Thank you very much for this fantastic plug-in. When I restart the server, the hue service takes more than 6 minutes to start. I have a raspberry pi 4. If I restart raspberry pi 4 all services start, but the homebridge-hue service has to wait up to 6 minutes. After this time it works correctly. image

That's by design: Homebridge Hue delays Homebridge startup until it has discovered and connected to a Hue bridge or deCONZ gateway. If it wouldn't, HomeKit would remove the accessories on Homebridge startup.

Six minutes does seem a bit long for deCONZ to start, though. Are Homebridge and deCONZ running on the same Pi?

Yes everything is running on the same raspberry pi 4.

Please indicate if you need any data such as logs or other information. Thank you very much.

Homebridge Hue works as designed - I don't need any other info.

I don't know why deCONZ takes this long to start and become discoverable. You might want to specify the localhost in hosts, to bypass discovery. I doubt this will help, however, as local discovery through UPnP should be almost instant.

I will continue to investigate. If I have any news on the subject I will write it down.
