Working on multiple emulated_hue instances

Development
88

I stopped it from booting

89

Not sure if you were able to resolve this.

If not, you should try running HA as root or sudo.

Port 80 requires privilege. This should show up as an error when the port is being bound during HA startup.

90

Never tried that. I have installed Hass in virtual environment as per instruction on AIO install

91

Is this error from emulated_hue at port 80?

17-02-26 09:33:16 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.http] Failed to create HTTP server at port 80: [Errno 13] error while attempting to bind on address (‘192.168.1.239’, 80): permission denied

92

Here’s an issue thread talking about this problem.

They mention updating the documentation. So, then I went and looked and yes indeed there is a section of the HA emulated_hue documentation that refers to this solution:

still nothing in GH app … The app had a major change in view, is yours still working?

EDIT It works, had to unlink the Hue hub, and relink. Is working.

Will try now more then 49 devices

95

Relinking is getting annoying! had to relink twice last week :frowning:.

It wouldn’t be so bad but adding all the devices to their corresponding rooms again is slightly annoying :stuck_out_tongue:

96

So far is stable.

Just to let you know that I am seeing this error in my log…

17-03-10 18:06:37 ERROR (Thread-4) [custom_components.emulated_hue] hue livingroom
17-03-10 18:06:37 ERROR (Thread-4) [custom_components.emulated_hue] hue masterbedroom
17-03-10 18:06:37 ERROR (Thread-4) [custom_components.emulated_hue] hue office

No big deal though. Everything still works fine. Wondering is it something can be fixed or I can safely ignore it.

98

Sorry - I used a debug log marked as “ERROR” so I could easily see it go by on my terminal. It shoes up as red text. This is just notifications. I’ll update the code on git later today.

Hi,

I made a new installation of hassbian, and I am having problem with your component (my fault).

Can you help me out?

I have this error in log

my fault I did not copy all the files in the custom_components.
Now Alexa works fine. I do have a problem with Google Home, it does not learn anything from emulated_hue.

Maybe I did something wrong, how to troubleshoot?

101

Too bad it stopped working

102

for google I should put 80?

103

Now in HASSBIAN the solution is not working??

pi@hassbian:~ $ sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep'  /srv/homeassistant/bin/python3
Failed to set capabilities on file `/srv/homeassistant/bin/python3' (Invalid argument)
The value of the capability argument is not permitted for a file. Or the file is not a regular (non-symlink) file
pi@hassbian:~ $
104

In hassbian installation I did this, and it works!!!

sudo setcap ‘cap_net_bind_service=+ep’ /usr/bin/python3.4

Cool - I’m glad it worked out.

106

This needs to be added to the component page - finally got everything working when I found this! Using the Hasspian 1.1 image.

107

I just need to copy these 4 files into my custom_components directory and then hue1, hue2 should work?

Yes, now I can’t check, but yes under custom_components
Also check my previous message if you have hassbian, some messages before if you have AIO
