I had this working reliably for 3 years then around March/April 2023 Hue Labs stopped working via Alexa. I discovered many people had the same problem. I contacted Hue who fed back that: "due to changes made in the system this scene recall functionality is broken and will not be fixed. Hue Labs is a test environment and functionality may come and go." Thanks Phillips Hue
Thanks, I do like creating Hue/smart lighting videos, so will do more soon 🙂 I have a couple of smart camera ones in the pipeline, but will be doing some Hue ones soon after. 👍
Hmm sorry to hear it. I had a similar experience (tried it once a week for a month or two), and one day it randomly started working 😔 So it does seem a bit temperamental at times. If I find more info, though, then I'll let you know 👍
Hmm sorry to hear it. It didn't work for me at first (after people told me that Alexa added this feature, and it worked for them). So maybe it's either a slow - or buggy - rollout? 😕 I hope yours starts working soon though, it is nice when it's all setup.
Is it possible to show motion on a ring camera on all echo show devices and mobile devices at the same time. I have 3 echo show with displays and 2 firesticks. There are 5 stick up cameras, 3 spotlight cameras and a ring doorbell. I could really do with your help ? Thank you Andrew
Hi Andrew 👋 With the Alexa-Ring integration, you can get your Echo and Fire stick devices to say "motion detected in your garden/drive" (etc), but it won't actually show the live view footage from that motion. Only doorbell presses will show the footage on your Echo Show and FireTV devices.
Thanks. This is a great help and just what I was after. Unfortunately I can’t make the party due to other commitments that day.

Just saved me a bunch of money. Was going to use IFTTT but this is obviously the way to go. Thanks !
Keep pumping out those hue vids. Awesome content

Good video! Love it!
Thanks man 🙂
Unfortunately, it does not work for me. I just can't find the scene in Alexa. Or Alexa does not find a new scene. Any tips for troubleshooting?

Doesn't work for me. My bulbs still won't fade out or in when I start an alexa routine to trigger the lab scene.
