MMM-Hue-Lights - new module for your Philips Hue lights!

[Cain]

i also found that i had to change folder name from

MMM-Hue-Lights to mmm-hue-lights - not sure why but i did.

After the 10mintues when it stops workings. can you then access the debug using the website? Only when the error occurs.

also have you done the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get full-upgrade ?

Ich habe Zugriff über die Webseite , selbst wenn der Spiegel nichts mehr anzeigt.

Alles beides ausgeführt, keine Änderung , geht nach 10 min nicht mehr.

Even after using Hue Developer to access the API debug/clip.html and generate a user string the Magic Mirror displays “please add your hue bridge IP and user to MagicMirror config.js file.”
Has anyone seen anything new on this? Is there a change in the authentication for Hue, maybe something that broke this module?

There shouldn’t be - the Hue API hasn’t been updated in a long time, and both my mirrors are running just fine with this module.

The folder should be mmm-hue-lights - it’s case-sensitive, so MMM-Hue-Lights wouldn’t work.

I installed mmm-hue-lights by default and get the following error message after 5 minutes. Hue API ERROR: Error: Read ECONNRESET. I ask for help with this problem. I’ve already reinstalled everything and it doesn’t help.

Have you tried changing the updateInterval setting to be a higher number than the default? I would suggest trying 10 mins - eg. setting it to 600000

I’ve released a new 1.4.0 version of this module that will hopefully help with the refresh issue - it now automatically reschedules an update, no matter whether there’s an error or not. Thanks to @ulrichwisser for pushing this fix.

Please download the version and see if that solves your issues.

I updated the module and tested it for several hours. The module fails after 45 - 60 minutes (API ERROR) and no longer works.
And not only that, the entire mirror no longer works.
After removing the module from the mirror, the mirror works again.

Can you try running your mirror in dev mode and post some logs?

Would you tell me what to do, I am a layperson and not a professional.

Instead of running npm run start in your Magic Mirror folder to start the mirror, try running npm start dev which will open a browser console next to your mirror instance. Then look for any errors (marked in red) in there.
