Hi @rishi438, thanks for the issue report. I tried running the createUser.js script after being away for a while and it failed for me too.

I did some searching and found this closed issue in the node-hue-api library: https://github.com/peter-murray/node-hue-api/issues/208

Looks like there was an issue with previous versions of the library but it was fixed in 5.0.0-beta.10. Light-blocks is still pointing to version ^5.0.0-beta.2, so we probably just need to pin a newer version of the dependency. Could you try updating locally and see if that fixes the certificate issue?

Oops, just remembered that the scripts directory has its own package file, and it's using version 4 of node-hue-api. I must have copy-pasted from somewhere to get up and running and never updated to match the server 🤦‍♂️

If you edit scripts/package.json and request node-hue-api at ^4.0.11, the issue seems to go away.

I'll push a fix once I get the chance.

Hi @rishi438, sorry for being so slow getting back to you! I looked into this and couldn't find a convenient way to get the script working, but then I realized that the Philips Hue docs have a pretty good getting started guide for generating the env vars needed. So I updated the project README to link to the instructions.
