It's simple really: it finds the lights, I can add them to a room, but when I add the last light it sayd "Can't save".

@Stevenvaneijk 

 

Hello, thank you very much for the detailed info.

 

So it shows "failed to save" when you tried to add the 50th one to the network? Can I have the Android version of your phone and ensure the Deco app is the latest.

 

BTW, if you have an iPhone, please give that a try.

@avdstelt I've had the same. But you can upgrade with this tutorial: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/stories/detail/672

 

But then the bridge is not recognized anymore. So they didn't push the solution to the latest firmware...

 

I gave up. I use hue and home assistant to control my lights. Tp link doesn't add any extra functionality to that.

 

However, it's still a shame

Hi, If you still failed to add Philips Hue bridges as the smart devices when Deco M9 plus/Deco M5 is on the access point mode, please try to update the following firmware:

please feel free to update here with further improvements.

Thank you very much.
