I’m brand new to this, but I’ve exhausted the documentation I can find. Thank you in advance for any help. I have Home Assistant running on one Raspberry Pi 4, and for simplicity, setup diyhue on a second rasperry pi4. I am using the master branch of diyhue I followed the setup instructions here: [Home Assistant — diyHue 1.0 documentation](https://diyhue.readthedocs.io/en/latest/lights/homeassistant.html) And, as far as I can tell, diyhue is seeing some of the lights (I’ve edited out links below since I’m a new poster and discourse rejects my post if I have more than two links): > sudo ./HueEmulator3.py --debug > 2022-01-23 22:01:23,964 - root - INFO - Using Host 192.168.68.89:80 > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,002 - root - INFO - e45f017966f0 > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,002 - root - INFO - IP range for light discovery: 0-255 > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,003 - root - INFO - 127.0.0.1 > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,003 - root - INFO - Online Discovery/Remote API Enabled! > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,005 - root - INFO - Config loaded > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,011 - root - WARNING - Home Assistant Web Socket Client disconnected trying to (re)connect > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,029 - root - INFO - Home Assistant WebSocket Connection Opened > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,029 - root - INFO - Home Assistant Web Socket Client connected > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,031 - root - DEBUG - starting ssdp… > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,032 - root - DEBUG - start ssdp broadcast > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,034 - root - INFO - sync with lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,042 - root - INFO - Home Assistant Web Socket Authorisation required > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,047 - root - INFO - Starting httpd… > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,052 - root - INFO - Home Assistant Web Socket Authorisation complete > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,054 - root - INFO - Starting ssl httpd… > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,066 - urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - Starting new HTTPS connection (1): > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,104 - root - INFO - Found light.backyard\_light > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,104 - root - INFO - Found light.garage\_entry\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,104 - root - INFO - Found light.kitchen\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.great\_room\_pool\_light > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.great\_room\_hallway\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.dining\_room\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.great\_room\_stairs > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.great\_room\_accent\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.library\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.ethans\_bedroom\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.great\_room\_fireplace\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,105 - root - INFO - Found light.colins\_bedroom\_sconces > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,106 - root - INFO - Found light.bedroom\_hallway\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,106 - root - INFO - Found light.master\_bedroom\_main\_lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:24,743 - urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - “POST / HTTP/1.1” 200 6 > {“ok”} > 2022-01-23 22:01:34,064 - root - INFO - gracefully exit > 192.168.68.57 - - [23/Jan/2022 22:01:51] “GET /api/hueess1c7cda11ec9282e45f017966f0 HTTP/1.1” 200 - > 2022-01-23 22:01:53,097 - root - INFO - sync with lights > 2022-01-23 22:01:54,787 - urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - Starting new HTTPS connection (1): [discovery.diyhue.org:443](http://discovery.diyhue.org:443) > 2022-01-23 22:01:55,487 - urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - “POST / HTTP/1.1” 200 6 but, in HueEssentials, I see no lights. I tried to go to 192.168.68.89/diyhue\_ip/scan (the IP of my diyhue pi) and the response I get is: > [{“error”:{“type”:1,“address”:“/diyhue\_ip/scan”,“description”:“unauthorized user”}}] I’m not sure if the last matters, given that it seems to find some lights, but I’m assuming it might since I can’t see the lights in HueEssentials, even though I can connect to the bridge. I expect I’m doing something ignorant here, but really appreciate any thoughts you might have. ---

Welcome! What Branch are you using? What kind of lights do you want to add?
