Hue status: Invalid light ID #2143

Closed luisminst closed 2 years ago

luisminst commented 3 years ago

Hello

I am trying to sync led strip WS2811 with my hue bridge but alwais I receive the same error: Hue status: Invalid light ID

In other forums I have read that it is necessary to check the ID in the philips hue app but I cannot find this ID and I do not know what to write in "Poll Hue light"

Can anybody help me please? my firmware version is WLED_0.11.1_ESP8266_ledpin4.bin

thanks in advance

Hi! My apologies, it appears as if the Hue app removed the Light ID info in a recent update. If you have access to an Android device, you can use the app "Hue config viewer" and go into the lights menu to see a list of your hue lights and their ID numbers. I will need to add a similar functionality to WLED in the medium term.

Thanks for your quick response. I have installed the app "Hue config viewer" but I cant found my new led strip WS2811 (conected to WLED controler). I can only see the original philips lamps in the app. In the Hue application I can't find the led strip either. What else could I try? Thanks a lot

That is unfortunately not how the hue sync functionality works, the WLED led strip can't be controlled from the hue app individually.

Rather, WLED syncs to a hue light you determine, meaning it will always have the same color/brightness. In hue config viewer, there is a number to the left of each of the lamps. Choose the one you want WLED to sync to and enter its number in the WLED setting "Poll hue light".

i had some misunderstanding of the docs for this hue-feature. maybe good to add the explanition of "sync" wled to an existing hue-lamp to the documentation?
