Description

Hey,

I have Hue Play gradient lightstrip 65 connected to Zigbee2Mqtt. It's recognized as LCX002

I added this light to Diyhue as LCX002.

But whenever I add this light to Diyhue, Hue App does not work. If I remove it, everything backs to normal.

I attached the logs of Diyhue when Hue app tries to connect.

Errorlog:

### What DiyHue version(branch) are you using?

master (latest)

[AJ-Reckless]

Just adding that this same issue also happens when adding LCX006 (Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip) via Zigbee2MQTT.

Hi, please look at the diyhue docs at https://diyhue.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lights/lightTypes.html

The lcx types in diyhue only work with diyhue lights and not with other lights.

Light Types and Icons — diyHue 1.0 documentation

[AJ-Reckless]

I landed there before, but as someone who doesn't build their own lights I did not understand what "only use with native gradient sketch" meant. I do now, and thank you for the clarification. Just to confirm before I pull out my old bridge, does this also mean that as of now there is no way to use an actual Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip with duyHue as intended (behind a TV, syncing with the colors around the border via the Hue Sync app or HDMI box)?

[hendriksen-mark]

You can use the other light types, I suggest you use LST002. The important part is what features the light have, bri, ct, xy, hue, sat

[hendriksen-mark]

Hi, i did some more research and this function is not yet in HA, it is in Z2M.
I can change diyhue to make the edit to LCX work for non native lights but i have no lights to test with.
If you can and are willing to test this i will do the update.

[AJ-Reckless]

I can absolutely test. All of my other Philips lights are Z2m, but I still use a Philips bridge for my for my gradient lightstrips and hue smart play lights so that I can sync them to my displays with Hue Sync. If this allows me to properly use Hue Sync with diyHue I can finally ditch my bridge.

[hendriksen-mark]

the new version with the changes are online, now if you change the light type on the webui it should work.

[AJ-Reckless]

Just finished testing. The good news is that you can select the LCX002 profile on genuine Philips Hue lightstrips now and the system remains functional. I am also able to control and adjust the lights appropriately. The only problem is that the Hue Sync app still does not work properly. When I selected my lightstrip and started to sync the lights to my display it caused the lightstrip to continuously flash random colors and it became unresponsive. I had to manually pull the plug and start it back up.

[hendriksen-mark]

Thanks for the feedback, if i understand correctly you can set the gradient via the hue app and the light displays the correct colors?
when using entertainment mode(hue sync) the light randomly flashes and does not exit this state and then you pull the plug?
from what do you pull the plug?
can you share the config_debug.tar from the webui?
