Adding Hue Sync Box

Support
1

Hello Everyone,

Newbie here. I just complete the bridge emulator setup via home assistant, added my bridge and able to find my lights in DIY Hue. I also have a sync box that connected to my tv but I don’t know how to connect that to the DIYHue bridge.

I saw that I need the token in one discussion on gitHub and able to get that.

Can someone point out the direction that I need to take for the next steps?

Also, I found this script on Reddit yesterday night to automate the access token reading.

I could not find the original link to it but I am pasting it here anyway so someone else can use it.

import requests
import json
from time import sleep

url = "https://192.168.68.113/api/v1/registrations"
data = { 
"appName": "DiyHue",
"appSecret": "MDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDAwMTExMDA=", 
"instanceName": "DiyHue" 
}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
while True:
    sleep(1)
    r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers, verify=False)
    if r.json().get('accessToken') != None:
        print("Your accessToken is " + r.json().get('accessToken'))
        break

Hi, unfortunately its hard to make something if you dont have the device, this is a recurring question but the devs of diyhue (including me) dont have the device or know someone with the device.
If you live near me or Marius(the master mind of diyhue) and are willing to lend it to us then we can do something but i doubt that we are that close.

I’m around Los Angeles. Let me know if someone from the dev team close to me. I would love to lend it, for sure.

Unfortunately we are in Europe.

Ohh, I’m sorry. Didn’t know that.
