i want to integrate my hue iris color lamps (first model, ~6 years old) in ha like i did with my other hue bulbs (white and color) - but it does not work. the iris color lamps came with own remote controls, but also work with hue apps v1 and v2. but unlike the bulbs i can not de-pair the iris lamps via the apps (or with a button press combination).
since they do not shop up in the automatich search, i would use the serial numbers, like i did with the bulbs. but the only unique number i can find on the iris (on the tag, see attached photo) has only 3 digits - the rest is not unique or no serial number format. adding zeros before or after the 3 digits does not help in the hue apps. i browsed manuals and forums - no solution.
i tried both hue app versions with bridge v1 and bridge v2, i tried to find them via the default zigbee home automation and via zigbee2wqtt (alternating, the other one was disabled). and i use sonoff 3.0 zigbee usb stick.
did someone else have this problem and could solve it?
I know this is likely not solving your problem but literally less than 2 hours ago I had a similar challenge.
I have 10-y old hue white-only bulbs that were (years ago) connected to the bridge and no longer in use since 2019. I wanted to add them to my Zigbee2MQTT now and the only option I had was to pair them with the bridge again via the number and then ‘remove/delete’ before I could add then in Z2M, i.e. it needed th hue bridge and app to get this done. The number was on the bulb 6 digit
yup, it’s similar to my problem and what i tried to do - but i am lacking the serial number with 6 digits - there are only 3 (lower left corner, under SN). it’s the same for all 3 lamps.
Thought you would have…I was trying to find an article to reset the chip I found ages ago but sadly cannot find it, it needed to open the bulb and apply some connectoin of sorts…sorry but this is where my 2cts end.
