r/Hue

Due to the huge size of Philips Hue bulbs, I can't fit them into 3 of my fixtures. I had to buy smaller size IKEA Kajplats instead. I managed to connect them all within my Hue network, and the scenes or color management works excellent, but the only thing that doesn't work is the ON/OFF switch in the app. Meaning I can't turn the lights off both in the app or through the Philips Hue dimmer switch.

Is there a workaround around this? I connected all the bulbs through the switch off and on 12 times Zigbee mode pairing.

Just bought the 8K Hue Sync Box connected to my TV (as my 3rd screen) and I've been having some intermittent issues with it. The TV will occasionally go completely black if I start trying to play Netflix. Sometimes it fixes itself when I restart the Hue Sync Box but often, it persists through a Synx Box restart.

I do some streaming as well and when I'm in-game (Hunt: Showdown), it will also occasionally go black when I tab back IN from my game. When the game is running, it's fine. It's only when I Alt-Tab back into my desktop that it causes issues (and I don't even play Hunt on the same screen that I have the Hue Sync Box hooked up to.

I'm at a loss as to what to do. I like the functionality it adds but I game way more than I watch movies/shows on the TV as my 3rd monitor so if I had to choose . . .

I love my hue lighting. I mostly have hue essential because they're a lot cheaper and very similar to the non-essential bulbs, but they don't make any e14 hue essential bulbs; does anyone know any alternatives or release dates for e14 hue bulbs?

Any help is appreciated.

I installed it with a 6cm gap between the outermost edge of the strip and the edge of the TV, but the bottom corners come up short, should I readjust? I will post images below

Hello. I recently got two 33ft strands for my bedroom, and finished setting them up with diffusers today. I have a mini split AC unit in my room, and the ducting along the wall is where I chose to have the two strands end. I cut them at the nearest solder/cut point, but there is still several inches from both ends of the strand hanging out of the diffuser. I’ve currently wrapped them around the ducting, but if there is no harm in cutting the strands further up, I’d rather do that for nicer aesthetics.

Thanks!

I have my garden lights set up so they turn on 1h after sundown and turn off 1h before sunrise. I've set them to 50% brightness and went in the settings of every lamp and set it so it turns on with the same brightness it was turned off at.
Every night they go on at 100% brightness. Seems that setting only works if you turn them on manually and not with the automation.

This is something so basic there must be a way.

Is the Hue Gradient Signe too expensive for you? No problem! The new Hue Play floor lamp and Hue Play table lamp will be released in June. €80 for the 60cm table lamp and €150 for the 135cm floor lamp. Both with gradient technology.

So many 3rd party hue apps have ridiculous subscriptions or paid "upgrades" that often times give you features you could get for free in the official hue app or in a free app, such as hue music sync, which is often times paid but is offered for free in some others(I won't give examples because advertising rule). I would really like to hear an actual reason for why this is true for most of these apps.

Asked this from Hue support also, but they could not provide an answer… They also informed that clips are not sold separately by them.

The reason for this question is that I am planning on 3D printing ”longer” attachment clips, and for the older outdoor lightstrip I can find ready drawings online, but can’t find for the newer Neon lightstrip.

We NEED a hue native mmwave motion sensor.

It will confirm that hue is the best smart light system put there with that tool.
