Link Button returns 500 / throws python exception

Support Hue Emulator
1

Hi,
I have my diyHue instance running in Docker on my Pi 4 over a macvlan network. The Container is connected to my IOT Vlan so it has direct access to my HA instance and potentially other “Smart” things. Now if i try to connect either HueEssentials or the official Hue App to diyHue with clicking the “Link App” Button just throws a big red error toast.

Container log snippet (same output whether or not being in debug mode):

[2022-07-29 15:14:17,682] ERROR in app: Exception on /api/570df1040cc811edb7d002420a28ebd6/config [PUT]

If it has anything to do with it: my IOT Vlan has the 10.40.235.0/24 Subnet, 10.207.0.0/24 is my main Vlan.

Thanks for your help

Looks like a UI Error to me.

Have you been able to run diyHue in a other setup successfully?

you need to manually fix the config.yaml file under linkbutton key. You must not press the linkbutton in the HueEssentials app, that is deprecated.

sample code:
