philips hue on blgw

I have changed the bridge to new version 2.0,  BLGW will not recognize the new bridge.

What do I do wrong??

Hi Claudiu,

Is the IP address of the new bridge the same as the old one was, or have you changed it in the BLGW accordingly?

There have been a couple of threads here recently about problems with the new bridge, and with the latest software update for the old one. Search the forum for "hue bridge" and check if it's the same problem you are having. Some of the posts said that the bridge was showing as not connected, but was still functioning, but I think this was for the old bridge with new software.

Kind Regards,

Martin.

"Upgrading" to the new bridge right now is a big mistake. It was released before being fully tested and has many, many problems. You might need to find the new IP of the bridge. However, my new bridge switched back to the IP of the OLD bridge after awhile! Philips has been bombarded with complaints about this new bridge. I got a full refund for the new bridge AND got to keep it since it is impossible to migrate back to the old bridge.
