This thread appears to discuss the same aiohue issue and a possible fix in a different project: https://github.com/diyhue/diyHue/issues/1032

[kotylo]

weird that it started yesterday for me too without any updates from my side. And now the Phillips Hue integration won't start with the same exception. Updated to 2024.9.3 just now, but same thing.

Seems like the Aug 2 Pull Request in the diyHue fixed it with this commit diyhue/diyHue@7c757d984a6f5d104522610d0f9abd544791acc3 . They have added some owner to the Group in V2 API, whatever that means. Could someone take a look if we can do it here too?

[marcelveldt]

Do you have an actual/real Philips Hue bridge or an emulated one like diyHue ?

If diyHue, you need to update that to the latest version (or file an issue report).

If a real Hue Bridge V2, check if there are any updates available.

[kotylo]

I have the real one, is up to date BSB002 | 1.66.1966117030

[kotylo]

Just wanted to let you know that today I don't get the same error anymore

DEBUG (MainThread) [aiohue.v2[192.168.86.x]] Got 503 or 429 error from Hue bridge, retry request in 0.5 seconds
INFO (MainThread) [aiohue.v2[192.168.86.x]] Connection to bridge closed.

so it is some other issue with Hue Bridge connection that should not be discussed here. Maybe it's not reachable from my docker container. I'll try to scratch my head in the evening again. Thanks for taking a look, though!

upd.: a pity, but i had to delete my Hub from Integration and readd it again. Then it worked. Now i have to fix the ids of the entities and scene entities are not available :\ upd2.:: seems like the core.config_entries are changed and api_version: 1 instead of 2 (as it was before) appeared. That's probably why I don't see the scenes and switch buttons...

[skenmy]

I've finally had the chance to try this all again.

I performed a full reset (using the hardware reset switch) of the Hue Bridge (it's a v2) and fully set it up again using the Hue app. It did perform a software update, and then I was able to set up the integration flawlessly.

I suspect something changed somewhere along the line, or that my bridge just got into a state where it couldn't update.

[kotylo]

If someone else has issue that after readding bridge (the scenes and switch buttons are gone), reboot the hue bridge (mine was rate limiting with 429 errors) and readd integration or edit .storage/core.config_entries file and check which api_version do you have for the bridge now.

Mine has added itself as api_version: 1 for some reason (i suppose v1 API was not rate limited and v2 API was, tested with Rest Client).

{
        "created_at": "2024-09-25T19:59:29.291417+00:00",
        "data": {
          "host": "192.168.86.100",
          "api_key": "x6jIAguyWx...",
          "api_version": 1
        },
...
      }

Switching here manually to api_version: 2 caused 429 error, but rebooting the hue bridge (again) helped and now the requests are working again.

I had also a problem after upgrading Home Assistant.

HA could no longer connect to my V2 Hue bridge. But my "Hue android app" could still connect. When trying to make a firmware update of the V2 bridge, my app said "update failed". So I upgraded my Hue app (which I never use) on my android. I had to add again the bridge, but the app found it automatically. And the firmware was automatically upgraded. And all the devices were automatically recovered.

After the upgrade of the firmware of the V2 bridge, HA connected automatically with the Hue bridge and everything worked again

A suggestion: I like HA, but it would be great when we could upgrade any integration separately and only when we find the need to upgrade an integration. I could have avoided this problem (and another with Opentherm integration)
