#Hue go without bridge Bluetooth
(Philips Hue has made a few concessions it now offers Bluetooth controls for those who don’t buy a hub, for example. Guess the inteference was causing the problem? Suck because it basically cost another $40.Smart homes have changed a lot in the last decade, but Philips Hue sticks to its tried-and-true system-premium smart lighting products that communicate over a dedicated Zigbee hub. Will continue trouble shooting.Įdit 3: Got a Philips Hue Bridge Gen 2, and everything works perfect. As soon as I had the other two(same model, Philips Hue Bluetooth) suddenly my Google Nest Hub does not turn on and off either lights. Beginning trouble shooting.Įdit 2: Reset the whole system of bulbs. None of them respond and google is obviously very confused. Should be able to dim, brighten, turn on/off with voice.Įdit: worked perfectly with 2 bulbs, today I tried to add 2 more and everything broke. It looks for devices, it should find your Philip's Hue lightbulbs now.
#Hue go without bridge plus
Set up Google Nest Hub(any Google smart home devices probably works)Ĭlicked the "+" plus sign in the top left to add a new device.Ĭlicked "Set up new device" then clicked "Set up new devices in your home" Gave you a reddit reward for saving me money not getting a Hue Bridge.
#Hue go without bridge update
Open google home app and set up bulb through that as instructed (fingers crossed it works for you guys) Then you can go set up the bulb with the Philips hue app so that you can update the firmware when needed. Until the next firmware update at least.įactory reset your Google device Factory reset your Philips hue bulb using the Philips hue bt app BUT DO NOT SET IT UP WITH THE PHILIPS HUE BT APP. Went through the steps and set it up with google and then set it up in the Philips hue app and again it is fully functional.
Went and opened my google home app and sure enough the little bar was back at the top saying I had a smart bulb to set up. After lots of pissed off googling and factory resetting both my Google nest mini and Philips hue bulb I could not get my google app to find the damn light bulb.įinally I factory reset the bulb and instead of setting it up in my Philips hue app like I had been doing I just closed the app after factory resetting it. I still had it paired but when I asked it to turn it on or off via voice or the app nothing. I read up and found that when the light bulbs need a firmware update Google won't be able to control them so I went to my philips hue app and checked on my light bulb and sure enough it needed an update so I did that update and then Google couldn't control it. This morning when I told google to turn my living room lamp on nothing. I could control the bulb with both my Google Nest mini, google home app and the Philips hue bt app. Then I read a little further about the Philip's Hue BT app so I downloaded that connected the bulb to that app and it was easy going again. I renamed it lamp added it to my living room and I was on my way. I clicked this went through the steps and easy as they say the bulb connected.
I pulled up my google home app and immediately there was a little notification at the top to set up new smart bulb. Yesterday when I got my Philips hue Bt bulb I screwed it into the lamp in the same room as my google nest mini. I just had the exact same issue and this is what happened to me and how I fixed it.
