i have reinstalled my homebridge. after trying to get the new deconz plugin to run i am back with home bridge hue what im using since I started with homebridge.

now I’ve tried to set my osram plug from bulb to plug with ph -H ... outlet

the request I get in terminal is -bash: ph: command not found

i have reinstalled the hue plugin but I doesn't work. with my old home bridge installation I got no problem with that. what I´m doing wrong?

The error means that ph is not in your $PATH.

Could be an issue with your PATH, could be an issue with the way you install Homebridge Hue. npm should create a symlink from /usr/bin/ph to /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge-hue/cli/ph.js, but I'm not sure about new installations based on the apt package for Raspberry Pi, that no longer uses npm.

Thanks for your fast reply. is there anything I can do?

Check whether there's a symlink for ph in /usr/bin (or /usr/local/bin on some systems like macOS); Check the this directory is in your PATH; Find out where Homebridge-Hue is installed and manually create the symlink. Try npx ph, but I think that only works for in combination with npm.
