Hi guys,
I just installed OH via apt-get on the latest version of Rasbian for my PI. Everything has been a breeze to setup thus far, however, I’m having problems with something simple—Upon first setting up the HUE hub, I used my android app to pair. I just wanted to do this to see if the system worked. I haven’t setup any lights via the app yet, just paired it.
So, I go to pair the HUB with openhab and I’ve done the perfunctory uncommenting of the 3 values in the openhab.cfg file:
hue:ip=10.0.0.18
hue:secret=openHABRuntime
hue:refresh=10000
However, I’m receiving the following messages when I tail -f the log file:

My question is this: Did I screw something up by initially pairing the HUB with my phone? I’ve turned off wi-fi on my phone and even did a factory reset of the HUB to try to re-pair, but the 3 lights on the HUB always light up as if it’s already cycled through a pair. The pair button on the HUB doesn’t even respond as the light around the button and the 3 lights below it are already lit.
I know my IP address is correct as I can see the HUB in the router gateway software UI.
What am I missing here??
FYI: I’ve seen this thread concerning HUE binding and I don’t think it addresses my problem: https://github.com/openhab/openhab/pull/4311
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
