Hi. I have three Hue Dimmer Switches connected directly do Homey (no gateway in between). They worked fine, however suddenly all three seems to be gone - they are visible in Homey’s Devices screen, but Homey doesn’t react on any button press.
All three got broken at once? I don’t believe that.
Probably I will try to reset them and re-add to Homey, but before I would like to debug it somehow - what would you do if you had the same problem? How would you debug it?
Edit: I’ve just found a thread Hue dimmer switch werkt niet meer, I can’t speak Dutch, but if I understood correctly it might be a problem with sending the signal via Ikea device in the mesh. I’ll check it.
Edit 2: nope, Homey Developer says they talk with Homey directly.
Solved the issue… It actually happened after adding an Ikea Repeater. So removed the Repeater and everything started working again.
Re-added the repeater and everything is still working
Good for you. I didn’t have an Ikea repeater, mine Homey had direct connection to the dimmer switches (at least this is what developer.athom.com said).
All in all I connected all the Hue devices (dimmer switches and bulbs) to the Hue bridge and used integration via bridge - it works much better now, lights react much faster, changes to group of lights is much smoother then before.
I forgot to add - I created rules related to Hue Dimmer Switch inside Hue Essentials app, completely ignoring Homey in this case. So far I can recommend this approach - I know it’s not so clean (I would like to have all the rules inside Homey, but I don’t), however the reaction on the button press is smooth and immediate - no visible delay at all.
