No color option for Hue bulbs


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I just purchased a couple of Hue color bulbs, but I have no color option in WebCore. When I select the bulb as the physical device and choose the action, there is no option for color.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
An option to change color to be available.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Same as above, no color option.

I would first check to see if you are using the right Device Handler…

To check your current:

  • Log into SmartThings IDE
  • Click “My Devices” up top
  • Scroll thru the list, and take note of the “Type” for your Hue color bulbs…

(My colored Hues are using “LAN Hue Extended Color” as the Device Handler)


If you need to change the “Type”, you can click on the name of the bulb, and then “Edit” from the bottom of the next page.

Once everything is saved, wait a minute or two, and then hard refresh your webCoRE Dashboard (Ctrl-F5). Afterwards, your piston programming should give you more options.
