This is why we much prefer Homekit, the Huge app is just difficult to use. And, deleting scenes is so cumbersome, you have to select the scene first (which activates it) if you want to delete it, and there is no way to delete scenes en masse.
#HUE OUT OF HOME CONTROL HOW TO#
Definitely have more control, but it’s hard to figure out how to work. Updates to your Hue bulbs and Hue bridge, since the updates are initially sent over the internet.
The new app is better than the old one for sure–I’ve been using Hue bulbs for 7 years now–but it isn’t intuitive at all. Create a file called hueremote.py with the following code: Place this file in the folder “Floor Lamp” or “Dining Room Chandelier”. The only way I’ve been able to figure out is to create a zone, but that’s overkill b/c I want to be able to refer to one entire lamp (that has 6 hue candle bulbs in it) as one logical lamp, e.g. Put the dimmer directly on or pretty near the light and press and hold the reset / link button of the dimmer. The light should turn on and is still displayed in the Hue app. I use homekit, so I’m able to do it there, however, I would like to be able to do this in the Hue app as well. Go with your IKEA Dimmer to the light you want to control which is already connected to the Hue bridge (step 1 + 2). You can use a Hue dimmer without a bridge to reset bulbs.
How can you group bulbs together that are of the type Hue White Candle? These don’t have a color wheel, and we use them in chandeliers, floor lamps, etc. When you connect the Niko switch with a Hue Bridge you can control scenes in Home assistant using the Hue sensor custom component mentioned above.
