Hue integration Question

I use hue for dynamic scenes and every time I run them, hubitat eventually comes to a crawl. I assume it’s because of the number of updates being sent to hubitat from hue.

Is there any way to turn off all updates to hue devices in hubitat? All I really want to do is have hubitat trigger scenes, I don’t need bulb states to be synced.

That sounds like a question for @bertabcd1234 or @gopher.ny. Perhaps someone can move this to the native Hue integration thread.

Does sound like you want something like the original integration without the regular updates that offers the benefits for sensors and other devices update benefits.

I'm not sure personally how best to configure that kind of setup.

You could try the "Disconnect Event Stream" command on the Bridge device, which will disconnect the event stream socket, which is where the instant status updates are coming from. Those are probably the ones responsible for what you see, assuming that is the root of any problem at all (not saying it is or isn't). You'd have to disable polling in addition to this to get rid of all updates, but I can't imagine you really want to do that or that it would contribute as much to this situation as the former if either is to start.

I want to say there's some sort of watchdog-type thing that will reconnect this, otherwise the "Connect..." command will do so manually -- but I can't find anything quite like this in the code, and it's been a while since I've looked, so I don't remember off the top of my head. But if anything stands a chance, it would be this.
