Hue integration not working on startup

[foxy82]

Hi,

My hue integration seems to sometimes fail at start up and so no lights are loaded. Here is a log of the start up on debug but it isn’t very helpful. This is happening quite often and I have to restart home assistant multiple times to get it up and running. E.g. this morning it finally worked on my third restart.

Bad log:

I’ve had the same issue for a while. I continue to have to reboot 3,4,5 times before it works…

Issue with Hue

For the last couple HA versions, I have an intermittent issue with Hue on load/boot. I’ll get a note in the logs that reads: Config entry for hue not ready yet. Retrying in 5 seconds. And the Hue integration will not work. The issue can be fixed with a restart (sometimes 2-3 restarts) of Hue. My config is basic: hue: bridges: - host: 192.168.1.105 allow_unreachable: true My Hue hub is connected to the same router as my Hassio Pi. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?

I’m still getting this with 103.0

Is there really only two of us with this problem? It seems so unreliable I can’t believe it’s just us?

Had this issue too for ages. If you want to avoid restarting, just remove the hue integration and add again, on the Integrations page. Even better, get a conbee stick and get rid of the hue hub altogether, it works SO much better.

Just saw this thread researching why I’m having the same issues. So there’s certainly more than two of you.
