Trying to get emulated_hue to work outside of Alexa

Configuration
1

Hey guys,
I would love to use my emulated hue lights outside of Alexa as well. I’ve seen it working through my Logitech Harmony Hub, but I really need it to get it work with the ios App “iConnectHue” because it is able to program Hue dimmer switches very freely which is extremely cool.

The developer said that their app only uses Port 80 for the “Hue Bridge” connection discovery, so I tried changing the port by using this in my configuration:

emulated_hue:
  listen_port: 80

When I did that, my Alexa can’t control my emulated lights anymore and also the “iConnectHue” app still can’t find anything.
Any idea what could have been wrong?

Thank you so much!! :slight_smile:

I think you are making a bold assumption that emulated hue will work for iConnectHue.

Sure, there is no guarantee for that, but if it works in the Logitech Harmony Hub, I saw potential why it shouldn’t also work in other apps since it just emulates a Hue Bridge.
