Connect Hue Bridge

Post by p0ske »

I am trying to set up a connection to my Hue Bridge, but this does not seem to be working. The log tells me the following:

Failed to contact Hue location service : As soon as I try to find the bridge

Failed to contact HueBridge : As soon as I enter the IP address manually

Both the server and the bridge are in the same subnet. Is there a specific trick to get this working?

Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul

What version of OpenNetHome are you using? Philips have changed the URL to the location service since I made the 2.0 release, so you will have to use the nightly build to get the Hue Bridge working properly.

If you enter the address manually, it has to be on the form: http://192.168.1.120

I used the 2.0 release, so that would explain it :lol: I'll update later, and try again, thanks!

Yep, nightly build worked directly! Now I need to figure out how to add the lights ;)

Hmm, seems not to be working.. Also noticed the following error in the log:

Command failed in HueBridge

Well, the problem is usually connected to registering the username with the bridge. Have you followed the three steps on http://wiki.nethome.nu/doku.php?id=HueBridge correctly?
