Unable to retrieve light list, select lights. #5

Hello, I have installed the node and it installs just fine, but I am having issues trying to use it. I am able to add my bridge and I am able to get an API when I press the bridge button. But whenever I try to get a list of my lights I get an error "Server not found or activated". I have tried on an Ubuntu server and two other Raspberry Pies, same result.

Hello, have you tried to activate the server node before trying to list the lights, I have a vague memory that this was required to get the base system up and running so it could query the available lights.

@jdomeij What do you mean by activate the server node ? (I got the same problem)

Just happened this to me, you just need to deploy the flow without the configuration but adding the hue first, after the deploy a hue server is run in the background and the light selector works.

Thanks you fmartingr, tried that out and it worked perfectly.
