So my Hue Bridge was tweaking out, couldn't factory reset it. Currently trying to add my Hue bulbs directly into Hubitat with no Hue bridge. Every time I reset a bulb and add it to hubitat, it adds it in no problem, but then the light icon has a question mark and is not able to be control. I also can't sync it to the Amazon echo Skill to be added into my Alexa.
Any thoughts on what I can do?
I'm going to guess they paired with the wrong driver, probably the default "Device" driver which means no matching device was found.
Try changing the driver to "Generic Zigbee RGBW Bulb" using the instructions here:
Be sure to run "Configure" (as documented there, too) when you are done.
Does that change anything for you?
That being said, not all Zigbee bulbs work well on a Zigbee mesh network, and at least older Hue bulbs seem to be paticular uncooperative. That won't normally cause this particular problem, but if you already have other Zigbee devices on this network, it could down the road. See the notes on bulbs: How to Build a Solid Zigbee Mesh | Hubitat Documentation
There is also this driver:
This fixed it! thank you!
