Help required for connection philips hue dimmer v2 with ZHA

Hi everybody,

I just bought my first Philips Hue device (enrave lamp), but I am not able to connect it to my HA. HA runs as a docker container with a sonoff zigbee stick. I already have 13 devices (aqara, nous, …) connected to my HA, so I know that zigbee should not be a problem.

After many tries, I got the lamp to connect to the dimmer OR the dimmer connected to the HA, but never got them to work correctly. I assume I make some mistakes, that’s why I wanted to ask if anybody has a “manual” on how to do the connection in the correct order.

Any help is appreciated :slight_smile:

Could you explain a bit more? You have a Hue lamp and a Hue dimmer switch which you’re trying to add to your zigbee network with ZHA, right? When you say they don’t work correctly, what do you mean? What are you doing, what are you expecting and what actually happens?

Sorry for providing too less information.

So, the enrave hue ceiling lamp comes with the hue dimmer v2. I try to connect the dimmer (I assume that I can not connect the light directly to ZHA) to my ZHA.

The problem is, that when the lamp is already connected to the dimmer, I am not able to find the dimmer in my zha devices. When the lamp is not connected to the dimmer, the dimmer is found in my zha devices. But I need the dimmer to be connected to my zha and the lamp.

Did this explain the situation better?

Alright, I got the lamps to work:

  1. Install Philips Hue app
  2. Update lamp using app (Bluetooth)
  3. Factory reset lamp using app → ZHA found the lamp

I try to connect the dimmer switch now and hopefully everything should work correctly
