Mine didn't show up at first, either.
I poked around of a few of the Settings pages and looked again and it had showed up.
It might have been a coincidence, but the last one I visited was the "Check for Updates" view, just to make sure I was really running .152.
Not only did I do that, but I also rebooted my computer and it still isn't there (about 4:20 pm and I installed .152 at about 11:30 a.m. today).
hi
i made a childapp thingy named with the animation app, now it shows in the list but there is no device adde... searched all of them and tried 'test' and 'conn' to find 'connector'... nothing.
If I hit the shild app I get a error pointing to the logs... where i find this...
running a C5... made the animation hours before i tried looking for it... rebooted the hub... nothing.
then i deleted the color animation main app, reboot... reinstall animation app... reboot... again create 'test' child app... nothing... reboot... nothing...
Meaning by 'nothing' that the same error/message was showing... no new device.
tried philips hue collor bulb as wel with a non philips hue ledstrip (rgb)...
what did i do wrong or could i do to fix it?
Probably nothing you can do if waiting or a hub reboot didn't fix it (unless maybe a downgrade and re-upgrade helps? grasping at straws at this point). Tagging @support_team so they are aware.
There's another post now where someone is missing one of the new drivers, so something must be off with .152 with respect to missing stuff (I'm still missing this Animations app too).
Yup. It's now the next day about 8:40 a.m. and I installed .152 at about 11:30 a.m. and it is still not there.
I stared at this long n hard and figured out what I needed - working brilliantly!
LIFX bulbs don't like to "fade" much so the transitions are abrupt but the overall goal was achieved.
That's really odd because I installed .152, read the notes, clicked into apps, didn't see Animations, clicked back out, clicked back in about two minutes later and it was there.
I'm also missing the Colour Animation Activator device. The app itself showed up after a delay once I'd updated,
C-7 hub.

Have you created a color animation using the app? The connector device is created when the animation is saved.
Just to be sure, the app name is "Color animation" and I get to it by clicking on Add Built-In App on the Apps page.
Assuming that is so, that is super weird as it is still not there
Started trying the app with random colors but really doesn't work well that way as most of the colors are just washed out on my gardenspots.
That is why i hardcoded like 15 colors that looked good and added like 4 custom on my gardenhue app and it.lets you random between them.
I'd suggest using a high (at or near 100), non-random value for saturation, or small degree of randomness that would still keep it pretty close. If you go fully random, you're likely to get low saturation values lots of the time, which will look closer to white (so washed out if you're expecting colors).
Of course, that's ignoring any bulb-specific oddities, like if they just don't do certain hues well. "Hard-coding" what you know to work well is certainly fine too!
I installed the build in 'color animation' app...
Created a 'child instance' or rule if you may call it.
What i have seen online i should get a new device called like i named it in my case 'testing' or connector but that doesn't happen.
When I click the gear icon from 'testing' in the app list I get some error.
don't know what to do or how to fix it???
Running a C5 and tried philips hue color bulbs as well with a color ledstrip, not from philips hue.
Can you reboot the hub and see if that fixes it? My hunch is that the activator device type (new driver) isn't loaded for some reason.
Also, I can take a look at the engineering logs if you PM me the hub id.
Really? I use holiday lighting and they fade beautifully
What do you have them set to for the fade time?
On Holiday lighting? Whatever the default is
Download the Hubitat app
