No bridge found #2

Closed Shane54NZ closed 6 years ago

Shane54NZ commented 6 years ago

I keep getting "No bridge found", regardless of whether I run "dmx-hue setup" or "dmx-hue setup -i192.168.2.100".

I am positive that my bridge's IP is 192.168.2.100: when I point my browser at that IP, it loads the bridge's http page.

Is it possible that this only works with the gen2 bridge? I still have the gen1, the round one.

I'm not sure, I used the node-hue API successfully when I had the v1 bridge before, so it should not be the version. Can you see your bridge with dmx-hue setup -l?

Also, did you try with a space before the IP: dmx-hue setup -i 192.168.2.100?

Super weird - I can ping the bridge and everything, but I keep getting "No bridge found" when I run dmx-hue setup:

Time to restart everything and try again ;-)

Still happening :-(

Is there anything I could do to diagnose what the issue could be? I would really like to get this working.

Thank you kindly in advance.

If you're not currently connected to the same sub-network as your Hue bridge, the UPNP packets used for bridge discovery cannot be received, even though the bridge itself is reachable through ping.

I made a change to allow forcing the bridge IP manually even if it's not detected with UPNP, can you try the 1.3.2 version and tell me if it solves your issue?

And there it is. All works now (other than that Freestyler DMX has a bit of a learning curve, heh) and I'm super grateful that you took the time to give me a hand. Thanks so much! :-)

Nice to know that it fixed your issue 😉
