3 years ago today i ran into the same problem. i had a Raspberry Pi set up and working with my lights which i used for other stuff in the last days. Today I restored the backed up image to my sd card but it wont work anymore. Tried some more things without success: -deleting the config file -changing IP of the Pi -restart Hue-Bridge -start from scratch with a fresh Raspbian Lite (latest), install node, npm and dmx-hue. always:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dmx-hue setup
Bridge configured at 10.10.20.21
No lights foundThe pairing works so it can communicate.
Only thing i cannot test is changing the MAC address as i have only this one Pi.

edit: I saw that my hue bridge update is from 11.03.2021 (March 11) - maybe they changed something in the API protocol? also i shortened the api record a bit. i have around 30 lights, all of the same type, which worked with dmx-hue 2 weeks ago

First of all, thank you so much Sinedied!!
For making this very specific and useful tool! I'm prototyping a lighting system commanded by various input methods via qlc+ on a pi4b that controls both dmx theatrical fixtures and many Philips hue bulbs, and this seems to be the ideal solution for combining those worlds!
I've successfully gotten a test system working in the shop, but when I installed my build into the main room, I've been encountering a No Lights Found message that I haven't been able to resolve. I really hope I'm just overlooking something easy 🙃 as I know you're not really supporting this tool at this time- which is totally fair.
The bridge and hue control all work fine using the Hue app. There is a pi4b with qlc+ and dmx-hue on the same network. The only change from shop image I made on the new pi was to edit config.json to point to the IP of the new bridge, but that hasn't worked. When I run dmx-hue or dmx-hue setup, I get the response “No Lights Found.” I hoped that the dmx-hue setup --force command would resolve this issue, but it doesn’t :(
Here's what I'm seeing:
dmx-hue No lights found
dmx-hue setup Bridge configured at 192.168.1.100 No lights found
dmx-hue setup --force No bridge found
dmx-hue setup -i Bridge configured at 192.168.1.100 No lights found
cat config.json { "bridge": "192.168.1.100", "user": "9C0s22mhXJrebQ8sctMeVAkhKU0hGMs2rl1WQOYH", "dmxAddress": 1, "universe": 1, "colorloop": false, "transition": 100, "disabledLights": {} }
