1) Give a description of the problem
I am trying to use a piston to change the color of Ikea RGB bulbs that are connected through the Hue bridge -> ST integration
2) What is the expected behaviour?
Simply change color
3) What is happening/not happening?
No color input (hue, color) works. Level works
Help! i cant seem to change the color. The lights are connected to the Hue Bridge, not the ST bridge i have at home. Nothing seems to work
Generally speaking, a device can have only one master it reports to.
If you connect a bulb to the Hue hub, then it may have difficulty interpreting certain commands from webCoRE/SmartThings.
That being said, I would try this test piston:
To try this out, just import it, point it to one bulb, Save, and then press Test.
(the complete test lasts 15 seconds)
If the command on line 21 fails, then maybe line 23 (green) will succeed.
If that also fails, then perhaps line 25 will work.
Part of the process I follow when encountering new or unfamiliar devices, is to test to see which commands works, and which ones don’t. It is rare to have 100% of all available commands work perfectly on a particular device. (since ST is coded to be compatible with many different devices)
If the entire test fails, there are a half dozen other color related commands that may (or may not) work… Otherwise, I would consider pairing the bulbs up with the ST hub, instead of the Hue hub.
(or change the Device Handler)
I tried your commands. nothing fails, it just doesnt change the color (level works as always).
it feels like the hue bridge needs a different command to change the color of the bulb.
i´ve paired it with the Hue Bridge because color picking in that system works better then the ST one, colors are more vibrant when chosen in either Hue or Google Home even compared to the color picker in ST. I was hoping to keep it but if i cant figure out the color changing command ill have to change back.
thx for the suggestions.
