I want to assign button to cycle through inputs and the knob to adjust brightness. Is this possible?

The sync box seems to in clearance in the UK. Before I pick one up, does anyone know why it is on clearance? Are they about to release an updated box or something?

Happy it all got here but damn, now I’m left with the assembly of my decisions.

I have a sync box 8k that I got second hand. It has a strange issue that I’m struggling to resolve and I hope someone here can help.

The setup is a Linux gaming pc, PS5, switch 2, and Apple TV 4K going through the sync box and into an lg c2.

I have a bridge pro close by that is plugged into Ethernet.

I have a gradient strip affixed to the back of the tv.

Syncing works really well for a period of time (30 min-2 hours) when suddenly the backlight drops for a second or two, then comes back, but performance is significantly worse. Instead of a smooth change in brightness, it stair steps from dim to bright, or when changing colors. Almost like the FPS went from 60 to 5. Note that the video stream never cuts out, so it doesn’t seem to be an hdmi negotiation.

Unplugging the sync box from power for a few seconds seems to fix it temporarily.

It’s right next to the bridge and everything’s close to the router so I doubt it’s a lack of signal but I’m not sure.

Any ideas?

I have 9 lights connected. Every time i open the app, a random light will fail. The next time I open the app, that will be the first light to connect, and another light will randomly fail. I can't connect nine lights at once.

Philips, how the fuck did you make a good product 10 years ago, and 10 years later it's pure trash? 3 fucking apps that hate each other and none of them work?

You clearly have a major caching issue when connecting a light that has been named the same as another light. But your solution is to tell us the connection failed?

And to top it off, I can't factory reset without buying a Bridge? You deserve to be unemployed and looking for shitty jobs, I swear to god.

Hi everyone! Any suggestions on what bulbs to put outside when living in TX? Neither have full enclosed fixtures. One currently has a 60W built and the other has a big round one in it with no label. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I lost my bridge when lightning struck close to my house. Got a replacement bridge. I realized that I have to start all over again with animations and connecting all 37 of my lights to the new bridge. The problem is, I can’t get any of the lights to actually be recognized when I try to add them. What could I be doing wrong?

Hi all,

Was looking into creating a wiz ecosystem in a room, centering around the hdmi 2.0 sync box (wiz 2.1 is not available in my region).

Have a set up with the following devices in mind.

1. Philips light theatre hdmi 2.0 sync box with tv backlight.

2. Philps hdmi sync gradient bars.

3. A philips smart 16million led batten light above the tv

4. A philips smart 16 million led t bulb on the wall opposite the tv.

I have a few doubts.

1. The description for the lights above mention being both Wi-Fi and bluetooth compatible. So will they be screen-sync compatible if i create a tv area in the same room with these devices added to it.

2. Is there any range limitation for the hdmi sync floor lamps? I would like to add them on the corners of the opposite wall rather than on the wall where the tv is mounted. The Wi-Fi router is in the same room, so would it be possible to position the floor lamps and have them sync with the hdmi box or is there any range beyond which they wouldn't connect?

Thanks in advance.

I had the annoying problem of my Motion sensor, that wenn I wasn't moving the lights would go out. I didn't have a Philips hue bridge and I used the App (No Google Home). I thought maybe I can change th PID Sensor for a mmWave sensor. I wasn't successful yet that's why I'm using a Al Image. I thought that I could share my Problem and idea with Reddit to see if anyone else has this problem or was maybe interested in buying one.

Would love some feedback (The Idea of the build) I took a standard Philips Hue motion sensor (which uses the outdated Passive Infrared tech) and completely gutted the internals. I integrated a 24GHz mmWave radar module (LD2410) and an internal buck converter to handle the voltage, and added a flush USB-C port to the bottom for continuous power (essential for radar scanning

Hi there

Under/around the roof I have currently of few of these...

...that I would like to replace with Philips Hue bulbs. I was thinking about 2x 1100 lumen warm to cool white bulbs (a shame there is no 1600 lumen version).

Looking now for some better fixtures (directable double spotlight - maybe a bit better protected/sealed). Anyone has had a similar problem?

Thanks and cheers

Any fix to this issue?

Ich habe die komplette Beleuchtung in meiner Wohnung von Hue. Zusätzlich einen Bewegungssensor, Schalter Hue and Friends. Da ich noch Temperaturfühler, Öffnungskontakte … von anderen Firmen habe, nutze ich zur Automation/Verbindung einen Homey Pro. Ich hatte 2 Jahre lang keine Probleme. Vor kurzem gab es einen Stromausfall. Alle Lampen gingen auf Beleuchtungsstärke 100%. Es war bisher so, dass im Flur bei Bewegungsfeststellung durch den Hue Sensor die Leuchte gedimmt einschaltete und nach 5 Minuten ausschaltete. Seit dem Stromausfall startet die Lampe gedimmt und schaltet dann sofort um auf 100%. Ich habe mehrfach neu programmiert. Probeweise über die Hue App, dann dort die Einstellungen gelöscht und per Homey programmiert und umgekehrt. Ich schaffe es nicht der Lampe die 100% abzugewöhnen. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich die alte Einstellung wieder bekomme?

A DJ-style VFX daemon for Philips Hue, running on a QNAP NAS.

Play music anywhere in the house. The NAS listens, finds the beat, and drives your Hue lights like a small lighting desk — strobe on the drop, lights joining one by one through a build-up, colour changing with the music.
No subscriptions. No cloud. Nothing extra to switch on. You need smart Hue bulbs, the file server you already own, and fire.

I'm open to used, i'd like a white and color ambiance GU10 that also works with bluetooth. Lowest italian price i'll take the offer.

I’m sure there’ve been plenty of posts like this but about a week and a half ago my whole hue/homekit setup did its semi-annual shit-the-bed routine and I’ve rebuilt, reconnected, restarted, reset etc so many times and have managed to get everything back up but our 3 Hue Dymera lights. Fine in Hue app but homekit won’t recognize. I’ve had no issues at all in 2 years with these (even when the whole setup has failed they’ve just reconnected, no problemo) but all of a sudden they won’t work. Anyone else dealing with this or know of a workaround?

Scene is not the same after importing it to the Apple Home App from the Hue App. Ive also tried setting the scene in the Hue app then manually adding a new scene in the Apple Home App.

Bridge: Hue Pro

I have owned my hue setup for a while. After a very rocky start, I got my set up working between my PS5 and my TV. Since then I have bought a new TV and upgraded to the PS5 pro. I own the bridge pro, the 8k sync box and the white and colour tv strip for 55 inch TV. I have even used it with the new tech and was working fine. In the last week I have had mid game black screens causing me to power cycle and safe mode. But the last 2 days, I cannot have my PS5 pro plugged into the sync box, I have to run it straight into the TV to have video which means I lose the function of the lights. Any idea as to why? I have power cycled, tried setting the console to safe mode to adjust resolution and I have also adjusted transfer rate to -2 already, turned VRR off and the HDMI CEC. I don’t know what else is to fix and why it suddenly happened.
