Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with integrating Shelly RGBW2 smart bulbs into my home automation setup. These bulbs have been a game-changer for me, offering both RGBW color customization and CCT tuning, which allows for a wide range of lighting scenarios. However, I recently stumbled upon an interesting challenge that I thought might be worth discussing with the community.
I have two Shelly RGBW2 bulbs installed in my living room. Both bulbs are set up with static IP addresses and can be controlled via a browser using their respective IP addresses. This setup has been working flawlessly for me. However, when I tried to integrate these bulbs into my Android app, I noticed something peculiar. One bulb was immediately recognized and added to my app’s device list, allowing me to create a room and control it seamlessly. The other bulb, despite having the exact same settings (except for its unique IP address), wasn’t being detected by the app. This inconsistency puzzled me, and I spent considerable time comparing the settings on both bulbs to identify any differences. To my dismay, I couldn’t find any discrepancies in their configurations.
I’m reaching out to the community in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or could shed some light on what might be causing this problem. Is there something I might be overlooking? Could there be an underlying network issue that’s preventing the second bulb from being discovered by the app? I’m genuinely stuck and would appreciate any insights or troubleshooting tips that you might have. Your expertise would be invaluable in helping me resolve this mystery!
Looking forward to hearing from you all and learning from your experiences. Happy automating!
