Hue Bulb support

[reporter]

Hi,

I have a client that has put a bunch of new Hue bulbs in their club. These are LCA007 bulbs. The look similar to the LCT010 bulbs, but I can't control them in Madrix, although they do show up in the Hue app and when using the Hue API. Here' are the details of one of the lights.

I don't know whether the light is just unsupported, or if there's some other issue.

Code: Select all

{
	"state": {
		"on": true,
		"bri": 151,
		"hue": 3494,
		"sat": 223,
		"effect": "none",
		"xy": [
			0.591,
			0.3636
		],
		"ct": 153,
		"alert": "select",
		"colormode": "xy",
		"mode": "homeautomation",
		"reachable": true
	},
	"swupdate": {
		"state": "noupdates",
		"lastinstall": "2025-03-18T18:59:28"
	},
	"type": "Extended color light",
	"name": "Hue color lamp 1",
	"modelid": "LCA007",
	"manufacturername": "Signify Netherlands B.V.",
	"productname": "Hue color lamp",

				[

					0.7
				],
				[
					0.1532,
					0.0475
				]
			],
			"ct": {
				"min": 153,
				"max": 500
			}
		},
		"streaming": {
			"renderer": true,
			"proxy": true
		}
	},
	"config": {
		"archetype": "classicbulb",
		"function": "decorative",
		"direction": "omnidirectional",
		"startup": {
			"mode": "lastonstate",
			"configured": true
		}
	},
	"uniqueid": "00:17:88:01:0c:e1:23:75-0b",
	"swversion": "1.122.2",
	"swconfigid": "D11C1AA7",
	"productid": "Philips-LCA007-1-A19HECLv1"
}

Thanks,

Hi Nathan,

I'm sorry, but the LCA007 fixtures are not supported.

Here you will find a list with all supported Philips Hue fixtures:

Interesting problem with those LCA007 Hue bulbs! It's like hitting a wall in Snow Rider 3D when you think you're clear. Madrix not recognizing them despite Hue app functionality suggests a compatibility issue. Perhaps the API calls are slightly different for these newer bulbs? Unsupported hardware is a possibility. Hopefully, someone has experience integrating these specific bulbs, otherwise, a direct support query to Madrix might be the best path forward.
