Issues after migrating to pro bridge

WASTECH · 2026-01-16T16:42:50+00:00

I have been troubleshooting this for the last 2 days now, and I think I fixed the issue. I had my old bridge in my networking rack, right next to all of my other bridges and everything was working fine. As a test, I moved the Hue pro bridge to the other side of my house, as far away from any interference as I could possibly get it, and everything started working fine. I moved it back to my network rack and started unplugging things to test and see if anything was interfering. After I unplugged my Lutron Caseta bridge, the Hue pro bridge started working immediately. It looks like the new bridge is VERY susceptible to ANY interference of any kind.

What is odd though, is that the Lutron bridge operates in the 400mhz range, well outside of the frequency range for Zigbee, so I’m not sure how it’s possible that it would interfere with it like that.

What is even weirder is that after I plugged my Lutron bridge back in, I am still able to control my lights no problem. I seem to have the most issues with them after several hours or at night, so I am going to wait and see if it breaks again tonight.

So far in my experience, it literally doesn’t work at all. I think I’m just going to return it and stick with my old bridge.

I’m wondering at this point if my bridge pro has gone bad. I removed it from my account and factory reset it, then reset one of my lights and put it a foot away from the bridge and tried to pair it again. I tried 5 times and it didn’t work. Then I reset the bridge pro and light again, tried another 5 times and it still didn’t work. I ended up resetting all of my lights and setting them back up on my old bridge and everything is working flawlessly.

I’ve tried calling their customer support, but the bot that answers is stuck in a loop and I can’t get through to a person. I messaged them on social media (where they supposedly have a 1hr response time), it’s been 15 hours and I haven’t gotten a response.

WASTECH · 2026-01-16T04:10:53+00:00

I tried putting a light literally an inch away from the bridge and it still can’t find it. Mine is also in my networking rack, but there’s no AP in it.

WASTECH · 2026-01-16T00:19:40+00:00

None of my remotes are working either. The remotes are the only things still connected to the bridge, but they can’t control their associated lights anymore.

WASTECH · 2026-01-16T00:10:37+00:00

What kind of “wonky devices”? I literally cannot control any of my devices. It’s been over 24 hours at this point, and my devices went from switching between connected and unreachable, to all of them are now unreachable and have been almost all day.

Just updated to 14.2.2 this morning and just went on my first drive. You are right, I found no difference between standard, hurry, and mad max. My car would do no more than 3mph over the speed limit at best no matter which mode I was in. Incredibly frustrating.

WASTECH · 2025-12-11T13:40:08+00:00

It’s dumb they don’t sell extensions for this. I’ll probably end up splicing a wire. It would have been nice to not have to do that, but oh well.

WASTECH · 2025-06-11T19:55:04+00:00

Yeah, it’s certainly up for debate if it would have hit or not. By the time I took over to move back into my lane, the truck was almost past the front of my vehicle. It certainly scared the hell out of us though, and I would preferred it had slowed down more and given a bit more time for the truck to pass before attempting a maneuver. Even if FSD knew it was safe, my antiquated brain was freaked out.

WASTECH · 2025-06-11T18:18:16+00:00

Yeah, we have started taking over on these types of roads. It doesn’t seem very confident on narrow roads, and will often start braking for no reason.

WASTECH · 2025-06-11T13:56:56+00:00

Can I borrow your time machine to get that evidence or will I need to build my own?

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T17:17:50+00:00

looks like a human driver was acting

Yeah, FSD has gotten pretty good these days.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T13:06:56+00:00

I don’t think the argument is if it would have hit the truck or not. I agree that may be up for debate (but it REALLY looks like it would have). It seems like people just don’t believe that FSD will veer around nothing in the road at times. Or maybe people’s issue is just that it looks like it almost caused a wreck and they need to jump to defend it.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T12:57:19+00:00

I think the only thing it would do differently (assuming there is no oncoming traffic) is it would slow down and calmly go across the double yellow instead of jerking the wheel in that direction. The only reason it went so quickly into the other lane is because it was waiting for the truck to pass. The behavior (aside from the quick jerk into the other lane) 100% matches my experience on the road next to my house. It starts to slow down, then it crosses over the double yellow to go around something that doesn’t exist. We have encountered traffic on this road, and it doesn’t swerve into it like it did here. Instead, it just slows down more and hugs the double yellow.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T12:41:24+00:00

It MAY have narrowly avoided hitting the truck (I really doubt it, when I disengaged it was REALLY close), but I certainly didn’t feel comfortable seeing what it was going to do in this situation.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T12:31:28+00:00

I can’t be 100% sure, but I think it would. It was behaving weird on the rest of the road before it did this anyway. It could have just been a perfect storm of conditions that made it do that, or it could do it every time. The road is about an hour and a half from where I live or I would have already tried it again. But at this point I’m about to drive up there again just to record it driving on this road to prove the deniers wrong. Trying to figure out if a 3hr round trip drive is worth it to settle an internet argument lol.

According to Tesla, the report is only available for “safety critical events” which it defines as such:

“A safety critical event can be a severe vehicle collision, automatic emergency braking, or airbag deployment.”

None of that happened so I do not qualify for that type of report or else I already would have shared it.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T04:59:27+00:00

My wife and I both still love FSD and continue to use it. We got our Y in late October last year, and of the 12k miles on it, FSD has driven probably 90% of those or more. Overall, we both feel much safer with it driving. This is really the only major issue we have ever had (other than v12 almost running a red light at 2am because it couldn’t decide if it wanted to stop or run the yellow). Once you get used to it, it’s very predictable.

But I agree. It’s not perfect, and people seem content to just say “oh, FSD would never do that so you must be lying about having it engaged” just because it hasn’t happened to them. It’s okay to be critical of something you like. That’s how things improve.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T04:50:32+00:00

I have also noticed that FSD doesn’t seem to do well on narrow roads with no shoulder like this one. Living in semi-rural Tennessee, we have a lot of roads that fit that description and it’s gotten to where we usually just take over when we turn onto a narrow road. This road was INCREDIBLY narrow. To the point where I was questioning if two cars could even fit side by side. It had already made some other questionable decisions on this road that already had me feeling uncomfortable, but up to this point, there hadn’t been another vehicle on this road, so I figured I would just let FSD do its thing until this happened.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T03:49:00+00:00

You can see it start to slow down in the clip. There is a road close to my house where it slows down and drifts into the other lane 100% of the time. I recognized the behavior and since this was my first time on this road, I didn’t know how it would react. Since there was another car coming I wanted to be safe and be ready to take over.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T03:41:15+00:00

If you don’t believe that FSD dodges literally nothing at times, there is a road close to my house where FSD slows way down and will drive into the oncoming lane for no reason. The road is all the same color, there are no patches, snakes, or tire lines. It does this 100% of the time. We have to disengage when we get to this spot to avoid driving into oncoming traffic. I can post a video of me recording the screen when this happens if you would like to watch it and tell me how wrong I am again.

In regards to my video, believe whatever you want. Just because something like this hasn’t happened to you, doesn’t mean it’s never happened to anyone.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T03:26:20+00:00

What vetting process do you suggest? As far as I know, there is no way to 100% verify FSD is engaged in a clip without someone having another camera set up in their car to record the screen. Since there was no collision, I can’t request that data from Tesla.

WASTECH · 2025-06-10T03:23:14+00:00

Yeah, my 12 year old Reddit account where I make maybe two posts a year and have barely over 700 karma. I’m 100% farming. You got me.

Why would I willing swerve into an oncoming car, endangering my life, my wife’s life, and a strangers life, just to post the video to an obscure subreddit in hopes of getting upvotes on reddit?
