I have both Hue bulbs and the bridge and OpenHAB running HABridge emulating a Hue Bridge.

 

The former is for real bulbs, the latter is to make Insteon devices look like Hue bulbs.

 

Works fine in Alexa and I can control both. But for Google Home I cannot get it see the HABridge ones, only the real ones.

 

Anybody seen this problem and know how to resolve it?

 

Thanks

Not directly related, but you (or the bad guys) can do interesting things with Hues.

Looks like it's a known problem.

I tried the older apk and managed to get GH to see the emulated Hue devices but now it won't see the real ones :-(

 

Given Dots are so cheap I might stock to Dots for HA and use the GH for queries and music.
