Thanks but I have Raspberry IO firmware so it does not work in HomeAssistant terminal (sudo)
You now how can I do in. ~$ …
Hello
I want to buy some cheep hue E14 white bulbs. On the compatibility list I see some hue bulbs with E27 size, but E14 is missing. Has somebody tested, is it working?
I see from Müller Licht some E14 bulbs which are on the compatibility list, is there a difference, why should one work and the other not?
Thanks
Gilbert
I do have Tint bulbs as well as hue. The only difference is, that Tint has a smaller memory. If you want to save more than 5 scenes, like I do in the living room, then you should go with the hue bulbs. In all other cases, Tint is as good as hue from my point of view.
@Pirol62: Really, only 5 scenes? I have 4 Müller Licht Tint GU10 bulbs. In deCONZ I have created the scenes and groups. All 4 bulbs are in more than 5 scenes - but everything works perfect.
Or is there a memory difference between Tint GU10 and Tint E14?
I have both Hue (White Ambiance) and Ikea e14 bulbs with the conbee. Both work fine.
I don’t particularly like the Hue ones as they make a low buzzing noise when powered but ‘off’. Much prefer the IKEA ones.
That’s interesting. I had a mix of tint E27 and Hue E27, Lightstrip and GU10 in the livingroom (8 in total) and operated around 10 different scenes via deconz. The tint bulbs didn’t switch correctly from time to time until I found out, that they only had difficulties with a few of the scenes. With 5 of them, everything was ok. As these 5 were different ones from one tint to the other, it could not be caused by the scene itself. So I switched them with hue bulbs from other rooms. These rooms have only 5 scenes in maximum. Now everything is ok. That brought me to the knowledge, that tint might have a memory problem. All that happend in the beginning of this year.
But as I know the e14 bulbs of Ikea are big as E27 bulbs -> looks depending on the lamp very ugly. So I am looking for the candle size (like tint and hue).
I have GU10 from philips which do not make a noise. Do you have the noise only on the E14 bulbs?
The Ikea version is exactly the same size. TRÅDFRI LED bulb E14 470 lumen - wireless dimmable white spectrum/chandelier opal white - IKEA
Oh yes, you are right. There is a big one and the candle size from Ikea. Thanks for the information.
If we are speaking about Ikea and deCONZ:I have 2 power plugs from Ikea. The 2 plugs often looses the connection in deCONZ and become unavailable. I must pair them again. I think if they get unplugged I always have to pair again. The bulb from Ikea doesn’t have this problem. Does somebody has the same problem?
That’s probably an easy question to answer, but i didn’t find anything by searchig this thread:
Is there a possibility with deConz on Conbee II to have the hue light bulbs remember the last settings like with the hue bridge?
I have around 20 ordinary light switches(the ones that cut off power - i know its not ideal, but i’m in a rental and it would be qutie expensive to upgrade all of them).
I also have same Ikea Tradfri bulbs, these turn on with the same brightness/color they have been turned off with. My Philips Hue bulbs turn on with the same standard brightness/color every time.
Is there an option to have that Tradfri behaviour with Hue bulbs as well?
(Ideal would be circadian lighting, but that would need smart light switches or shellies, so sadly no option atm)
Thanks in advance!
Here is how I did it with Philips Hue bulbs: Accessing Philips Hue Bulb/Sensor Configuration With ZHA Integration? - #2 by erikg
If anyone knows how to do this with Sylvania bulbs/strips, I’d love to hear about it. I didn’t see any relevant attributes when browsing the cluster information.

Just an FYI that I’ve done some smaller refactoring and “improvements” to pydeconz and integration to work better in certain circumstances like for example improve cover support.
Its all on HASS dev branch and I’d appreciate it if a couple of different setups where to try it out just to make sure I didn’t break anything.
Cheers

I recently replaced my Philips Hue bridge with a Conbee II USB-stick. I’m very content with the Conbee II USB-stick, it seems to be much more responsive when controlling my devices from Home Assistant, but so far I haven’t been able to integrate my wall switches.
Ideally I’d like to link my wall switches to both my lights, and to Home Assistant so that when for whatever reason Home Assistant temporarily ISN’T available that I can turn my lights on and off, and that when Home Assistant IS available, I can control automations/scripts with the other buttons on my wall switches. How can I do that with my Conbee II USB-stick?
This is my setup:
- Home Assistant v0.118.3, running in a docker container
- Conbee II USB stick, firmware version 0x26670700, linked to the Home Assistant docker container via --device=/dev/ttyXXX:/dev/ttyXXX
- Busch-Jaeger 6735/01-8x, 6736/01-8x and 6737/01-8x wall switches. These are correctly linked to the Zigbee network in Home Assistant.
- Various Zigbee lights and dimmers. These are correctly linked to the Zigbee network in Home Assistant.
PS I haven’t used the marthoc/deconz container for managing my Zigbee network. Ideally I’d like to do all that from Home Assistant, but is that possible?
I am not a deconz professional. But what I know:
- there should be only one coordinator in the zigbee network. So I dont know if you can have deconz + philips = 2 coordinators running.
- I have wall switches from Ikea, Philips and Xioami. Actually they are working perfect. You need to pair them. And there is (i think) the problem - you must decide to which coordinator you want to pair. If you pair with deconz, you will see them and can assign the keys. Btw: they often lose the pairing, this horror.
- At the moment i am so frustrated with deconz. So I dont know if it is so a good idea to move from philips away to deconz. You must try, maybe your setup has less problems than mine.
Hi everyone, I feel utterly confused. I got the Conbee 2 stick today, I plugged it into my Raspberry Pi (with HA installed: https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/4.16/hassos_rpi4-64-4.16.img.gz)
Every guide talks about adding Deconz as an add-on but there is none. If I go through Integrations it shows up but then asks me about ip/port and gateway API access. If I go to http://phoscon.de/app it just keeps looking for a Gateway and never shows up.
When plugging the stick into my Windows 10 laptop and install the software everything works great, I can see it in the app and connect it to HA without any issues. Of course I don’t want to rely on having the stick connected through my laptop but rather use it on the same Raspberry Pi I host HA on.
Every manual installation guide for Deconz seems to assume Ubuntu/Raspbian and the latest image when installing HA seems to be running Alpine Linux.
Add-on and integration are two different things. The add-on installs the deConz software, you install it from the add-on store as explained in the docs
@eelcohn looking at the screenshots, you are not running deConz but ZHA integration, this topic is about deConz.
