Bought a load of new #ikea #tradfri #zigbee bulbs yesterday. As with the replacement Tradfri GU10 I bought last month, they pair and work immediately with my Philips #Hue Hub, and are picked up in #Alexa and #homeAssistant via their Hue integrations.

But after a few hours they become unresponsive. A power cycle sorts it immediately, but you have to do it every day.

Older Tradfri bulbs continue to work fine, but there鈥檚 some bug in the newer ones (bought in roughly the last 12mos) with Hue hubs

I read a forum post that suggested the overnight automatic firmware update from the Hue hub may be the problem, but disabling this hasn鈥檛 improved matters at all.

I鈥檓 desperate for a solution, as this has effectively broken my smart lighting setup. I can鈥檛 afford to replace all the Tradfri bulbs with Hue, but am considering ditching the Hue hub and the last few Hue bulbs I have (unless they can be connected to a Tradfri hub?)

Seems to have been going on for a couple of years, now. I bought my initial batch of Tradfri GU10s to go with my existing Hue kit about 6 years ago, and they鈥檝e only just started failing (as have the second hand Hue lamps I bought before that).
