bulb performance is any indication of what to expect from their bridge/hub, I'll probably not waste my time.

Hoping maybe someone has come across a brighter Hue compatible color bulb?
An 80w equivalent would be perfect. Needs to be appropriate for a table lamp.

Thanks,

There's a 1600 lumen A21 type Hue white bulb (no color changing ability). There may be other compatible bulbs too.

Thanks, but prefer the color bulbs.

Hi all
The problem that I have is not related to the plugin but maybe someone has an idea how to fix the following problem.
I have a Hue setup for many years including the plugin and have been using this plugin without any problem.
I have a TPlink Omada setup with several AP. This has been working without any problem.
Now I added a gateway to the omada (TL-R605) and this is where the problems start.
The Hue bridge has a static IP as needed for the plugin, but with a static IP the hue app only connects via the cloud. When I change the hue bridge to DHCP, the hue app connects locally.
The problem is when the bridge is with a fix IP, home kit does not work as it can not connect locally. The indigo plugin works normal without any problem with the fix IP.
The problem is with the TPlink gateway. I don not know if it is a setting that is not correct or if it is a problem with the gateway firmware.
So:

Hue bridge fix IP: Indigo plugin works well, Hue bridge connects via the cloud and homekit doesn’t work. (IP: 192.168.72.10)
Hue bridge DHCP: Not ideal for the indigo plugin, hue app connect locally and homekit works. (DHCP range 192.168.72.100/200)

Does anyone have a tip or idea what this could be?

Thanks alot.

Gilles

Just an idea if your gateway allows...

Can you reserve/fix the IP address for the Hue Hub at the gateway rather than at the Hue Hub?

BTW - that's how mine is setup albeit I use Unifi Network gear

I also thought of this but unfortunately the gateway does not have this function....
Thanks for replying.

Hi Nathan,

Just started getting this problem when I deleted some stock scenes from the Hue app and added some custom ones. Let me know if you need the entire log. I get this message every five or ten seconds when using the app.

Hi.

Thanks for the error report. Are you using the latest version of the plugin (1.7.51)? I ask because the line number referenced in that error output doesn't correspond to anything related to the "colorMode" variable. Line numbers of code very often change with each patch, so I can't debug that error unless the line number references line up with the plugin version I have.

If you're using 1.7.51, then I'll probably need the debug logs as well since I have no idea why that error would be reported at that specific line of code.

Sorry - I needed to update. Same error, but hopefully current line numbers!

Thank you. I’ll hunt down that line number and see what’s going on.

Okay. I think I found the reason for that error. However, it doesn't make much sense.

The line of code causing the error only gets executed if a light strip Hue device only supports color temperature (but not full color), and deleting a scene on the Hue bridge should not have modified any of the device definitions on the Hue bridge. Have you added a new light strip device lately?

In any case, it's definitely a bug and it'll be fixed in the next patch release.
