Phillips Hue lights can't connect via internet
I also posted in the Third Party section as well:
I am trying to link my Phillips Hue bridge so I can use ifttt with my Echo Dot to control the color of my lights. Has anybody ever had success linking their bridge so they can use the geofencing feature or the ifttt functions with their lights?
I am on Gen 5 and using my own router Netgear Nighthawk r6900
- I tried everything to get my bridge to link. Finally took it over to someone's house with landline internet, hooked it to their network and linked the bridge first time. Brought it back home, hooked it to my Hugh's router and its worked since. Something on my network or hughs internet connection does not allow the link to happen, but once linked it worked fine. Hope this helps.
