Item state HUE lamp with traditional wall switch

  • Platform information: openHabian on RPI3B+
    • openHAB version: 2.3 stable

Hi openHAB community,
I have a problem with my HUE lamps and “normal” wall switches,
Those switches power off my HUE lamps. That is how it should work :slight_smile:

The log tells me, that shortly after I switched off the lights, my OH recognized the Offline state.

2018-08-20 22:13:30.072 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘hue:0210:00178822987a:7’ changed from ONLINE to OFFLINE: Die Hue Bridge meldet, dass die Lampe nicht erreichbar ist.
[english: The Hue Bridge reports that the lamp cannot be reached.]

But 10 seconds later, without interaction, the state changes to Online.

I already tried rules to determine the status. But this did not work well for me.
Copied from here: Using Hue ONLINE / OFFLINE Events in rules

Does anybody has an idea how to fix that problem?

Thank you in advance!

You can set the log to DEBUG or TRACE and hopefully find some info about what’s occurring.
