I bought a " ERIA Smart Light Bulbs, A19 ZigBee, Tunable White Extra Bright 1100 Lumens". It paired easily with Hubitat, but when I go to "Devices" and bring it up, there is no "On" or "Off" to select.
I'm seeing things about "Child Devices, States, Parameter Value...".
What am I missing here? I just want to turn it on and off.
What driver are you using? You probably want something like "Generic CT Light," and I'm guessing the problem is yours paired with the sort-of do-nothing default "Device" driver since nothing matched. See:
If you can, feel free to also share the "fingerprint" entry you'll probably still find in Past Logs, or run the "Get Info" command on the "Device" driver before you switch to see it printed out to live Logs. Then, this can be added to the driver so future users -- or future you if you add another such device -- can avoid this problem.
I'd recommend the "CT" and not plain "Bulb" version of this driver, as that will get you access to color temperature (shades of white or "tuneable white," assuming this is what the manufacturer means by that -- in which case your device should work with these commands you won't have with the other driver). But glad that worked!
I provided my suggestion, though a couple others probably would work, too:
(might be "Bulb" instead of "Light"; going from memory here...)
Glad you got it sorted. I'll share my experience. My single Eria bulb has been mostly reliable. I'd say 2 -3 times per month, I need to cut power to the bulb to get it to start functioning again. Based on that I won't be buying anymore of their bulbs. Although my Eria bulb is the older version, so maybe the new ones you purchased are Zigbee 3.0, I don't know.
I have an incredibly strong Zigbee mesh, 25 repeaters and over 100 devices, so that's not the issue.
And welcome to the community.
I missed finding it when I first looked. I later found it under "Generic Zigbee CT Bulb (Dev)". It does provide more options.
My question on drivers was intended to be more general. When you need a driver for anything, how do you know where to look and what you are looking for?
You always need a driver for a device; how the platform works is that it assigns one to a device, and that determines what commands (like "Set Color" or "Off"), attributes (current states, like "switch: on" or "colorTemperature: 4000"), and preferences you see for the device. If nothing matches, the default driver called "Device" will be assigned. As you saw, that won't do much.
Normally, you don't have to worry about this, as many devices have already been tested or are a close enough match to existing devices or drivers that a good driver will be assigned automatically. In the rare case it isn't, the "Generic Matter...," "Generic Z-Wave...", or "Generic Zigbee..." drivers are normally a good choice, assuming your device is one of these three protocols. The rest of the driver name should help you match things up.
Since yours is a Zigbee bulb that is color-temperature (CT) capable, I suggested "Generic Zigbee CT Bulb." The "dev" thing at the end of this name can be ignored -- it escaped from testing like that might not be able to be changed (but it was an accident). If you had a color and CT capable bulb, I'd have suggested the RGBW driver, to name two possibilities.
