(mac user) Initialize lights no respond

[owenchiouu]

Hello! I have no coding background and I'm trying to use this TOX on touchdesigner.

The Link to Bridge process worked where the DeviceUserName and ClientKey appeared after linking, but after clicking initialize lights nothing happen and so the control doesn't work at all.

Things I think that might have caused the problem:

1. Mac M3 Pro?
2. I uses two lightbulbs: a philips hue white light/innr colour bulb that can be used on philips hue
3. An updated was installed while setting up the philips hue bridge

Thank you for this code, I really wish it could work for me as it is so porwerful and I would benefit greatly using this for my bachelor degree show!!! Wondering if anyone might know what happened? Thank you, once again

after connecting, nothing happens after pressing Initialize Lights

hi @owenchiouu - thanks for logging the report here. After you've initialized lights what do you see on the control pages for "all lights" and "individual lights"?

Usually it's getting this far that's the hard part.

You might also try saving your project network, and then restarting to the project to see if there's a problem with the initial connection.

You can also remove this TOX, and start the connection process over again. If there was an issue due to a system update that should resolve that problem.

hey @owenchiouu - I'm going to give this issue a few more days, and then I'm going to close it since I haven't heard back about if there need to be any changes.

Hi @raganmd , Sorry for not updating on my side! So for now I have tried to save/reconnect, and as usual I have the device user name and client key up after connecting succesfully. However, the initial light pulse seems to not do anything :( I have also tested on another laptop, but I think the main reason here is that I'm using mainly a Philips hue warm white bulb, where only the brightness can be controlled. Not sure!

Thank you once again, and attaching some screenshots and pictures :)

@owenchiouu interesting - I haven't tested with only the warm lights. So there could be something there. Unfortunately, I don't have one of those to test with.

Can you share a screen shot of what you see on this tab of the hue tox?

Also - is anything printed in the text port?

It does seem like we're doing a handshake with the hue bridge and lights, so that's good news... I just don't happen to know if the warm lights behave differently than the full color lights.

@owenchiouu - your video finally loaded for me. Now I can see that there's nothing on those pages. That's super strange - do you get any errors? Without having one of these warm only lights I don't have a good way to test what might be happening here.
