I apologise in advance if anything is not quite coherent, I’m home with a cold today. I’m having a problem similar to what is described here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-turn-on-2-light-concurrently-without-using-groups
I’m currently using the gen3 bulbs with no hub installed, just a lightgroup in HA. When I turn the group on/off, sometimes one or two bulbs decide not to do anything. They seem to end up settling down if I change the dimming or flip the lights off and on again. The problem is it’s random and every time it’s done it, I’m dead tired and don’t want to dig through logs. This setup worked fine for the last 6 months or so with hue white ambiance bulbs and sengled led bulbs at various times, but I wanted the ability to have color, flash, and transition which (as far as I’m aware) hue color are the only ones that check all of those boxes.So, to my question, do most folks use the hue hub or do they connect the bulbs straight to HA? Are there any specific advantages of one over the other? I’ve tried searching through the forum for the last couple of days, but have come up short. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
