Lifx Cloud not connecting following 0.93.1 update

Configuration

Hi guys, this is my first post after a couple weeks of loving hass.io :slight_smile:

I’ve just upgraded to 0.93.1 (from 0.93.0) and my Lifx scenes are no longer working. In the logs i’m seeing this:

2019-05-21 15:36:31 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.upnp] Wanted UPnP/IGD device with UDN "uuid:0a86b0cc-3498-4061-a549-c9e7b0a17eda" not found, aborting

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

The most suspicious line is in my experience usually the last one, with it trying to connect on an SSL port but not using SSL. If this is indeed the issue, do you know how to make it force SSL for this?

I did downgrade back to 0.93.0 and they worked again, but obviously this isn’t ideal!

Any help much appreciated :slight_smile:

If it works in 0.93.0 but not 0.93.1 create an issue:

Sorry, didn’t know the first place to turn. Created the issue now https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/24017

No need for apologies. It’s always wise to check here or discord first, before raising an issue. If you can reproduce the fault in one version of HA and it goes away by reverting to an earlier version it could be due to a breaking change. There were none listed for lifx, so it’s definitely an issue.

So one of the codeowners for Lifx_Cloud responded, saying that he suspected as network (DNS) related issue. I did have a double NAT situation happening in my home, which has never caused any issues with port forwarding etc, however I have never gone so deep with SSL certification as I have with hassio.

So I decided to turn my ISP’s router into bridge mode, thus eliminating the double NAS, then performed the upgrade to 0.93.1 and lo and behold Lifx Cloud connects fine.

Very strange as for sure it worked in 0.93.0.

This is my first post on this forum, but thought I would add.

I also have double NAT (ISP router and Google Wifi)
As well as DuckDNS dyn DNS with SSL

I can confirm I also got this error and resolved it by setting Google Wifi as DMZ, will check if it keeps working after setting it back but thought I would add this info.
