I totally did NOT see the missing module ‘request’ right at the Beginning.
Now the mirror starts… the module is stuck on loading but I will figure it out ;D

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

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
			}
		},

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.

Was soll ich machen?

Sorry, what should I do?

npm start dev

npm start dev

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.

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

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 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 ?

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

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.
