AVMD76 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I have a bridge philips hue. It is well recognized by the driver. The driver finds my 4 lamps. But I can not configure them. I enter the address but after 5s he passed nothing. An idea? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Leeds UK Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Change the names of your lamps in the Phillip Hue app - you have them all called he same. Do not worry if it does not pull the name into Driver - Some of ours do not do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVMD76 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 it's good I can order the lights. By cons I have no return status. If I turn on the light in the Hue application, the state does not change in the C4 application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downside: have to wait at least 30s for updates and it can bog down your hue bridge with requests especially if you have a lot of hue lights. 2. What I did was turn off polling and tie hue updates to motion sensor events with a macro. That way the hue updates quite well as long as someone is in the house triggering motion sensors.

Yes, there is an issue how the Hue Bridge was designed, it does not allow external triggers, thus only pooling is a way to get the data out of the Hue System ... which takes quite some time since the Bridges are not having big CPUs.
