Errors adding Orsam Lightify light strips #236

I have two lights checked within the config (ORSAM Lightify Flex RGBW), but when I try to run Homebridge, it throws the following error: [2018-1-30 14:59:01] Loaded plugin: homebridge-smartthings [2018-1-30 14:59:01] Registering platform 'homebridge-smartthings.SmartThings' [2018-1-30 14:59:01] --- [2018-1-30 14:59:02] Loaded plugin: homebridge-synology [2018-1-30 14:59:02] Registering accessory 'homebridge-synology.Synology' [2018-1-30 14:59:02] --- [2018-1-30 14:59:02] Loaded config.json with 1 accessories and 1 platforms.

Any thoughts here? When I go to check the device results within the SmartApp they show up perfectly fine.

Since Osram Lightify devices can be added to a Philips Hue Bridge and since the Philips Hue Bridge is a native HomeKit capable system is there a need to use HomeBridge in this case?

See https://www.any-lamp.com/blog/Breaking-News-Philips-HUE-bridge-is-compatible-with-Osram-lamps

However there is one wrinkle - see https://developers.meethue.com/comment/1725#comment-1725 You can apparently re-flash the lamps from US to EU standard to make them compatible - see https://community.smartthings.com/t/osram-lightify-bulbs-connect-to-hue-or-smartthings/79767/4

You will still be able to use the Philips Hue and the Osram lamps with Smartthings as well.
