Missing Scene Channel for Hue Items

Hi all,

I have multiple Philips Hue items (i.e. light strip, ambiance ceiling, etc), which have scene channels associated in the Philips Hue apps. These scene channels are not visible in the things settings though.

:x: I know scene channels are only visible if there are scenes associated with the item which I verified for all the items
:x: I know channels for old items were not added automatically in the past, so I already tried deleting and re-adding the things
:x: I tried to manually define the channels in the code view, however, these changes are deleted after a save again

I am using v2 of Hue Bridge and would really like to add the scene channels for affected lights.

How do I add those missing channels? Any help is appreciated.

I am not sure, if I got your question right.
I am using a couple of lightstrips and it looks like this:

I am able to use scenes, I can switch on/off and more.
To start a scene I am using DSL rules and send commands, e.g.:

LightStripScene.sendCommand("Hell") // scene-name "Hell" = "bright"

How can I help?

regards, Kai

Sorry if I did not make myself clear enough. The Scene channel is not visible for some of my hue things.

Thus, I already tried removing and readding the thing, but the Scene channel does not appear for my things.

Best,
Florian

did you click “advanced view” - as shown in my screenshot? :innocent:

Actually, I’ve been stupid. :man_facepalming:

Scene channels only exist for rooms, not for devices. So all sorted, scene channels are available for all rooms

Indeed. Scenes are attributes of rooms or zones. Whereas effects are attributes of lights.
