Got my HE today. I've been messing with smarthome stuff since early X10. I've dealt with Wink, Kasa, Sensi sucessfully. But, I'll be darned if I can get the HE to recognize I have ANY devices on my network! I have Cree bulbs, Jasco GE dimmers/switches, an outlet (I think it's by TP-linik), and a…

No. Setting > Z-Wave details and Setting > Zigbee details

After poking around, I got it to recognize 2 devices -- TP-Link mini plugs. They were using the extender to connect. I'm going to try and unplug the extender and see what happens.

Those are WiFi devices. Unless there are some Z-Wave or Zigbee TP-Link plugs I'm unaware of. Those would not use the discovery process that Z-Wave and Zigbee use and there is no integrated driver for them, so the discovery process definitely would not include them. Not to mention, that Discovery is …

So I would have to use Alexa to control the bulbs, then?

No. You can, but that's another question entirely. Let's start at a baseline. You say you have Cree bulbs. You want to control them with Hubitat. They need to be reset (a pain to get right) and pair them with Hubitat. CREE Connected Bulbs Factory Reset: Note, Cree's official instructions are in…

I've got all the TP-Link stuff added thanks to Dave. Now I'm working on the smart bulbs. Once I have achieved that, I will move on the the Jasco/GE smart dimmer switches. I'll keep y'all informed of my progress. This is exactly the train wreck I hoped to avoid when dropping the wonky Wink. Hope…

[image] gjtoth: As it stands, unless I absolutely have to have the HE for the GE switches, I don't see the need for it. I must admit to being confused by your statements. No offense intended. You must exclude Z-Wave devices from the Wink hub before they can be joined to the Hubitat Hub. Afte…

If you think Wink was a train wreck, I hope you don't have any of the older GE switches that don't report their status back to the hub. If so, hopefully none of your automations depend on the on/off status of the switch if you plan on manipulating it physically, or hopefully you're prepared to confi…

I think I confused you. I meant I NEED the switches. But, If I can handle them with Alexa or some other software, I fail to see the need for HE. As it stands right now, HE is not picking up on the switches AND, except through the TP-Link app, it appears I have no control over them except through …

Welp... I'm dead in the water!
