how can I switch my Hue Color Lamp on and off? I know it is supposed to be a switch linked to the “color” channel. But whenever I try to create a point (=switch) for my equipment (the bulb) I can only switch it ON. The OFF switch is not working.
My bulb is of thing type 0210 (Extended Colour Light). What am I doing wrong here?
Just to note that I looked at that old thread and noticed that whilst the OP was using a 0210 bulb he was linking to a ‘switch’ channel. The 0210 bulbs should work with On/Off, Brightness and Color all linked through the color channel.
Thank you for your advice. I looked at my log and not only this switch, but also another switch (which I created without linking it to any channel) are turning ON but they DO NOT turn off (according to my log).
This is what my “Testswitch” looks like (and all the other switches that I tried)
@rossko57 you were right, that did solve my problem.
First, I had to go “Settings → API-Security → (show advanced) enable basic auth & implicit user role”. After I saved this, I changed my address (for openHab web interface) from “http” to https". Now, my browser correctly transfers the command and the item switches off… I would not have guessed that.
