- Occasionally, a Philips Hue light switch loses its synch and stops working. Here's a quick fix.
BTW, if this doesn't solve your problem, try changing the battery. You'll need a CR2450.
Mine has seemed dead for about 6 months now, always thought it was a battery needing replacement. Funnily enough, I did this just now and it works again!
Perfect. Mine stopped working tonight and this fixed it straight away.
Thank you very much.
Just about to send it back to shop as I thought it was broken!
Unbelievable that the instructions don't mention this 🤯🤣
Thank for the tip. The dimmer stopped working and just showed a red light when a button was pressed. I removed the switch from the setup then, after your reset method, I was able to re-add the switch.
This has been driving me nuts! Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Thank you. I thought it was broke for weeks and then I found this.
perfect ! big thanks ! (works on Home assistant)
You are the man! Finally a quick fix., thx alot!!!
Worked, thanks! I panicked. Only had it for 2 hours. Lol.
When I push a button, the light in the top left corner of the switch doesn’t flash. I have inserted a brand new Duracell battery. I held all four buttons down as you suggested, the switch flashed green/amber/red and then stayed solid green. I released, but again, the indication light on the switch doesn’t flash when I press a button. Do you have any other ideas?
If you've tried a fresh battery and a reset and it's still not operating the light then you may need to remove and re-add it via the HUE app.
@@ChrisBoylan Thank you for your fast reply. I have just done that, and I am still having problems. It appears that one of the four new Duracell batteries I purchased from Amazon is faulty. I have just ordered some Panasonic batteries, and fingers crossed they will work. Thanks again, much appreciated!
This didn't work for me. I only got it working again after doing a hard reset (holding down the setup button for 10 seconds), then re-pairing it with the bulbs.
Yeah same here
Thanks man
I am having the same problem
Will try to see if it fix
Thanx from Brazil!!
didnt work it did do the flashing lights but still solid red not working please help
Try a new CR2450 battery. You can get them on Amazon. I'd suggest a brand name like Panasonic. If that doesn't work, you may need to remove the switch from your account and re add it. Good luck!
It works!
I also tried resetting the switch (the pinhole at the back), but nothing seem to help. BTW, I couldn't control my lamp from the app either, but clearing cache in the android app helped fix it, then I updated the bulb software, reset it from the app. I can control it from the app now, but not via the switch. It now blinks orange roughly every 2 seconds. Any ideas?
I would try deleting the switch device from Hue and re-adding the switch. Also, make sure you have a fresh CR2450 battery. Low batteries also wreak havoc on these switches.
Thank you man, it works!
this is a reset right ? so this means if you have scenes set on the switch you'll have to reconfigure it right ?
It's a reset but it doesn't clear scenes. Those are stored in the cloud in your Hue account.
hey that was helpful
thank you
Excellent

worked. thanks
newer ones need to be paired to the source bolb or hub. So this is outdated for me :(
Thanks
It did not work for me have the same model too
Try changing the battery. It takes a CR2450.
Didn't work
I think it's my bulb
Try again.
