You’ve heard of surround sound, but have you heard of surround lighting? Expand your home theater to include your smart lights, which respond to the content on your TV screen.Ī simple setup allows you to easily connect to your Hue Bridge and use your sync box with any TV and HDMI device. SYNC PHILIPS HUE LIGHTS WITH YOUR HOME THEATER Sync your on-screen TV content to your Philips Hue smart lights for a fast, seamless display of colorful light that responds to and reflects what you watch or listen to. It doesn't turn on by itself when I use other electrical outlets in the flat anymore.Use the Hue Sync mobile app and the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box to get lights that dance, flash, dim, and brighten with the content on your TV screen. I turned on all of the CEC settings on the TV again and it still seems to be fine. I ended up relocating the Sync Box about 40 cm to the left of where it used sit and haven't had any issues in the last couple of days. So, it seems like the box itself was being affected by some sort of electromagnetic interference in the area where I had placed it (or at least it seems that way, don't know what else it could've been at this point). Tried that a few more times with the same result. Tried the electrical outlet test again a few times and.it didn't turn on! I moved it close to where it used to sit, tried the test again and it turned on. So I got a long HDMI cable and moved the box away from its previous location, setting it on the living room coffee table (I guess about 1m away or so from where it used to be). The one thing I hadn't done up to that point was to actually move the Sync Box to a different location. The Sync Box kept turning itself on if I operated an electrical outlet in the living room (turning it off and back on).
I also tried switching to different HDMI ports on the TV, and again, no luck. I also disconnected the XBox from the Sync Box, so the only connection left was Sync Box to TV. Right.sooo nothing seemed to work, and I did try disconnecting everything but the Sync Box from the TV. Turning CEC off on my TV is annoying as I've had to go back to using multiple remotes and have had to connect the soundbar via optical (as eARC doesn't work if CEC is off on the TV).Īnyone experience something like this? Any ideas what I can try in order to fix this or at least figure out exactly what's causing it? My soundbar is also connected to the TV and doesn't have any issues.īecause of all of this, what I've had to do is disable CEC on the TV fully, so it doesn't turn on when the sync box turns on (the only setting which I still have 'on' for the Sync Box is the '20 minute HDMI activity' bit, so at least it turns itself back off after 20 minutes, after it turns on). Previously, I had my XBox and an Apple TV connected directly to the TV with absolutely no issues. I have tested my electrical outlets with one of these plug-in testers and there doesn't seem to be a problem. This is my working theory at least, as there is nothing else I can think of at this point. If I disconnect the sync box from the TV, the issue does not occur, which makes me think that small voltage changes in the flat's electrical are trickling down via the TVs HDMI which is causing the Sync Box to turn on for some reason, which also turns my TV on. If it's off, the Sync Box will turn on and will also turn my TV on (unless I turn off all of my TVs CEC settings, then just the Sync Box will turn on). changing HDMI cables, simple in-line HDMI switches, different power outlets, turning off all of the automatic settings on the Sync Box, turning off CEC on the TV, playing with the WiFi setting, different HDMI ports on TV and Sync Box, etc., etc.) but nothing seems to work and it doesn't matter if the TV is on or off. I've tried everything I could think of to diagnose and fix the issue (e.g. I have a soundbar connected to the TV as well, but it doesn't go through the Sync Box. The setup I have is very simple: XBox One S > Sync Box > Samsung RU8000 TV. Yesterday the sync box even turned on when someone rang my doorbell! It doesn't seem to be affected by operating light switches though. This happens almost every time I operate any electrical appliances or sockets in the flat. I've had a Hue Sync Box for about 2 months now and have had this ongoing, extremely annoying issue where the Hue Sync Box turns on by itself, and consequently turns my TV on as well.
