    For any homebridge users, you can also do the first motion sensor toggle with the hue-sensors plugin. This adds a switch to your home app to toggle the sensor on/off. The most useful bit about this is it can be used as part of automations.

    I have my down stairs desk setup with Hue lights. My wife likes to creep up and scare me while I have my gaming headset on. To circumvent that I installed a Hue motion censor at the top of my stairs. During the day I have it programed to change to bright white that way in case I'm in a meeting or something my face doesn't light up a strange color. At night I have it programed to change to red. I also set up a routine through Alexa audibly saying "intruder, intruder, intruder!" My wife hasn't been a big fan of this part so I disabled it for the time being lol

    Nice video, Justin. I'll be checking out a lot more of your stuff. I just ordered 8 Philips Hue candle bulbs (white), the latest Hue Bridge and a Philips Tap dial. I'm clear on how to do a standard setup for my 8 bulb chandelier but I'd like to have a routine where the bulbs "rotate" or chase each other. I don't see anything in the off-the-shelf Hue app that would accomplish that. What do I need to add to pull this off?

    Do I need to connect chromcast 4k or firestick straight to sync plilips box so it can sync the lights with my Sony Google tv? Chromcast was working good but now it keeps on disconecting and have to unplug and plug it back in so it can work. I bought another cromcast and it was the same thing so I'm thinking is the sync box🥺

    What would be useful from your NFC vid is to see if you can create automations from NFC that anybody in the house can use. Though I haven't looked at them yet - so maybe I can just share the shortcut?

    I started having issues when I maxed out my bridge. I bought a second but for the life of me, I just can't figure it out. What's more, I can't find a vid dedicated to adding another bridge and moving items from one to another.

    • @Justin_tech
      @Justin_tech  3 года назад +1

      In order to “move” a light you’ll need to delete it on one bridge and add it on the other. Setting up a new bridge is simple. Just like you added the last. My only advice would be to use or create a new account for out of home control on each bridge. I’ll have to make a video explaining all this. Keep an eye out if you’re having trouble!

    I have four Philips color bulbs in my kitchen. When I turn the Philippines off one bulb turns back on by itself. So I turn the Kitchen bulbs off again then it turns back on with a different color. When I turn the full bulbs off In the kitchen, I can’t seem to stop this one bulb from turning back on again. I called Phillips technical support and to this point they have not been able to help me. They would not replace the bulb because they said it was out of warranty. So I’m at my wits end as far as solving this issue, do you have any suggestions?
