New Hue component documentation is wrong for more than 1 bridge

Configuration
1

I am having trouble with the new hue component. I currently use two bridges and it has worked great until the .60 upgrade.

The documentation states to use:
hue:
bridges:
- host: BRIDGE1_IP_ADDRESS
filename: phue.conf
- platform: hue
host: BRIDGE2_IP_ADDRESS
filename: phue2.conf

However when I try that I get an error about the ‘- platform: hue’ line. Saying that is not an option.

When I remove that line and use:
hue:
bridges:
- host: 10.1.x.x
filename: mainhue.conf

    - host: 10.1.x.x
      filename: basementhue.conf

It doesnt seem to add all the lights from both bridges. Anyone else have this issue?

(the syntax button seems to be broke if it doesnt show up right please ignore the formatting, Im sure that is not the issue)

@Darbos Hey :wink: I’m a noob and I’ve been playing around with HASS.IO for a few weeks. I too have the same issue, did you manage to find fix/workaround?, all my lights work as expected via two bridges using the Hue IOS app, but not via hass. Some lights are in the wrong room and not on the right bridge.

I’m currently on version 0.60 and using the same config,

In your configuration.yaml

hue:
  bridges:
    - host: BRIDGE1_IP_ADDRESS
      filename: phue.conf
    - host: BRIDGE2_IP_ADDRESS
      filename: phue2.conf

@gbboy thanks for your comment and link the Phillips Hue, but those instructions seen to have induced the issue.
hue:
bridges:
- host: BRIDGE1_IP_ADDRESS
filename: phue.conf
- host: BRIDGE2_IP_ADDRESS
filename: phue2.conf

Makes lights swap between bridges and randomly turn on and off

Sorry I don’t have two bridges to test, it was more in reference to the initial poster having issues getting two bridges up and running. I can’t think of any reason why your lights keep swapping unless your phue.conf files are incorrect. Have you tried deleting them and getting HA to build new ones?

@gbboy … Good idea, no I haven’t tried that yet, but will do tonight. Cheers
