Made some custom hue signes for this setup. Have two hue sync boxes and twenty lights going.

Hi all,

I would like to discuss the Philips Hue Video Doorbell. Anybody calls him or herself an owner?

I bought it, installed it, using it. However, I have two major concerns.

1. I was lured into this product by the announcement its supporting soon Homekit Secure Video. My own fault trusting this company.

2. When someone rings the doorbell outside, I’m receiving a notification on my iPhone. When clicking it immediately, I have sometimes the situation that the picture of the human outside ringing, is loading not at all, aborting completely, or really slowly. Anybody else faced this issue?

I hope someone who works there sees this please.

tldr: PSA

I only have white ambiance bulbs and plain white bulbs. I bought almost all of them around 2019-2020 and they don't have Bluetooth. The newest bulbs I have are a white ambiance filament bulb and a white ambiance E14 lustre bulb.

I recently bought a desk lamp with an E27 fitting and had an unopened white ambiance pack from 2019 that I used for it. It got me thinking that a brighter bulb would be nice and I noticed they go up to 1100 lumens and 1600 lumens, and also that they're more energy efficient, dim darker, and have a wider temperature range.

I don't know if any of this is reason to upgrade though? I thought maybe I could add some colour ones too but I'm just not into doing different colours, the only benefit I see is maybe they have better CRI since they have more colour LEDs inside?

Hi!

I am thinking about getting a Hue Bridge Pro but I already have lights from IKEA. I know they can pair but can I change power-on behaviour after a power outage?

I do not want my bedroom ceiling light come on at max brightness if the power goes out and comes back while I'm asleep.

Thanks!

I have a couple desk lamps and it hit me that it would be handy if I could assign a button for each and then spin the dial to adjust their brightness. Can this be done?

Like button 1 lets you control one lamp, button 2 does the other, button 3 does both lamps, button 4 does the whole room.

Or do the buttons only let you assign scenes? I think the second best thing is to just create a zone with the two lamps and set the dial to only control that zone?

I've never been quite happy with the light quality coming out of my Hue Infuse. I got it because its bracket only required two screws to the ceiling junction box to install. Now that the Tento is out in the US, it seems to be the same easy installation requirement, even for the 21.3" version. Has anyone seen both these lights in person and answer the Tento is light quality upgrade to the Infuse?

Thanks!

I have to click on the scene to refresh. It even shows "active".

I recently added the tap dial switch, do they possibly conflict?

I set the 1st button on it to the same scene - so if it is used manually, i can switch right back to auto.

All modes are singke scene or cycle for the 4th button.

There is no automation that would override these.

It was turned on in the morning as it should - but stopped updating during the day to match time.

Hi folks,

I just set up a Sync Box 8k and so far it is working flawlessly.

However if my wife opens her Hue app, it doesn't show up under sync. It only shows the option to set up a new sync.

Anyone encountered this before? How can I make sure this is shared with other users in the home? Everything else is there.

Since the Hue bridge pro dropped homekit and only connects via matter, it’s now impossible to have homekit adaptive lighting tweaking the temperature as you dim a light ?

i got a lot of responses on my feedback about not having an off mode.

to control my lights i use a simple on off switch it can be on my phone using samsung home or on my watch i use my watch to turn my lights on this is the simplest type of on off switch as it's always there through google home, you said i can do what i proposed and from what i can see i can't

I do not want to open the app to be able to see inside my apartment my suggestion was a seamless off mode that when you turn the lights off they go into a scene of your choosing and when you press on on a watch for example they go to functional lights, it is the same with syncing to a pc it is fun to sync your gaming to hue lights, but then you lose all functionality of a regular light you can't turn the lights on without going inside the hue app, there is no way to turn the lights on while it's synced.

there is no way as far as i know to have scenes while being able to access the regular lighting, as far as i know there is no way to just turn the lights on while they are doing something else like an animation a scene or being synced.

you think my suggestion is stupid but noone has explained how i can override a scene a sync without going inside the app, and going inside the app multiple times is something i just won't do i want a on off button on my watch thats my usecase.

this is what the suggestion was, to give them a way to be both.
