do i need a gateway bulb?

[Raymie Clarkson]

i have 2 lyt8266 bulbs with souliss flashed to them, i read that i had to set one as a gateway and the others as peers. which when done both bulbs work and i can control them.

but if i turn the gateway bulb off at the power switch i can no longer control the other bulb,  this seems really stupid, i'm assuming theres another way where both bulbs can function independently ?

Hi,

that's normal because the Gateway should be always on, if you use an LYT as bulb you should turn it off without removing the power supply to the bulb.
If you power off the gateway of the Philips Hue you will have the same result.

As alternative move the Gateway off the LYT on an ESP based node that's always on.

Regards,
Dario.
