Thanks. I had no idea about this problem with zigbee LL. I will take it into consideration from now on.
Mine had to be switched on in order to reach the color flashes from hitting config….
Odd...given the bulbs have power either way (assuming they have been turned off via Hubitat and not via a switch on the lamp or something), kinda makes no sense the behavior would not be consistent...something above my pay grade.
It is consistent - regardless of having the HE scan initiated or not, when pulling out the plastic battery isolation strip, the device LED shows pairing mode but the HE only sees it but never moves past ‘initializing’.
Starting the scan on the HE a second time and resetting the sensor - boom, paired right up.
I'm confused, these drivers are designed to work with zigbee bulbs that are not controlled by a wall switch, ie left on as they should be all the time.
I'm not aware of any bulb that runs off of a battery.
