    I just yesterday got a new hue bridge.

    It’s the v2. It’s not picking up any of the older bulbs I have in the house, the ones I was using with the v1 bridge.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Did you leave your old hub connected?

    If you leave everything setup as it was, just setup the second hub. The app should see it then, and should transfer the blubs across.

    Yes left the old hub connected, just wouldn’t work.

    Ended up having to manually add each bulb, no big deal in the end, apart from having to unscrew each one and type the serial number in and search for each bulb individually.

    Have everything working with Siri/Homepods now so all is good
