Hue binding generate ERROR message

[henryd]

I have a problem with the hue binding after I’ve updated to OH3. This ERROR shows the log-file:

2021-04-22 17:23:57.355 [ERROR] [y.upnp.internal.UpnpDiscoveryService] - Participant ‘org.openhab.binding.hue.internal.discovery.HueBridgeDiscoveryParticipant’ threw an exception

Have anybody the same problem? In OH2 it works fine.
What does the “contains invalid characters” in the ERROR message mean?

I hope someone can help me.

Hue Binding flooding openhab.log with "ID segment contains invalid characters"

Hi there, troubleshooting some other issues i found the hue binding flooding my events.log. Lines like the one below appear about every 1-2 minutes … I suppose this is not normal? Could this be related to: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/9364 2021-03-01 06:56:41.281 [ERROR] [y.upnp.internal.UpnpDiscoveryService] - Participant ‘org.openhab.binding.hue.internal.discovery.HueBridgeDiscoveryParticipant’ threw an exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ID segment ‘24:A8:…

Yes, I think it’s the same. So I’ll waiting for OH 3.1!
Many thanks and stay healthy!

Did you ever find a resolution to this issue, or hear back from support? my sync box has worked great since day 1(a couple months ago), and now has this issue as of today. this is the first time i’ve used the sync box since the last update a week ago, so maybe that borked something.

In the answer from rossko57 you find a link to the solution in OH3.1. I don’t use Hue emulation, so I can wait.
