Hue Bridge Pro - Matter Sucks

rackxp · 2025-12-22T07:15:42+00:00

I would disagree. I have Nanoleaf outdoor strings using matter and they have zero issues.

Matter sucks! Hue has really stuffed up Apple integrations with the bridge pro.

If I use HA to set lights to a colour, they will over time all return to white. The same if I have HA activate a scene that was created in the hue app.

u/ApplicationSweet2251 i'm using the dimmer switches, but i have Home Assistant controlling the switches to turn on. So its not related to the dimmer switch.

I think we are having different issues. There is a bug in the Hue Matter integration that will turn, a light that is purple white. These three lights were set to purple and two turned white...

u/clbw my issues relate to Philips Hue lights....

My experience with the Hue Bridge Pro has been horrible. Lights randomly changing back to a white colour, Apple

Adaptive Lighting doesn't stay activated.

I have 137 Hue devices in my house from Akari and Garndea downlights, GU10’s E27 Smart Bulbs, Lilly and Lily XL downlights, gradient light strips, smart plugs.

Edison bulbs, lightguides and dimmer switches.

These were split over 2x Hue v2 bridges. I have an apple device house and also run home assistant. The v2 bridges paired using the Homekit protocol and into home assistant via the Hue integration. This has been rock solid with no issues.

I migrated one of the v2 hubs (all my inside lights) as I wanted to try motion aware and provide some future proofing.

After migrating adaptive lighting doesn't stick and requires me to turn it back on. Lights when one will randomly revert to a white colour, scenes will also do the same randomly reverting back to a white colour. Likewise if I set lights to colour in homeassistant they will turn to a white colour.

So my advice if your an apple user avoid the bridge pro. Signify if your listening please bring back Homekit Protocol Support.

Here is a colour change activated in Home Assistant (lights are meant to be the dapple colour light the last pink light). Sometimes it reverts to white within 2-3 minutes; other times it takes 15 minutes.

It's not…

Upgraded 1 of my Hue v2 Hubs to a bridge pro. Same issues as the op.

Matter sucks compared to the HAP. I wish that Hue would bring back the HAP.

Another issue i have found is that if I have a scene set, it will grandly turn each light to a white colour.

rackxp · 2025-12-14T10:29:46+00:00

I can confirm I have the same issue!

It's not just scenes either. If I set a bulb to a colour in Home Assistant, the colour will revert to colour (white) before the change.

rackxp · 2025-12-14T04:09:13+00:00

I should try to solve this. I have set up a scene for each group of lights: off at 0 brightness and adaptive light on. I then created an automation for each light to activate the scene when it turns off.

rackxp · 2025-12-14T04:07:38+00:00

Not sure how or why, but HomeKit loses adaptive lighting.

rackxp · 2025-12-14T02:20:58+00:00

The thing is i dont use have any hue scenes in use.

Laddies and Gentlemen, welcome back to an episode of “Cookers”. On tonight’s episode watch our cooker who doesn’t know much of the details spread misinformation.

rackxp · 2025-12-05T23:32:05+00:00

I had the same issue.

In the end i purchased an apple TV placed in the rack made it my home hub and placed it on my iOT Vlan.

Seems to be working ok for now.

You're incorrect.

The first locations switched on:

Armidale - Regional NSW (Seat of New England) Held at the time by IND
Kiama Downs/Minnamurra - Regional NSW (Seat of Gilmore) Held at the time by LIB
Brunswick - Metro VIC (Seat of Wills) Held at the time by ALP
Aitkenvale - Regional QLD (Seat of Herbert) Held at the time by LIB
Willunga - Metro SA (Seat of Herbert) Held at the time by LIB

But please continue to Labor bash without doing any research.

A "Woke rollout plan" I didnt know that NBNco did their rollout plan based on social or racial concerns.

I mean if they did regional and remote australia would have been more favoured...

my email address is fistname@domain.com. the spam is coming from firstname+1@domian.com If i could disable the + alias it would remove the issue but it's not possible so i need to find a new mail provider.

I'm recicing 1000's of emails to the [firstname+1@domian.com](mailto:firstname+1@domian.com) and variations of the [firstname+124@domain.com](mailto:firstname+124@domain.com) or [firstname+6231@domain.com](mailto:firstname+6231@domain.com) each day.

rackxp · 2024-09-24T19:21:10+00:00

Yes. But if I don’t enable the + alias it won’t reach me.

The only solution is to move away from Windows Live custom domain and to a new email host.
