I have a Hue v2 setup around my house, had it for years now and its great. But Iām renovating my bedroom at the moment and installing led strips along the roof. Iāve done this successfully in the past in my kitchen with Hue strips and controllers.
But this time Iāve bought 3 x 240-12v 90w led drivers, 3 x giderwell/gledopto zigbee controllers and 3 giderwell 12v 5m led strips. Iāve set it all up loosely to test and it works okā¦butā¦after a few days, I go to turn on the bedroom lights and only the two hue bulbs come on. The three strips on the giderwell controllers are all unreachable. The green lights on the controllers are all on, and they have a permanent supply. I have to switch off the power to them at the switched fused spur and turn it back on to get them to work again.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and why its happening to all 3 sets simultaneously? I donāt want to have to reset them every other day?
Are these controllers paired to Hubitat or Hue? Asking becsuse I'm not sure if people have noted the notorious "smart bulb problem" for controllers too. I don't think so, but if so and they're on Hubitat (and you have other kinds of Zigbee devices like smart plugs, motion sensors, etc.), it could be the reason. Not sure if they're on Hue but can say that I have a couple that I think are the same but were branded Gledopto at the time of purchase (no branding on the device itself) that work OK for me on a Hue Bridge network, aside from. The fact that they are a bit slower to respond to commands than most Hue devices.
Not sure if it's relevant, but are they the 1 id or 2 id controllers? I have some of the 2 id controllers and they work fine directly connected to the Hue hub. There's been quite some debate as to whether the 2 id controllers can be connected successfully to Hubitat (there are some posts that suggest it's possible but I have not managed it).
