Description

Hey guys,

I got diyhue up and running. Well kind of. But first my setup: Zigbee lamp(as of now all hue) <--> Zigbee2MQTT <-->Mosquito (MQTT) <--> Home Assistant <--> DIY HUE <--> Philips Ambilight The light are showing up in DIY HUE. I can link my TV to DIY HUE and I can configure the lights on the TV. But than something strange happens. Only one of the lights actually gets synchronized. Is this a limitation of the Home Assistant implementation or just simply a bug?

hi, in the groups.yaml i can see you have 3 Entertainment groups. 2 of them only contain 1 light, the other only 2. i suggest that you remove the Entertainment groups in the hue app(settings> Entertainment) and try again setting up ambilight.

Hmm, it seems that you are on to something. It is indeed the case that removing those groups results in a working ambilight + diyhue experience. The problem is that I didn´t create those groups in the first place. And this is were it becomes a little bit strange because those groups get auto created by the tv I guess?

hendriksen-mark commented 2 months ago

Yes these groups are created by the tv.

Hufenbacke commented 2 months ago

Yes these groups are created by the tv.

So, if the groups are created by the tv but by doing so, the lights don´t work, i am kind of in a loop right? Well, how do I escape this loop?

hendriksen-mark commented 2 months ago

Can you try to manually make a entertainment group and in the hue essentials app active the cop lights?

I think it is working now. The loop can be broken by doing the following:

Install DIY HUE and configure/add the lamps
Delete all entertainment groups
Configure Ambilight + DIY HUE on all of your TVs
Shut down those TVs
Delete the auto created entertainment groups

After doing it this way. It is working and no group is created. A group will be created again if you modify the Ambilight + DIY HUE settings on a TV. So care!

so now its working? be aware that only 1 stream can be active, so only 1 tv can stream to diyhue at a time. this is not a limitation of diyhue.

Sorry for the late reply. I am testing right now. It seems like the system is working. But I have an issue with two lamps that seem to have an Zigbee issue. I will give an update the moment I know more. And yes, I am aware of the 1 tv 1 bridge limitation. I could spin up another container and deploy an additional diyhue bridge, right?

hendriksen-mark commented 2 months ago

yes you can deploy more then 1 hue services, in the logs you will find something about multiple devices with the same mdns name, this is a know issue and will be solved in the near future. i dont know how z2m will react to that much info at once, one way to find out, please let us know how it goes.
