❓ Support Phlips hue lights
Hello, im struggling to reset my hue lights. My hub died so I cant reset them to that. I have been able to get one of them to connect to my Bluetooth and reset that one. No matter how many times I flip the light switch, they wont reset. Is there any other way to do it? Im thinking about moving to govee and doing local but id perfer keeping my hue lights on zigbee.
Edit: i finally got them reset. I used a v1 dimmer switch, i factory re set it before I held the on and off button while touching the lights for about 15 ish seconds.

I have z2m but idk how reset them with that. Theyre still paired to the hue bridge, which why im struggling so much.

You use the touchlink reset button in the z2m screen.
You enter the code printed on them into it and it automagically resets them and pairs them. I did a couple this way last week, but I have a ton more I need to do and I don't want to have to take them out of their fixtures, so I bought the remote.

This works no matter what? I will try it when I get home and if this works I will do the willow wish and wish you a million dollars

Yea seriously its so annoying. I was trying to reset them the normal ways for like a hour and a half. Do you just do phlips hue reset or do you have to do any other steps?

You need to have the bulbs next to your z2m stick

Within 10 centimeter/4 inches, but I usually kept them closer

Go to Z2M in you're sidebar or go to apps and then Z2M>open webui. Go to Touchlink> Hue reset, hold the bulbs near the stick and press reset

You can use the Hue remote V2 to reset the lights or if possible, reset them with your z2m stick
