I have some hardwired accent led strips in a built in bookshelf (4 x 1M strips) that are failing. They are old DALS analog RGBW (5 pin connections, 24ga ribbon wire) that appear to be wired in parallel, home run to a single controller.

Can I substitute a Hue Flux digital RGB strip (since it is 4 pin). I can cut the 5m Flux into 4 strips and wire it manually. I don’t mind if all the 4 strips have mirrored light patterns. There will be 2-3 meters of wire from the controller to the start of each strip. I have rad that the 5V data signal wire may degrade with this setup.

Is there any way to mitigate this ? I know there are digital “boosters” available but apparently the ones out there (ex BTF SP901E) follow a different digital protocol (SPi) that will not work with Hue ecosystem. I have heard about inserting resistors after the controller to improve signal.

Any ideas to swap out these strips to Hue digital (so I can tune the white channel) without rewiring ?

Basically title as keep finding conflicting info online.

If I were to buy Ikea smart bulbs, specifically their Kajplats E14 bulb, can I pair and control it via the Hue app, along with my other Phillips bulbs that are on their?

Or would other branded bulbs work on the app?

Hey guys, I’m new to the Hue system, coming from IKEA Trådfri, which I’ve since returned. Running into a few issues and hoping the community can help.

Setup: Bridge Pro, 12x GU10 color spots, 2x E27 bulbs, controlled via Wall Switch Modules (one per Room). No Alexa/other hub, pure Hue app. Everything’s on the latest firmware.

1. Natural Light + Zones conflict with Wall Switch Modules
Each Room’s Wall Switch Module is set to the Natural Light scene, but I don’t want to configure the same schedule 12 times. Grouping Rooms into a Zone to share one schedule broke the switches’ per-Room targeting. Is there a way to sync a Natural Light schedule across Rooms without merging into a Zone? And after a manual override via the switch, does the light resume Natural Light later, or stay frozen?

2. Wall Switch Module keeps losing its paired lights
The lights assigned to a module in its settings randomly reset to empty and I have to re-pair them. Not a firmware issue — everything’s current. Anyone else seen this, and what caused/fixed it?

3. Scene edits don’t propagate, and “Copy to…” seems unavailable for Natural Light
Copying a scene to other Rooms looks like a one-time copy, not a live link — editing the original doesn’t seem to update the copies. Also, “Copy to…” doesn’t appear to be an option for the Natural Light scene specifically. Manually adjusting the natural light scene per room seems like a really big hassle…

see attached screenshots. I have four dimmer switches, one dial and eight wall modules connected to this Hub so I have no idea what these 3 buttons are supposed to represent. It also never previously exposed Hue accessories for use in Google Home for other products in that ecosystem so I have no idea what's going on. Is this new functionality about to be announced or has anyone else experienced this?

Hey everyone,

Is there a power adapter that can power 3 Flux light strips at once? I have 3 OmniGlow light strips that all terminate in one spot and another spot were 2 Flux lightships terminate. It would be nice to not have to take up 5 individual outlets. I saw the ones for the play bars but wasn’t sure if they would work.

Just got my new play gradient floor lamp and it has a segment that shows the wrong color.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Hello guys, so I just bought 4 Philips Hue and Color Ambience Bulb + Bridge for trying the Go to Sleep (Sunset Style, Dimmed Lights) and Wake Up (Sunrise Style) routine.

The Go To Sleep routine works fine and the lamp is able to dim at specified time (23.30) but the lamp doesn't brighten / change colors when it hit the specified time (05.30). Its only working when I change the style from "Sunrise" to "Transition to Bright" and it doesn't change the colors, only making the light become bright yellow. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or are there any fixes to this?

I'll my post my settings on the threads below.

Thankyou in advance.

Hi I am trying to fit a strip light up the side of my head board over the top and down the other side. However as seen in the pics, it sticks out at the 90° bends on each corner.

Any recommendations to get around this? Any help would be much appreciated TIA

Why are some sections of the lightstrip not pink? One of the section (top) doesn't produce any green color and the bottom one doesn't produce any reds? From some research on reddit, its the connection problem and I might have to solder them. If I press at certain points, then green color lights up but red disappears. it's still not pink though. I am wondering if soldering would fix this problem or is there any other way to save these lights?
