HowTo add DeCONZ compatible devices to deCONZ

[philiphill]

Wim - Wow, you're good. Those steps worked like a charm and I was able to see the devices in less than 30 secs. Thanks for help. Now it's time to order some more sensors...

I must be missing something....I cannot get philips hue light bulbs to be discovered in Deconz even thru using the old webapp...using conbee II...

I could help better when you describe the steps you did trying to connect the lights? Now it is a bit of a guessing game to find what step(s) you might have missed?
Here are some things to look at....

• Are you running on Windows or Linux?
• What do you see in the interface of deCONZ?
• Is the bridge added as device in HomeSeer?
• When you start a search through the configuration page of the plugin, do you see reponse in the deCONZ interface? (blinking dots, new devices added)
• Have the Hue lights been used before? Make sure they are reset otherwise they willl not be discovered at all
• When you start discovery of lights, make sure the Philips Hue lights have been powered off just before that

thanks for the response...and apologies for the lack of info:

Win10
What I see in interface is attached...
I have not added the bridge as a device in homeseer yet because I haven't been able to find anything in Deconz
No new devices added when I do a search
Hue lights have been used before -currently talking to the hue bridge
i just tried to discover with the power off and powering on to no avail.


Thanks in advance for your help...

You will have to reset the bulbs first before you can add the bulbs to deCONZ. They will only connect to one coordinator, which is the Hue bridge now?

Are these Xiaomi devices available for UK-Europe frequency?

There are no differences in frequecy, so you are save checking for sensors. I have the same water sensors here
