Hue lights#
Most of the lights and lamps from Philips Hue should be handled in a generic way by the nymea-plugin-zigbee-generic-lights plugin. There are 2 methods for bringing a Hue light / bulb into the nymea ZigBee network.
Use a Hue dimmer switch (most reliable):
* Open the ZigBee network in nymea for allowing new devices to join the network.
* Switch the lamp off for a few seconds by cutting the power and turn it back on again.
* On the Hue dimmer switch, press and hold the `On` and the `Off` keys (on newer models the `Hue` and the `Power` key) simultaneously.
* Hold the switch as close as possible to the lamp while keep pressing both buttons.
* Keep holding and pressing the buttons until the lamp has blinked 3 times and fades back to the normal mode.
* Now release the buttons on the remote, the lamp should be resetted and start joining the nymea ZigBee network.
Remove the lamp from an existing Hue Bridge setup:
* Open the ZigBee network in nymea for allowing new devices to join the network.
* Remove the lamp from the Hue Bridge using the official Hue App or nymea.
* The lamp should now be resetted and start joining the nymea ZigBee network.
Reset the lamp by power cutting several times:
* Open the ZigBee network in nymea for allowing new devices to join the network.
* Cut the lamps power supply for a second and then turn it back on. (Either wia a wall switch that cuts the circuit or by unscrewing the bulb)
* Repeat the previous step seven times.
* The lamp should now be resetted and start joinging the nymea ZigBee network.
Requirements#
A compatible ZigBee controller and a running ZigBee network in nymea. You can find more information about supported controllers and ZigBee network configurations here.
