Got a bunch of Osram LIGHTIFY Gardenspot Mini W and I would be interested if anyone has any idea if I can connect any other LED lights to the controller. Or maybe to add other LED lights as an extension to the 9-leds starter kit. Any recommendation for cheaper waterproof lights which are compatible?

The socket looks like this

I'm trying to log into my lightify app for North America but it wouldn't allow me to do so. When I try to reset my password using the link and the code it sends to my email it just says "oops, something went wrong!". I've been trying for several weeks and the same thing happens every single time. Does anyone know any reason for this happening? Any solution to this issue? Thanks for your help.

I can not get my lightify 15" edge-lit to connect to my smarthing hub. It will find it but will not connect fully so I can control it

???

bug fixes

I have a mostly hue system with 4 Osram bulbs, and one particular bulb is constantly turning itself on. This particular bulb was originally one of the furthermost bulbs in my network but I moved it closer to fill a potential gap in my mesh. It was turning itself on in both locations.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do with this bulb?

In the UK we use B22 light bulbs mostly with a few GU10 light bulbs in toilets and kitchens. E27 is simply not available in any normal standard and buying from abroad risks safety standards being breached on parts and therefore invalidating insurance.

Wemo are not Alexa compatible but are API accessible (eg node-red, IFTTT, Nest etc). Available in B22 only. Lightify are Alexa and API compatible. Available in E27 and GU10.

I have had Wemo in my house for several years working fine from the app, Alexa (using IFTTT) and from my automation server (Node-red). Reading that Lightify was now compatible with Wemo I bought Lightify GU10s for my kitchen (only a few as I cannot afford to do them all at once). It would seem the compatibility is a lie and only the most basic of bulbs is compatible in actuality. I am using the Wemo link to "control" the Lightify GU10s as well as Wemo bulbs. Now as they are both ZigBee protocol and bulbs are now compatible with Wemo does that mean the converse (Wemo being compatible with Lightify) is also true? Ie could I get an Osram Lightify Gateway and use it to control my Wemo bulbs?

So, I just got a Google Home. I setup the Osram Lightify connection to Google Home, and I can manually turn the lights On/Off via the Google Home app... but all voice commands fail either with a reply that lights aren't linked, or it doesn't know how to do that.

Any ideas? Why would manually turning on/off lights from the Google Home app work, but voice commamds say that lights aren't configured?

Thought I'd throw this up. Hue bridge v2 and Lightify bulbs worked together while back but Osram issues an update which broke this on the bulb. Phillips have updated now and it's back.

Lightify is a great system but the integrations are not as good as Hue. Want to alert yourself with flashing lights when fire is detected? Hue has your back

Bug fixes

So,

Have noticed a issue where my home and pro hubs are begging to fail,

Both now not available, so starting to look at migrating; no small task a over 100 bulbs, plus I have to work out how to replace switches.

Went back to testing with a TRÅDFRI and a Hue bridges, but I’m struggling.

Can’t get any firmware 0510 bulbs to connect to the TRÅDFRI bridge.

On the Hue v 2 bridge the TW bulbs will connect, .but the 0510 RGBW ones won’t..

The 0412 RGBW firmware bulbs will connect o Hue, however, and I’ve not checked TRÅDFRI.

My 0512 RGBE bulbs used to connect, so anyone know what happened?

Kind regards

Andy

Ok so Echos are not yet available in Switzerland. I have an Amazon.com account so the only Alexa skill I can Enable is for North America. This does not support a European Lightify Login or Gateway....... Is there a way to fake the Login URL ? If I buy a new Lightify Gateway ( US Version ) and have it shipped to Switzerland , will that Gateway work with all my European Bulbs / Switches / Plugs / Sensors ? Any help Gratefully received..

I need just the splitter SYLVANIA SMART+ Indoor Flexible Lightstrip Connector Kit for Bluetooth and ZigBee SMART+ Indoor Full Color Flex Strips $24.36 smile.amazon.com/dp/B0142T2HW8/

Hi I am trying to get some EU purchased Osram Lightly PAR 16 GU10 bulbs to work with a v1 Philips Hue hub - no luck so far and I am completely new to the Lightly world (and have no Lightly hub). I have a few questions and would welcome any input on what else I could be trying:

1. The Hue hub will not recognise the Lightify bulbs - is there a way to find the serial number of each bulb to try to manually pair them? This information is not printed on the bulb itself.

2. I have tried resetting the bulbs by turning on for 5 seconds, off for 5 seconds, and repeating 5 times - but I saw no blink to indicate a reset. Any suggestions?

3. I also tried to touch link it but can't get the hub close enough to talk, will try to find an adapter online :(
   Thanks in advance!

I picked up a used gateway and Colour E27 bulb.

Before I attach anything to my Hue Bridge I want to make sure the bulb has the latest firmware, the only way to do that is the Lightify Gateway.

So...

Fire up the app....

Create a new account and verify it.

Plug in the gateway and wait for the orange light to steady down a bit.

Scan QR code using app.

Gateway already plugged in so hit the white reset switch to clear any old settings and wait 60 seconds for gateway to stabilise.

Get told the GW password for the AP, copy it and connect my tablet wifi to that AP using password given.

Gateway scans local wifi and picks up my home network and after selecting it asks me to enter password which I do.

Gateway flashed orange for a while then goes green.

Tablet tells me it's auto connected back to my home wifi network.

As the Gateway is now green and the LIGHTIFY AP in no longer visible I'm assuming that the gateway is talking to the upstream servers.

On the app try to set timezone....'Device doesn't exist'

On the app try to add a bulb.....'Gateway is offline, connect to LIGHTIFY AP to correct'

On the app try to add a group....'Gateway is offline, connect to LIGHTIFY AP to correct'

I've now gone round this loop about a dozen times, have tried it using a spare phone with an Android tether AP as well without success.

Gateway stays green, but app doesn't seem to be able to talk to it (I'm assuming via the upstream servers?)

Ideas?

I'm thinking about getting OSRAM Lightify and I wanted to know what settings came with something such as the Flex tape like strobe lighting where the colors switch really fast or smooth lighting where the colors switch more smoothly and etc. if anyone could help me thanks!

I came from Switzerland so I have bought before a month 6 Lightify European Bulbs and connected and paired them with the TI2531 USB Dongle and my Raspberry Pi 2 over node.js sucessfully.

Now I've bought again two lightify Bulbs from an other suplier. Also in Europe. But I'am not able to pair or connect them like the others?

Did Osram update the firmware? Or why they don't recognized by the TI2532?

Omg, any info about alternatives/refunds? Especially the motion sensors from osram were incredible but will be obsolete then, or am I wrong?

I've just put a bid in for a 2nd hand Lightify gateway and it struck me that the ID of the device is the QR code? If this is true, there is nothing preventing the original owner accessing it or anyone on the internet for that matter as the QR code is in the image for the device on eBay.

Is this true?

Any help, plz? It's weird being without that thing.

I recently bought a handful of the lightify a19 rgbw bulbs as the local Menards' have them on clearance (varying price between 18-24 dollars) I'd like to integrate them into existing Hue/Deconz environments, but no matter what I do, they never show up during bulb detection. Even touchlink doesn't get any sort of response.

Any hints? I've toyed with going SmartThings for the hub, but deCONZ is supposed to work fine with the OSRAM bulbs too. I have successfully used the deCONZ to sniff the lightify network, but have had zero luck getting the bulbs to react to the open network it provides.

This is something of a cross-post with the post I made this weekend on /r/Hue https://www.reddit.com/r/Hue/comments/88ltv9/adding_lightify_bulbs_to_hue_bridge/

I just bought the starter box and an extra bulb. I followed the setup instructions and got all the way to the point where I had to put in my wifi password. This is when I my problems started I could see my xfinity network but when I put in the password it kept telling be that something was wrong. After trying it over and over password both caps and not I closed the app out of frustration. Now when I log back in it only goes to the qr scanner screen, when I scan my hub thing again it tells me it is already registered and won't move forward or do anything else. Any suggestion?

Does anyone know what it means when lightify blinks purple/pink at a 1hz rate? I bought a strand of 10, and that was how they started up. I ordered a replacement and they worked out of the box. I got them connected to my app, and installed them in my front yard. They worked for a few hours but towards dusk they started with the 1hz blink and they are no longer connected to the app. I can't find anything in google telling me what this behavior means, or if I can fix it. Note that it doesn't appear possible to reset using the 5 seconds 5 times method. There is a short video attached showing what's happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
