ZigBee, deCONZ ConBee USB, HA can't connect

Since I upgraded to Home Assistant 0.66.0 I can’t connect to my “fake” hue bridge (deCONZ-GW / Conbee).
I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong…(it worked fine before).

My set up:

deCONZ-GW
Vendor dresden elektronik
Product ConBee
Version 2.05.19 / 3/18/2018
Firmware 261F0500

This USB stick is running on a Raspberry Pi with Debian Stretch.

On my main server I’m running Home Assistant - 0.66.0 (as a Docker container).

After opening up the gateway for 60 seconds (tried both via Phoscon App or the other web interface - same result), and after have pressed the “configure” Hue in HA, and the “I have pressed the button” icon, I get this error:

“Unknown error connecting with Hue bridge at 192.168.1.XXX
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/src/app/homeassistant/components/hue/init.py”, line 192, in async_setup
await api.initialize()
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/aiohue/bridge.py”, line 48, in initialize
self.scenes = Scenes(result[‘scenes’], self.request)
KeyError: ‘scenes’”

Any clues?

Have you tried using the deconz component instead of the hue component (which got a rewrite for 0.66).

Doh!
I had no clue that had changed. Wish I would have known that several hours ago… I’ll give it a try, I’m pretty sure this will solve the problem…

Thanks!
