Hello, I’m new to diyHue. I have a the Problem, that the Hue APP did not find the diyHue bridge. I use a Raspberry 1 with 8GB SD. First I install 2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite with ssh support. Then I follow the instrustions for host installation of diyHue. I tried to connect via APP to the bridge, but the APP did not find it. I also tried to typ in the IP adress in under the help button, but didn’t work. I closed the APP an cleard the cache, but it doesn’t helped. I can see the web GUI of the diyHue and I can also find the diyHue bridge in the APP Hue Essentials. Also I can connect from the diyHue web Gui to the Hue bridge and grab the informations of the lamps in my Hue system. But after that I can not see the lamps in the diyHue Gui, but the information are in the config.json. In the APP Hue Essential the bridge and the grabed Lampinformations are available. But I can not turn a lamp on. I press a button and the light flashes shortly up. I also changed the port of Deconz to 8081. But it doesn’t fix it. Has someone a hint for me? Thanks a lot. ---

Hello, topic can be closed. First I had to reinstall the Hue APP. After that I found the Bridge, but the APP wants to update the diyHue bridge. I put the new SW version in the config.json. After that all worked. I fetch the data from the Hue bridge and integrat it into the diyHue bridge. ---

There is automatic swupdate function build it, but because this broke Hue Sync compatibility we don’t apply it. ---

Where did you find the config.json file? I installed user the docker method and there is no /opt/diyhue folder I also did a search for this file using the raspberrypi VNC filesystem search function ---

I think I used the command to export the configuration and it showed up under mnt
