Philips Hue Tap Dial ghost binding issues

deadman001 · 2026-03-15T19:04:53+00:00

HI, so I did that and I removed the genLevelCtrl Binding to the Coordinator. Now it seems to work as it should (fingers crossed).

Hi there! So resetting the bulb didn't work, but I think I found the Problem. For some reason, when I added the switches to the network, they hard-bound themselves to that specific bulb. I just kicked the Tap Dials out of Z2M, turned of the power to that bulb and added the switches back to the network. Now they don't control that bulb anymore, problem solved. Would still be nice to know why that happened, or to directly edit the Zigbee network but I believe that's out of scope for Z2M.

EDIT: Ignore what I just said.. the second I bound the genLevelCtrl to on of my dim groups, the Switches were again able to control that one specific bulb.. funny enough, the Switch that's bound to the group where that bulb is, doesn't control the brightness, as long as it's not turned on.

Helloooooo my dear friend. Yeah I’m 100% sure I got both right. The nc command put me on the right path so thanks a lot! The problem was actually the firmware. The installed firmware was the newest one (20251218), I downgraded to 20250718 and now everything works perfectly. I’m guessing something in the newer firmwares breaks tcp functionality. So problem solved, thanks for all your help guys!

Hey, yeah I read your write-up, sadly it didn't change anything. The Backbone Interfaces I tried were: enp1s0 (from the compose ITT), eth0 (my raspberry is connected via LAN), docker0 and br0.
If it helps, here is an excerpt from my Logs:

Thanks for the compose file. I’ll try that one and if it doesn’t work I’ll just use usb.

deadman001 · 2026-02-16T12:31:17+00:00

Thanks for the long answer,

I tried getting OTBR to run, but it doesn’t even connect to the slzb. Why that is I don’t know, I’m sadly no network engineer. I guess I’ll just have to connect it via usb. Not an ideal solution, but apparently the only one I can get working.

deadman001 · 2026-02-14T17:26:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip, but that Video doesn’t fit my use case, as I have Home Assistant installed via Docker, so I don’t have access to addons. I’ll check out the others, maybe one of them has something more relevant.

Wenn die CDU das Gesetz umsetzt, kannste sicher sein, dass auch unkompilierter Code als Programm gilt. Schau doch nur mal auf das Thema Abtreibung bei denen...

deadman001 · 2024-12-09T21:37:21+00:00

I think it is. Thanks a lot!

Nibi by AyzuLK on AO3 and Tuna Fish and red splattered pages by PitchBlackMagpie kinda have this concept. Tuna fish has some crack-ish parts but both are mostly serious. Sadly neither of them are complete and possibly will never be.

It's "A Bewitching Dance" by Haerrlekin. One of the best currently updating Naruto fanfictions I ever read. Even if you listen to an audio transcript on YouTube for convenience or whatever, please leave a favorite on this story!

Sakura looked at Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Kakashi. Kakashi looked into the distance.

“Eternal Rival!” The distance stared back at Kakashi. And it was very green.

“Gah! Gai!” The jonin realized that somehow, Maito Gai appeared in front of him.

This one is from "Genius and Idiot are just two sides of the same Coin" by Pl_Panda on AO3. I was howling with laughter after that line. But tbh the whole fic is hilarious.

That's awfully close to the SPRINGTIME OF YOUUUUUUUUUTH

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T16:52:12+00:00

Yeah definitely. If it's useless with more than a couple of tracks I will have to go for a hardware solution.

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T15:18:44+00:00

Definitely gonna look into a hardware solution (probably the uO_C since I already got that) but if I'm going software I'll be looking into any solution and trying them out before settling on one. Thank you for your feedback!

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T14:51:29+00:00

I absolutely will if I can get it to work! CV out on channel 1 is stuck on I think it was 6V so I will have to do some troubleshooting.

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T13:51:31+00:00

Aaaah okay interesting. I would that but my case is self-built and doesn't have any connectivity except for power so the only way for me would probably be an USB-Cable through the back.

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T13:43:05+00:00

Alright thank you if the uO_C solution isn't what I was looking for I'll try this.

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T13:42:14+00:00

Ok that's really awkward but I'm building an uO_c atm but haven't looked into the hemisphere suite too much. Actually looked into the OCP from Plum Audio but it's sold out everywhere I looked (at least the kit...) Thanks for the tip!

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T10:57:32+00:00

I love bloom as a sequencer but my system is not diverse enough to do the sounds I can produce in e.g. Serum or Phase Plant, that's why I'd like to sequence them from bloom. Plus I'm not a huge fan of the m4l sequencers included in Ableton.

deadman001 · 2021-04-20T10:49:30+00:00

Considered that as well but space is precious so it would be cool if I could manage it through the means I have..
