To remove a device connected through a third-party service (like SmartThings) from your Philips Hue system, follow these steps:
-
Navigate to My Philips Hue System: In the Philips Hue app, look for a section labelled "My Philips Hue System" (it's usually in the left-hand menu or settings).
-
Select Your Hue Hub Location: Under "My Homes," tap on the location where your Hue hub is set up.
-
Choose Your Hue Hub: Tap on your specific Hue hub listed under "My Devices."
-
Find Connected Applications: Look for a section listing all applications connected to your Hue bridge. This might be labelled "All applications" or something similar.
-
Remove the Problematic Connection: Locate the connection you want to remove (e.g., your SmartThings connection if that's the source of the issue). Select it and choose the "Remove" or "Disconnect" option.
-
Reboot Your Hubs (Important): After removing the connection, reboot both your SmartThings hub and your Philips Hue hub. This ensures that the changes are fully implemented and clears any lingering connections. Unplug them for about 30 seconds, then plug them back in.
By following these steps, you should successfully remove the selected device connection from your Philips Hue system.
