diyHue Add-on

MaxBec92 · August 21, 2021, 6:18am

Hey Sean,

it is the mac-address of your pi. i will add a clarification.

foxy82 · August 21, 2021, 6:26am

Yeah I run it on a server hence phrasing it that way

ManImCool · August 21, 2021, 9:30pm

Thanks! After steps 5/6 I successfully added the bridge to HUE Essentials, but when I tried to do the same to the native Hue app, it connected but then said there was a mandatory update for the bridge. Is this normal and we’re supposed to let it update? Or should we ignore for now, at least at step 5/6, because an official Phillips update will break diyHue?

Searching for “mandatory update” gave me no results. Once again I find myself being the dum-dum where the unique things either only happen to me, or are presumptions not written in any instructions that everyone but me knows.

keithcroshaw · August 24, 2021, 1:43pm

I had the same thing.
I think it happened when Hue updated their app.
I don’t want to speak for the diyHue dev, and definitely not the add-on creator, but I don’t think there’s a fix for that to get it to think it’s up to date yet.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I spent a lot of effort trying to get this all to work, and I finally did but the speed of color changes was extremely slow, 95% of commands failed, and I could never turn the lights off from Hue Essentials or iConnectHue.

Clearly this is all working well enough for some folks who spent all of this effort to make all of this, but for me the end result was worse than just creating animations in Node-Red, which is a pain.
I switched my actual Zigbee lights back to the real Hue bridge.

ManImCool · August 30, 2021, 4:11am

That sucks if that’s truly the case. If true though, wouldn’t more people have come in here and asked for troubleshooting? Or are you saying the issues are primarily for new diyhue users trying to get set up, and that older diyhue users that were set up before Philips changed to the new app still have their setups working just fine?

Out of curiosity, what non-Hue bulbs are you using with your real Hue bridge? Are you flashing any custom firmware or do they work out of the box? I have a few Gledopto bulbs but am not crazy about them.

keithcroshaw · August 30, 2021, 1:49pm

Probably? I think if you had set things up before they rolled out their fancy new app they would probably keep working as they were. I think most people are using third party apps which don’t care about firmware updates like Hue Essentials. I was using iConnectHue.

No bulbs, controllers. I use the Gledopto LED controllers to take non zigbee LEDs that are cheap on Amazon and the form factor I want, splice the wires into this thing and tada, it’s in the Hue ecosystem.
Gledopto used to be a cheaper solution, but they’re kind of realizing they can charge near Hue prices for various reasons.

Hey !

I would like to inform you that the diyhue addon has now moved to the official repo and is officially supported and maintained.

https://github.com/diyhue/hassio-addon

MSmithHA · January 12, 2023, 2:21am

When I attempt to install the Add-On, it gives the error:

Failed to install Add-On
The command '/bin/bash -o pipefail -c mv /diyhue/BridgeEmulator/web-ui/ ./web-ui/' returned a non-zero code: 1

Any suggestions?

Hello, I have followed the instructions in this video to the letter, however…, when it comes to looking for lights, I have no results. I have several Ikea and Philips Hue bulbs. Some are configured in Home Assistant, others are not (connection search mode). I don't see any errors when I launch the addon : ![Capture d’écran 2023-09-04 à 19 49 52](https://github.com/diyhue/hassio-addon/assets/144055103/fdc94569-9181-4d29-979f-ff185afc0de1) I also tried searching for my lights from the Hue app, but as said in the video, gray screen. I also tried from Hue Essentials, no lights found. Could someone please help me? I answer questions if you want more information on how I do it or my setup. Thanks

Hey everyone, I’m having an issue when generating the certificate.

With the mac configured, at first startup it just says:

Reinstalled a few times, some of them also cleared the diyhue folder that it creates under /config

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch everyone

Has anyone had issues where as soon as you add lights (from HA) into DiyHue, it ceases to work?

u20p17 · November 8, 2023, 7:27am

Yes, I have the same issue… As soon as I add HA to DIYHue the lights go on/offline all the time and in the log I get the following warnings:

Hello! Been using DIYHUE on HA through HACS for over a year, no issues. tried to update twice to 2.0.10, but it refuses to start after the update.

anyone else experiencing this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was running DiyHue for a while, and since a complete rebuild(replaced Pi with VM), i can’t get this to work.

All of the HA lights appear offline, it seems to be that when the lights are off, they are offline:

Same issue here - Not sure when the issue started but I believe it was probably something that broke from a recent HA update.

Hi,

Did you have any luck solving the issue? Having the exact same error myself.

JoelyMoley · July 5, 2024, 1:03pm

same issue here, for me it appears to be my hue gradient lights, whenever I attempt to add them as LXC00X lights, i cannot connect using the hue app, if I reboot diyhue it appears to crash on boot. Did you find any solution? starting to wonder if making the jump was actually a good idea

Mark_Crummett · July 6, 2024, 8:26pm

I gave up in the end and just built a light dashboard I liked enough to use in the HA app. Too many issues to bother sadly

JoelyMoley · July 9, 2024, 12:56pm

yeah im considering putting my gradient lights back onto an official hue hub for the sake of my own sanity… shame really…
