I just wanted a thread I could go back on and for others to have also. Firstly, can we edit / update the wiki ? I feel like there are some edits that need to be made RE the ikea bulbs being supported, but not the ikea hub (so the ikea bulbs do require hardware / hue bridge) but thats no listed in…

When we're away, many of our automations aren't used or simply ignore mode altogether and still work as usual.

you make a good point there. Will try with MM then.

Right, so I have MM change day, evening, night. MM is also set for presence fales = set to away then MM is set for presence FALSE to set the mode to away THEN use time settings for return. Then in RM - I have it set when the mode becomes away, to arm HSM, but what I got stuck on was to disarm. Bu…

I am finding this today worked really well. Set the modes correctly, changed them based on presence/away and then defaulted back to the right mode and disarmed HSM. I don't have anything hooked up yet for sensors/lighting - just building the bare bones right and then adding the rest ontop as I go. […

so my idea of using the Hue bridge and the Ikea bulbs might be scratched. [image] IKEA Trådfri Outlet 🛎️ Get Help On the Hubitat side, I'd say that's probably accurate. However, if you have Hue, the bulbs do pair to that network fine (again wouldn't use them directly on H…

Not necessarily. The color bulbs are known to be bad budget bulbs, and aren't recommended anyway. Read Mike Maxwell's response in that thread, they skimped on the implementation apparently and that's why they're not great. If he's cycling scenes, then he's likely using the Hue app and not an auto…

thats true @gbrown , I was thinking the lights I use for the HE modes can be Ikea as they are timed and I wont notice, and the ones I want to use for motion I might use a Hue bulb. But I really want the colour profile of the white colour change to be the blue white, not the yellow/orange white. Tha…

It’s possible, but a bit more complicated than you might hope. If you use Google Assistant Relay, you can change the color of TRÅDFRI full spectrum bulbs attached to Hue by calling out the specific color name.

@SmartHomePrimer - I have alexa, can she do it also ? what the heck name would the specific colour be? where do you find the names ? lol
