So I've just bought a starter kit to try out some light automation. I've bought a Philips Hue Bridge 2.0 with lights.
Clearly the Hue Bridge 2.0 does not work with my Almond+ as I'm unable to add it as a sensor.
I'm at Almond+ version R083 and have the latest firmware for Hue Bridge 2.0.
When will this be supported?

@ mba2nl,
Almond+ does support Hue Bridge 2.0, however, ensure that you get all 3 blue lights on the bridge and tap on Hue-->Add Hue under Add Sensor.

Thanks @Ashok. I think the problem was in the fact that I did not connect all three lamps first. Read that somewhere.
Another problem I have is the following. I have Hue lamps (3 with startkit and 1 extra) and Innr lamps (www.innr.com).
The Hue app sees my Hue lamps and my Innr lamps and I can control them. However the Almond+ does not see them. Even after removing the Hue Bridge and adding it again. Is there something I need to do?

@ mba2nl,
As long as bulbs are added to the bridge and if the bridge is connected to Almond+, there shouldn't be any issue in detecting the bulbs.
However, please do send us the log files and also the exact message you get while adding the bridge.

@Ashok I've uploaded the logs with a reference to this forum message.
I connected a Hue Bloom today and that worked perfectly and is being detected.

@ mba2nl,
It seems like innr bulbs have to be added to the Almond+, please remove the bulbs using their app and going through their manual add them to the Almond+.
