[SOLVED] OH2.4 Hue binding - user name does not appear to log file after bridge thing is added and authorization button is pressed

Add-ons Bindings
3

I found a workaround on youtube: OpenHab Tutorial 5.1 (Deutsch) Philips Hue

  • Take your browser, open <your-huebrige-ip>/debug/clip.html
  • The Clip API Debugger opens.
  • Enter /api in the url field
  • Enter {"devicetype":"openhabhuebinding#openhab"}
  • Press the pairing button on the bridge, then press “POST” in the debugger
    A JSON answer will appear, containing the cryptic user name value.
  • Now take the username and enter it in the hue bridge configuration in PaperUI.

This will bring the bridge online in OpenHAB.

Hope this helps someone,
Oggerschummer
