ignore my previous comment which I deleted and make sure your hue network and firmwares are fully updated. some devices where/are still exploitable today if the update is not applied.

my hue devices support Bluetooth and Zigbee devices to allow for management through an app or a hue hub.

even if you do not use it, it will be available and active, and it explains your issue. I have had my neighbors lightbulbs added to my Zigbee network before I kicked them out, and I will imagine his cloud service saying about the same as you experienced.

but, I will not try to argue this any further, I just offered a probable reason, as that was what you asked for.

good luck in your investigation 🙂

that is probably someone who is connecting / pairing your Zigbee bulbs to their network/mesh.

it has nothing to do with the cloud service.

if you are not using Zigbee yourself, they auto join open Zigbee networks after reset or when they are not connected to a Zigbee network, so if the other person is adding a new device he or she owns, the bulbs will also join his network in that process.

unsure if you can switch Zigbee off in the app or not as I have never used the app, so you would have to figure out how to do that yourself or make them join a Zigbee network you own.

hope this helps and hope you get it sorted.

(edit, added line about cloud service)

they will probably add more stability.. like they do on the switch 😏

have you checked the side effects of vitamin b? seems like you are experiencing several of those, but it is almost impossible to "overdose" vitamin b since it is not stored in the fat cells like for instance vitamin d does.

Some of the side effects listed below:

Injectable vitamin B-12, which is used to treat significant deficiencies, can cause the following side effects:

mild diarrhea, itching, skin rash, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure early in treatment, vein thrombosis, sensation of swelling, polycythemia vera (rare, slow growing blood cancer)

Vitamin B-12 can cause very rare but serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). This includes swelling of the face, tongue, and throat, and difficulty swallowing and breathing. If this occurs after you take vitamin B-12, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately.

(edit; added some commas to the list to improve reading)

ALWAYS check with a trained medicinal personel, again I can not stress this enough if you are unsure.

vitamin b is water soluble, so all the excess should just come out when you pee, however vitamin b is also used in energy drinks and energy products because it "wakes you up", so it could very well just be a side affect of this.

if you are unsure however, you should consult your doctor or medical personnel, as it might be something else, and I am not qualified to respond to this, more than the information I've read and have no medical training, so it could be something I am unaware of.

take care and how you'll get it sorted.

Alright, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of Duckpower.

First, let's settle the "waddling vs. flying vs. swimming" debate. Horses aren't big on flying, so we’re talking waddling power here. Until someone locates a Pegasus, we're limited to the traditional land-bound horsepower. If you want swimming power, I guess you’d need to measure a seahorse?

Now, here’s where it gets serious: according to the brilliant minds at Art of Engineering, we can calculate Duckpower using a clever formula. They took the mass of a duck, compared it to a horse, and ran it through Kleiber’s Law. The answer? One horsepower = 131.2 Duckpower. So, back to our math:

3 horsepower = 3 x 131.2 Duckpower = 393.6 ducks waddling their hearts out.

But wait! We probably don’t need all 393.6 ducks if we give them some solid shift schedules. Horses only get 3 HP so two can rest; following this logic, we’d only need around 100 well-rested ducks, provided they get naps and stay hydrated.

So, let’s optimize our duck workforce with a shift schedule. Assuming we only need 100 ducks, here’s the plan:

Duckpower Shift Schedule:

Total Ducks: 100

Working Ducks per Shift: 25

Shift Duration: 2 hours on, 6 hours off (plenty of time for snacks and naps)

In a day, we’d run 4 shifts like this:

  1. Shift 1: 25 ducks start strong at 8:00 AM, waddling with purpose.

  2. Shift 2: Fresh 25 ducks take over at 10:00 AM while Shift 1 ducks hit the ducky lounge for snacks and a nap.

  3. Shift 3: At 12:00 PM, another 25 ducks clock in to keep those wheels turning.

  4. Shift 4: Finally, at 2:00 PM, the last 25 ducks take over while the others catch up on R&R.

With this cycle, each duck works only 2 hours out of every 8, staying energized, waddling at peak efficiency, and ready for action.

TL;DR: 3 horsepower = 393.6 ducks waddling but if we set up a 4-shift system, we can pull this off with only 100 ducks working 2 hours each, plus snack breaks.

3 horses = 3 horsepower, which translates to a whopping 393.6 Duckpower.

Honestly, why are we still using horses as the standard here? Ducks are clearly the superior metric. So if you're like me and prefer a more feathered approach, just remember:

3 horses = 3 horsepower = 393.6 ducks You’re welcome.

(PS: Just imagine 393.6 ducks handling 10Gb... now that’s efficiency.)

well, then there is no need for the masks that drop down either then? I was making a joke, no need to be so serious? 🙂
