Setting up Hue Sync app (PC) with diyhue

Hi all,

I did experience the same issues when connecting to Hue Sync 1.5 / 1.6.
So I did some network sniffing to see what’s going on.
Might be related to my setup, but what I noticed was that the SSDP responses took too long…

So I did 2 things in my diyhue branch:

  • add an MDNS listener as an alternative to ssdp to discover the diyhue bridge
  • reduce the sleep time of the SSDP

I used the beta branch btw:

I can now work with Hue Sync 1.6 without issues and my Ambilight TV now also detects my bridge (which didn’t work before due to the missed SSDP respones :stuck_out_tongue: )

Grtz!
Thomas
