You might also want to get a Hue remote control so that you can reset the bulbs - otherwise once they are installed into a network, it's not possible to reset them, which means if you reset the dongle, you won't be able to get the bulb to join the new network.

Is this the Hue remote control you mentioned to reset the bulbs?

(The description doesn't tell how to reset bulb)
I'm trying openHAB2 Zigbee binding with CC2531 dongle and Philips hue bulb. But it doesn't work by now, logs show dongle initialized and online but doesn't find Hue bulb. I have reset Hue bridge (with bulb power on) before doing this testing. Does this reset the bulb to factory new status? Any direction on how to check the problem?
Thanks in advance.

I'am also trying to add a Hue bulb using zigbee4java. I've reset the bulb using the LivingColors remote (On Button + Scene 1 button for 5 seconds) and I've also checked the channel with the packet sniffer. I also see the beacons the device is sending. I've tried to add the device using the example gateway-server (using the "join enable" command) but nothing happened. Did I miss something?
Update: I figured the problem out. I've tried to add old LivingColors light, but those lights doesn't seam to support the network join. (On my Hue bridge I had to use the remote to add those lights) I've now also tried it with one of the newer bulbs and it worked, but the bulb had to be near the TI usb stick.
I also have a few Hue Tap switches. I've also tried to add one of those, but that also didn't work. (When adding the switches to the Hue bridge I have to press the big button for 10 seconds) Are the Hue Tap switches supported?
