Hue Philips and homekit connection problem

If you have some issues with integration between hue Philips an HomeKit you should take care with this.


If use Google WiFi or Deco by tplink to create a new mesh network , you have to review where do you connect the bridge of Philips hue, if you connect it directly of your main router, you have to set the network in your Google WiFi or Deco of tplink in Bridge, because the default settings are in NAT, this create a new network and the IP pool is different that the principal router, creating a conflict between both.This is mandatory to guarantee that the all devices are in the same network, if you want to increase the security in your network I recommend use the default setting of mesh network, because some router provides by the internet provider are insecure, so you shouldn’t connect any device to your router principal or your old WiFi network, use only the new network Mesh and connect the bridge of Philips Hue directly to the Ethernet port located in your Google or Deco device. Remember if you want to increase the security in a new Mesh Network only connect the Main Mesh device to the principal router.
