Hue bridge requiring update message #46

Open tbgoose opened 1 month ago

tbgoose commented 1 month ago

Since yesterday I can't access hue and receive the following message. Can't get past it and obviously it doesn't update... Screenshot_20241005-083706

Any idea how move past this? Presume it was related to my former bridge, which is now removed from the hue app...

Ah, yes. The hue app checks some external server at philips for the "correct" software version to expect.

Bifrost is currently reporting a hard-coded string for the version number, so that's going to cause problems.

I'm working on a branch that will allow Bifrost to automatically update to the newest version found online.

In the meantime, you might be able to work around this problem, like so:

  1. Stop Bifrost
  2. Open state.yaml in an editor
  3. Find the two instances of software_version: where the value is 1.66.1966060010
  4. Replace 1.66.1966060010 with 1.66.1966117030
  5. Save the file
  6. Start Bifrost

This may or may not be enough, and is only intended as a temporary workaround, until we get the new branch landed. But maybe you can give it a try?

Hi @chrivers

I have tried the workaround and unfortunately it did not work. I have a hue zigbee hub and checked the version currently running it's the "1.67.1967054020". I did change the values in both of software_version instances, however it does not work and when I go to the bifrost bridge information on the hue app it still show the hardcoded version "19660660010" and not "1.67.1967054020" also no point between numbers as opposed to my official hue Bridge.

do you know if there is somewhere else that hardcoded version so I can changed it ?

Thanks for your help
