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

jasim

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.

@jasim You need to be in the folder of your Magic Mirror installation when you run these commands.

@jasim You already have another instance of Magic Mirror running (that’s the EADDRINUSE error) - you’ll need to stop that before running npm start dev. How do you normally start/stop your mirror?

jasim

Ich starte den Spiegel automatisch wenn der pi hochfährt.
Wie stoppe ich EADDRINUSE Fehler.

michael5r

@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.

Was soll ich machen ?

@jasim Sorry, I don’t speak German - can you please post in english?

@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

@sdetweil Thank you.

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
