Cannot connect to Hue Sync Box from HA

[smithey253]

Describe the bug I am unable to connect to the Hue Sync Box using the integration in Home Assistant. I get the 'Connection Failed' error. This happens when connecting automatically when suggested through HA and also manually by selecting the integration and entering the details. I have power cycled the sync box, the router, restarted HA numerous times.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: I choose the Hue Sync Box Integration Enter the IP address and Device ID from the Hue app Click next The error appears

Expected behavior Home Assistant should connect to the Hue Sync Box

Diagnostics No diagnostics as the integration has not yet connected.

Logging Nothing in HA logs about the integration

Environment Core 2023.12.0 Supervisor 2023.12.0 Operating System 11.2 Frontend 20231206.0

• Huesyncbox integration version:
• v2.0.1
• Last working version (if known):
• n/a

Additional info Initially I thought that it was due to me not using the Hue integration as I bring Hue bulbs in through Smartthings but after adding the Hue Integration, the issue persists.

[mvdwetering]

Since the integration is not loading at all enabling debug logging is a bit more complicated than usual.

Can you add the following section to your configuration.yaml, restart Home Assistant and try again? I hope there is something in the logs then.

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.huesyncbox: debug
    aiohuesyncbox: debug

Brings back this on the logs:

[mvdwetering]

This is a tough one, for some reason the linking process gets cancelled, but I can't see from the logging.

I added a bit of additional logging to the dev branch, maybe that gives an idea of what could be the cause. Could you install the "dev" version and try again?

If you are using HACS, choose redownload and make sure the "beta" switch is enabled and then select "dev" from the version list.

[smithey253]

I've installed the DEV version, restarted HA and then ran the connection helper again. Here is the log:

Weird... the additional info I expected to be there is not showing. Can you please double check if you are running dev?

In HACS it should show the text "986a1c7" instead of a normal version like 2.0.1 at the top left.

[smithey253]

I've redownloaded and it is definitely on the dev version now

Here is the log info after running the connection helper again:

I have been looking into this, but unfortunately I am running out of ideas.

With the latest logging I can see that it gets Cancelled somewhere deep in standard Python code, but I can't see why it is cancelled or by whom. Searching on the internet did not result in any good leads.

So not sure what to try next :(

[smithey253]

No worries, thank you so much for trying to get it working! Much appreciated.

[smithey253]

Hey

Coming back to this, the issue has now been resolved and I have connected to HueSync through HA.

Thanks for all of your help!

[mvdwetering]

Great to hear it works now.

Do you happen to know what solved it? It might help out someone in the future that has the same issue

[smithey253]

Hey

Unfortunately I do not, HueSyncBox was still on the dev version when it started working. It could have been a HA update that had fixed it. Updated to the most recent version of HueSyncBox and still working.

[mvdwetering]

Ok, I will close the issue then
