[SOLVED] Philips Hue binding issue

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hello everyone,

I spent my afternoon trying to pair Hue Bridge with Openhab, but no success and i don’t understand why…

So i have my jar in addons/org.openhab.binding.hue-1.8.1.jar

My conf in openhab.cfg :

hue:ip=192.168.1.50
hue:secret=pairingKeyForOpenHABSystem2
hue:refresh=10000

And my openhab.log after restart :

I have no trace of Hue, anyone have any idea why?

Thanks you.

Lets start with the basics. Can you ping the IP address of the hue from your OpenHAB server?

Hello,

Yeap i can ping the bridge.

4

Can you access the hue from the philips app and there switch on and off lights from there?

5

Yea that works from API and from android apps

6

Try this command on the openhab server

more /opt/openhab/logs/openhab.log | grep HueBinding

That’s assuming you’ve installed openhab in the folder /opt/openhab/

In 5 mins, i’m reinstalling a clean openhab with the wiki. Thanks u.

Solved after reinstalling Ubuntu VM + openhab.

Thx
