Won't release phantom IP address?

[ferventgeek]

Thanks for this plugin, it was working great for weeks However now it can't connect to the bridge, which changed it's IP. Looking at the log (below) it's finding an incorrect IP in it's config data and using that instead of the discoverable bridge IP that the Hue iOS app, Elgato stream deck and hueDynamic Windows app all discover just fine. Here's what I've tried so far to fix it:

1. Set an ip custom parameter with the correct IP
2. Stop node server, hit the pair button on the bridge, restart
3. Delete and and re-add the Hue node server
4. Uninstall, reboot and re-add the node server, reboot Polisy (Polyglot)

Still, it returns the result below. Any ideas on what to do next? Where is "Using ip from config:" getting it's data? Feels like something that could be reset.

Thanks again for this module!

Workaround update: It appears that the node server's .python_hue file with the list of server and usernames isn't being deleted from /var/polyglot on node server uninstall. Deleting or renaming this file solves the issue. I don't see this in the install script. Is this file managed by Polyglot's framework or each node server?

Same or Similar issue. Can you help?

Polisy Version: 2.2.13 ISY Version: 5.0.16

Issue: Installed new Router and it assigned new/different ip address to Hue Bridge. Upon trying to connect the Hue Bridge with the udi-hue-poly resident on Polisy, I found that the old ip address stored in the udi-hue-poly was not reset/changed to the new address and therefore could not find the Hue Bridge.

I’ve tried the following with no success:

1. Checked for updates on Polisy and restarted
2. Added custom parameter with the correct (new) ip address, but Polyglot is still searching for the old ip address
3. Attempted multiple times to stope the node server, press the pair button on the Hue Bridge, and then restart the node server
4. Delete the Hue node server, uninstall it, reinstall it and then adding it

None of these actions worked as you can see from the log below. Is there any way to change the “Using ip from config:” when running udi-hue-poly on Polisy
