Orbi & Philips Hue problems?
Hi Guys, So I've had my Orbi system about 4-6 weeks now, and I've had many of the well documented problems. It seems a lot better on latest firmware, but have had a few little issues with my phi...
- So, final update everyone. Seems the issue was related to the Philips Hue software. After the last update, which part fixed the issue, we still continued to get almost daily all lights at 6pm, Hue have made 2 further software updates which has returned the system back to its normal operating status.
This issue is now fixed with zero issues relating to Orbi.
Thanks guys.

I have my Hue bridge connected to my Orbi satellite (Hue and Orbi all running latest firmware), and I haven't been having any issues.
I use a combination of automated schedules (via SmartThings and iConnectHue), IFFTT, Hue-branded motion sensors, Taps & Dimmers, and Google Home commands to control my various Hue lights - all of it has been working fine overall. I have 40+ Hue-related things on my Hue bridge itself.
These days, I do have a reserved IP address in my Orbi setup for my Hue bridge (along with a good chunk of my other connected "stuff"), but I didn't have any connection problems prior to setting that up either.
But I also haven't been experiencing any of the other Orbi disconnection issues that get posted about here in this forum, so perhaps I'm just lucky...
I hope the new bridge fixes it for you - those sort of issues are understandably maddening!
Cheers, Chris
