Hue Light Type Not Supported?

🛎️ Get Help
1

I am trying to add a CT light that I added to my Hue Bridge and I am getting the following error:

Device type Color dimmable light not supported.

I assumed that all Hue lights were supported by the Hue integration. This one isn't?

2

I'm curious which light is it?

3

I'm pairing my Sylvania Edge-Lit undercabinet light but I'm pairing it to my DIYHue hub (Raspberry Pi with a ConBee module). So, it's all together possible that it isn't a valid light type at all. I was able to force it to be recognized as a Color light instead and it synced to Hubitat.

A ok, so your assumptions where right after all. :speak_no_evil:

But aside, the jokes, I don't know what you can do with the diyhue, but can't you map the light somehow to a hue/saturation type? Or a rgbw type? Or any suitable type? Before exposing it to HE?

EDIT: sorry reading is difficult, I must the part where you already had it synced with HE changing the type. So to be on the same page, with the hueBridgeBulbCT driver it isn't working?

Actually I have it working with the hue Bridge RGBW Bulb driver in CT mode presently. It's working fine...but I am curious as to why that light type did not pair with HE. Why does Color dimmable light not work? It's a valid hue light type.

That is weird indeed. You wouldn't happen to have a hue ct bulb to test what happens with that? Or an genuine hue bridge and place that between the HE and the edgelite?

7

No on both counts. Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about. I can understand the fact that you, like me, have a limit to what you have at your disposal.

Maybe there is somebody who can confirm either cases, or even a genuine hue bridge with a genuine ct bulb for that matter?

Or someone from staff can confirm what light types are supported....which is why i posted. :slight_smile:

currently integrated hue bulb types are :
Dimmable Light
Extended Light
Color Light
and
Color Temperature Light
