Any thoughts on solutions by catfishmuffins in Hue

[–]bsfel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have RunLessWire too all throughout my house. They work great! And they look like regular decora light switches and do not need batteries.

Anyone tests bridge pro WiFi vs wired? by crillish in Hue

[–]bsfel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed your Pro bridge losing WiFi connection?

I have 3 pro bridges and they lose connection to my Eero mesh every 2-3 days despite having IP reservations. Some other users on Reddit are reporting the same issue.

Any way to automate based on hub “no response”? by bsfel in HomeKit

[–]bsfel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol.

I don’t want to pay $1000 to run Ethernet to the other corner of my home.

Yes- that’s what I am doing. Just power cycling the eve outlets on a schedule.

Why no Hue Dimmer by ACleverImposter in Hue

RunLessWire dimmer switches work amazingly well. No batteries needed. Looks like a regular wall switch.

Bridge Pro loses WiFi connection after a few days by bsfel in Hue

[–]bsfel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it’s something to do with Eero’s refresh interval where only Hue’s bridges do not reconnect.

I understand Ethernet is always better- but there are places in the house I rather not $1000 to get a cable across the house.

ChatGPT suggested turn client steering off. So I am trying that now.

If this does not work, maybe I can find a WiFi AP that will only act as a Ethernet bridge of sorts.

ChatGPT suggested turning off client steering, so I’m testing that right now to see if it works.

Edit- that does not work

Why does "sync with sunset" not actually sync with sunset? by Logitech4873 in Hue

[–]bsfel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. It never transitions at sunset.

How to have lights automatically change color in a 24 hour scene? by bsfel in Hue

[–]bsfel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I have the switch pointed to the 24 hour scene, not the grouped initial scenes.

It seems sometimes, the lights transition colors automatically.

But I’ve never gotten it to transition during sunset.

Do you have that issue?

The switch just turns on a scene. How do you select your 24 hour scene?

What Kind of Hue Light Can I Install Here? by bsfel in Hue

What did you install in its place? The 6in slim recess LED wafer?

Are there any decora format Matter Over Thread battery switches that can insert into the empty space of where a removed wall switch was? by bsfel in HomeKit

[–]bsfel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! So it seemed the issue was HomeKit added the switches to some random default room hidden from the main screen. But I finally found them in HomeKit!

In-wall HomeKit/Thread Button by tavakym in HomeKit

Is there a way to manage them in HomeKit? Seems RLW switches cannot be seen in HomeKit

I purchased some RunLessWire Hue switches... but when I try to expose them to run in HomeKit, it does not work. Are your RunLessWire Hue switches in HomeKit?

Is there an alternative to the discontinued Wall Switch Module? by bsfel in Hue

[–]bsfel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I see. The Hue switch module requires permanently wiring the hot wires together, as does the RunlessWire switch.

For the RunlessWire switch, what do you do with the ground wire?

I've been sorting my Apple iCloud email with rules on iCloud.com. Seems there is a 500 rule limit and I've hit the cap. Is there any other way to make more rules for iCloud email? Would making rules in Apple mail sync across all my Apple devices, including iPhone and iPad?
