New Advanced Zigbee Drivers are not working properly

I have countless Dimmable CCT lamps and ZigBee RGBWW lamps,
As soon as I saw these new drivers I updated all devices to the news drivers, but they are not working properly
I'm having problems like not working the on / off command in RGBW; difficulty to dimming properly in the CT and Bulb, even when I turn the device off, it stays on with 5%

As I am having these problems I returned the RGBW devices to the driver Generic ZigBee RGBW Light, and the Dimmable CCT lamps and LEDs to the driver Generic Zigbee CT Bulb.
But I was wondering if you intend to continue improving these drivers, I saw many new functions that I was interested in.

  • Advanced Zigbee Bulb (Replaces Generic Zigbee Bulb)
    • Aurora Smart dimmable GLS Lamp
    • Aurora Zigbee vintage GLS Lamp
    • Aurora Zigbee vintage ST64 Lamp
    • Aurora Zigbee vintage G125 Lamp
    • Linkind dimmable white
  • Advanced Zigbee CT Bulb (Replaces Generic Zigbee CT Bulb (dev))
    • Aurora smart tunable GLS
    • Aurora smart tunable GU10
    • Linkind tunable white
  • Advanced Zigbee RGB Bulb (replaces Generic ZigBee RGB Light)
  • Advanced Zigbee RGBW Bulb (replaces Generic ZigBee RGBW Light)
    • Osram Classic E27 Multicolor
    • Aurora RGBW GLS
    • Aurora RGBW A19
    • Philips Hue White and color ambiance

Did you hit “configure” after changing the driver. I haven’t had any problems with the driver, but I have had problems with groups with this driver.

3

I had to select 1s in the advanced driveres Preferences, Level transition time to get mine to work properly.

4

Yes, I did it, but it still didn't work properly. In the advanced preferences I set everything to ASAP

What bulbs are you attempting to use with these drivers?

I am facing the same problem on my recessed ceiling rgbw light:


On/off, set color and dimming not working with this new driver.

I'm not surprised the drivers don't work properly with those devices.

The drivers were tested with Osram, Sylvania, Hue, Ge, Linkind, Aurora AOne and Audurosmart bulbs.

They are not going to work with all controllers/bulbs.

Are these using XY for colour by chance. What does your states say on the driver page. It should show your settings of the device.

10

I’m on Sylvania (Ledvance) Smart+ RGBW zigbee bulbs and it doesn’t work with them... Had to switch back to the generic drivers to get them functioning again.

11

Mine do, what did you do exactly when you changed to the driver?

12

So do mine. I switched about 50 to the new driver.

I'm also having issues controlling the Aurora RGBW GU10 with the new driver, I did notice the driver didn't state for RGBW but thought it would be ok?

14

So these have not been tested with Sengled bulbs then.

15

Again mine work find.

please ensure you select the correct driver. IE if RGB then RGB if CT then CT and if both then RGBW. once saved fill in your preferences then save them.

Then open the logs in another tab and hit configure on the driver. You will see the lamp go crazy and do a load of tests. once it goes blue its completed. Then refresh the driver page you will see a load of state information has now been filled in.

I (and several others) have reported using these successfully w/Sengled bulbs, color and white-only. They actually work better for me than the Sengled driver, bulb reacts faster and is more reliable.

Cheers @BorrisTheCat i had found that just before your post..... Good news is that they work, bad news is that i'm still not happy with them they just dont match the colour temperature and the colour rendering is way off a 4000k equivalent static colour Aurora GU10(that they are next to) - considering its marketed as an RGBW and CT lamp i didnt expect to be able to see the RGB Chips lit up
