Limitlessled not showing up

Configuration
1

Greetings everybody,

I started using HassIO a few weeks ago and I am having a blast with it. Everything just works. Everything BUT the LimitlessLED integration.

Before I go on, I really don’t think that this is a binding issue.
I have used the limitlessLED app to check my config and it works fine from both the phone app and the limitlessled EXE.
I even created my own hub using the instructions here (http://blog.christophermullins.com/2017/02/11/milight-wifi-gateway-emulator-on-an-esp8266/) and I had no issues getting it to work. Se eventually my plan B could be MQTT.

This is what I have in lights

light:
  platform: limitlessled
  bridges:
    - host: 192.168.0.201
      groups:
      - number: 1
        type: rgbw
        name: Ecran
      - number: 2
        type: rgbw
        name: Plafond
      - number: 3
        type: rgbw
        name: Cuisine
        fade: on
      - number: 4
        type: dimmer
        name: Plafond2

At first, they were showing up under lights, but as I added stuff to my configuration file, they eventually disappeared.
I tried moving the code around with no luck.

I am running

  • HassIO V.68.1
  • PI3

You follow this bit about the ports:

port (Optional): Bridge port. Defaults to 5987. For older bridges than v6 choose 8899.

Petro, YOU ROCK!
That was it.
Looks like that port wasn’t optional after all.

Thank you so much

Chris
