Hue not updating status of disconnected bulbs

Featured Replies

Current Version: 1.0.7 / Standard [Production] EISY with Hue Bridge Pro

The Hue app, as well as the Hue Alexa skill will update a bulb's status even if disconnected. Turns out I find this useful. The PG3 Hue plug-in doesn't seem to do this so I can't script events that monitor disconnected bulbs. I found a work around, to put the bulb in a room or zone, which does work with the plug-in. In the case of a single bulb in a room, setting a disconnected bulb to 100% will set the room to 100%, but leave the bulb status alone. The bulb status will change, for example, on Alexa for routines, so this behavior is inconsistent with both the room status and other vendors that support Hue. Since Hue bulbs draw power, it's not uncommon to power them down with Insteon, or, more recently, to monitor an old disconnected bulb to capture the status of a motion aware zone.

Otherwise the current plug-in appears to do everything I need.
