I am trying to setup the Hue Emulation Service - without success.
I can see the openHab Hue Emulation in the inbox and I can add it to “Things”. But it is offline. Or, to be precise, it switches its status all the time. The icon behind the thing is switching constantly between the grey offline icon and the green online icon.

I installed the service via the Paper UI, I configured the service according to the documentation (at least I gave my best to do so). I’ve read all topics regarding problems with the hue emulation service (this one comes close, but wasn’t anwesered: https://community.openhab.org/t/hue-emulation-harmony-hub-wont-link/39580, I changed ports to 80, I even installed openhab on my Synology (same result, hue emulation service is offline, so the possibility is high that I made an error regarding the configuration).
Setup: openHABian 2.4. on a Raspberry Pi 2
Is there something I’m missing or something I’m not doing correctly? Any tips are appreciated.
Same here. And I had it set up and running on OH 2.5.4
Today after I asked Alexa to control a Device, it responds with: “‘Device’ isn’t responding. Please check its network connection and power supply. That applies to every singe device connected through hue emulation."
I decided to remove one of these devices in the alexa app and had it rediscovered. But it was never found again. Tried that several times. I than removed the thing and uninstalled hue emulation. Restarted openhab2, installed hue emulation and added the openHAB Hue Emulation thing from inbox and paired it.
Noticed that the bridge switches from ONLINE to OFFLINE constantly:

I have it running again. I restored a backup that I created after
[Alexa: “‘Device’ isn’t responding . Please check its network connection and power supply . That applies to every singe device connected through hue emulation."]
and before I uninstalled hue emulation.
But I still don’t know what caused Alexa saying that in the first place.
