Echo Plus reconnect to Philip Hue bulb
« on: December 06, 2017, 06:17:59 pm »
I have an Amazon Echo Plus and a Philips Hue single A19 bulb.  In the Alex app, under Smart Home, it lists my devices - the light bulb was listed.  I accidentally pressed 'forget', now Alexa Plus does not see the light bulb.  How do I get Alexa to see the light bulb again?

Tell it to search for devices under smart home

Exactly same here. After forgetting echo plus hub will not activate again with hue bulb.  Spent hours with amazon and have a ticket # now. Some folks reset their bulb serial # The alexa app I have does not have a help in the smart home section I am supposed to go to. Can not find hub with hue app either. Bout ready to send it all back.....

Here is the only way I could get all of my devices to connect again after i tried making some changes and screwed it up..At one time I had 4 Hue bulbs and my thermostat connected.

I went to the Smart Home and clicked each device, 1 at a time. After I clicked the device, I hit Edit in top right, then pressed the trash can to delete the device. After all my devices were deleted, I did a hard reset by pressing a paper clip in the reset hole on the bottom of the Echo plus for 8 seconds. At 8 seconds, a chime is audible to verify reset. Then I did the initial setup again to connect to my wifi. Then from the Smart Home screen I tapped the question mark with a circle around it in the top right corner and scrolled down to RESET PHILLIPS HUE LIGHT. I clicked that and entered the light bulb serial number and pressed continue. It reset my light and was able to discover it. I had to do the same process of resetting and discovering for each bulb.

Now all my bulbs and thermostat work!!

Good luck

I would have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Hue skill.
