Hue gen 2 bridge pairing error

Trying to bind the gen 2 Hue bridge but get a pairing error. I’ve searched the forum but see no specific fix other than use OH 1.8.

org.openhab.binding.hue-1.8.3.jar

hue:ip=192.168.0.11
hue:secret=pairingKeyForOpenHABSystem
hue:refresh=10000

It appears to detect the button press but returns this error:

You should try and use the 1.9.0 snapshot version of the binding:

https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB1-Addons/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bundles/binding/org.openhab.binding.hue/target/org.openhab.binding.hue-1.9.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

AFAIK this version has addressed the pairing issues.

Have you seen this thread:

This snapshot did work. Thanks!!
