Still having to press link button on Hue Bridge every time

[EMB808]

Issue

I've installed the Homebridge-Hue plugin and encountered the issue whereby I was having to press the link button every time I restart the server. I've followed the information for a fix by editing config.json with the details provided for the newly created Hue user, but on restart I still have the press the link button on the bridge. Please can you help?

Did you copy/paste the info? Note that both values are case-sensitive.

You pasted the info into the wrong location in your config. just paste the user below the already existing platform Hue line.

That's brilliant. Thanks for your help, that resolved it, code in the wrong place - still a newbie to this so help is very much appreciated!
