Unable to link hue bridge

Support
1

Hi all,

I’m running Diyhue on HA with a rpi3 and a sonoff 3.0 E dongle.
I’ve installed diyhue and edited the config with the MAC address of my pi, set debug to true, and true for no-serve-https (not sure if this is corrrect).
My HA address is my pi address with 8123 port. My diyhue address is the pi address.

When I open the hue app or essentials app, it discovers the bridge. When I click the link button, it comes up with an error in the hue app that blinks so fast I can’t read it.

This is the debug log:

Hi, please check your timezone setting in the webui, also after your post there have been updates so update first.
“no-serve-https” is if port 443 is not available for diyhue, it is better to leave it disabled(false).
If the error still blink on the screen maybe you can de a screen recording.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I got the bridge up and running! I now have a secondary issue - I cannot find the .json file to edit the emulator and add my lights.
I have an LED strip connected to a zigbee controller. MQTT/Z2M i successfully setup in home assistant. My light is currently connected and running.
How to i add my light? The light is not autodiscovered from the web UI.
I tried to login via SSH and the diyhue directory contains config.yaml and config.tar, but not config.json.
