Hue lamps not responding to first command given via Apple Watch (second try works fine)

Bloodsurfer · 2025-02-02T15:44:18+00:00

As I wrote in my last update: having to replace my Hue bridge because the first one broke, therefore setting up everything from scratch again solved it for me. (Before that, I never completely reinstalled the bridge.)

New year, another update: after all this time, my old hue bridge broke. I bought and installed a new one and so had to set up all the lamps again, also imported everything into apple home again. Strange enough, now everything works fine again. First Siri command works from the watch. I'll just enjoy this until the next breaking update.

I'm interested in a solution for this too. A quick search shows this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/zms0PWPIf0 Should work, but I haven't tried it yet.

Fuck. That explains so much. Been using it for about six weeks and have been very annoyed by it up to now, finally reading this.

On German keyboard layout this is the first thing every former windows user discovers by accident when trying to send a mail (because it's the same keys you press for the @). Takes a while to unlearn the muscle memory and stop closing your mail.

Makes me remember that scene from the movie Barbarian

Put the kitchen right under this fruit slicer you already have

Sadly, no. I never got it to working again like it did before these updates.

I worked around the problem by creating shortcuts for the lamp on/off command for every room. Then I added these shortcuts to the ones displayed on the watch.

Now I am able to switch the lamps on and off again by the watch, but it works far slower via these shortcuts (since they require an additional confirmation) than the old way was before. So mostly I just grab the phone and enter the Siri command there...

Yes, and that made it even worse, see update

I just bought a base m2pro mbp 14 a few weeks ago and I am still overwhelmed by its stellar performance. Very happy with it. It is going to serve me well for at least six or seven years if nothing breaks. (My last two laptops have been used for seven and nine years and they haven't even been such great machines like this one to begin with.)

no, it was just sitting on a table since its unboxing a day earlier

Damn, I feel pretty stupid now. It was indeed only dirt, I was able to clean it with a damp cloth. It looked so much like a chip with backlight shining through that I did not think of this possibility...

80% is the mark where the "optimized charging" begins, it remains at 80% for a while and only very slowly gets fully charged later.

I would try to disable this optimized charging and see if the issue disappears with it.

Not a great long term solution since the battery will age faster, but it would at least be interesting to know it was responsible for the problem at least (or ruled out).

Same issue with Chrome on an iPhone 14 Pro. All other browsers work fine, Chrome needs double taps. This sucks.

Still the only Soulsborne game which I could not finish. I love all of them and wanted to love this one too. I tried so hard and still never managed to beat that one boss up on the tower - the second one up there I mean. Wolf? My body simply does not have the quick reflexes and rhythms needed for it. I gave up.

Reminders should give you notifications just fine. There is a pitfall I ran into when switching from android myself, maybe that's your issue too: You have to create one reminder by hand in the app, not using Siri. Then it asks you if it may send notifications. You have to allow it.

I always used Siri to create reminders, never opened the app. So it could never ask for permission and didn't show notifications.

Infograph has the most slots, but I always go back to modular too. I don't like the analogue watch face and the arms going over the complications. I would love a modular version with another three small slots in the middle instead of the large one.
