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

@jasim Yeah, but you must have set it up at some time - for instance, I use pm2 on my mirrors, so I can do pm2 stop mm to stop my magic mirror instance.

@michael5r You have just made my day. After messing about for the best part of a day trying to get the module working, your post has made this module spring to life! I installed via Magic Mirror Package Manager and the folder name had upper and lower case naming. Im going to get a beer now!! lol…

Hey guys,

first off, great module @michael5r, thanks a lot. Unfortunately I have issues getting it to work as soon as I use the displayFilter attribute. Using the default works perfectly fine and shows all my lights. As soon as I only have one specific light in the displayFilter-array, I can only see “Loading…” on my mirror. Config looks fine (below) and logs are identical with default and specified.

Side Note: The light I am calling is “Kugel” which is not an original Hue but Ikea Tradfri. Additionally I have other lights called “Kugel 30er” “Kugel 40er” and “Kugel 60er”. Could this be the source of failure?

Works:

Doesn’t work:

Thanks for help in advance.

I set this up and everything was working wonderfully. I shut down my pi and installed it into my frame with the same screen and now this module is not working but nothing has changed. It loads but I cannot see the module on my MM screen

Hello,

I am currently running in some problems setting up this module.
I accidently wiped my running mm2 installation and had to start from scratch.
Before that it was running just fine with this module.

If it is relevant I first pulled the module inside the “MagicMirror” folder and ran “npm run install” there.
I then removed it again, navigated to the modules and pulled it there via git.

I checked my hue developper account and my user is working
I also checked the IP of my bridge because this had changed before when we had an power outage.
I can ping the IP from my raspi.

I already removed it from the modules folder and pulled it again via git.

My mirror is up and running.
As soon as I put the mmm-hue-lights module settings in the config I just get a black screen. The console gives me the following information and error messages:

  ]
}

my config of the module currently looks like this (I tried working without the additional settings) at the moment only the obligatory ones IP and user:

		{
		module: "mmm-hue-lights",
		position: "top_left", // pick whichever position you want
		config: {
			bridgeIp: "xxxxxx",
			user: "xxxx",
			//updateInterval: 1000,
			//initialLoadDelay: 0,
			//displayType: "grid",
		////	displayFilter: ["all"],
			//minimalGrid: true,
			//displayMode: "lights",
			
			 ////... and whatever else configuration options you want to use
			}
		},

{
    			module: "mmm-hue-lights",
    			position: "top_right",
    			config: {
        		bridgeIp: "XXXXXXXXXXX",
        		user: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    			updateInterval: "1000",
			hideOff: "false",
			displayMode: "groups",
			displayType: "list",
			minimalList: "true",
			coloredList: "true",
			hideFilter: ["home-away"],
			alignment: "right",
		        }
		},

Try this which is working on mine, download the Module again to see if that is the issue copy and past mine in then change it to what you want
