duplicate key!!! JowiHue JowiHue Living Room at refs 597 and 593

Keep getting this error about duplicate keys. Only have one device named living room but two appear in the list of devices. I remove the the one that is not a color bulb but it keeps coming back. Only one is shown on the bridge. Where is this duplicate key coming from?

Labbie,

It it possible that the other device is based on the name of a Group, created in the Philips app? Because for some reason the philips wants every light in a group, so now and then it creates a new 'room' with the same name as a light.

If you go to the properties page of the device that is not your light, you can see if the device is created as a group device. If you need it in the Philips app, you need to give it a different nam, so the duplicate will not exist anymore.
If you do not need it in the Philips app, you can remove the group from the bridge itself by going to the bridge maintenance page and use the group slider.

Thanks,

Wim

You nailed it, that solved my problem as one is a group. Love this Plug In!
