hue bridge replacement

[SMartinez]

noob here, I had to replace my Hue bridge and my node install doesn't detect the new one.  Logs show it pointed to the old ip address and "Can't contact Hue Bridge. Network communication issue." is there a way to reset the old info I tried uninstalling rebooting re installing and nothing works.

Did you do the replace function in the hue app or simply added your devices to the new bridge

I may be missing something I have only ever loaded (Node Dashboard) and configured with the isy. Since it failed I just added my lights back into the new bridge.  Is there a portal page (port) from the polyglot?

 

thanks

If anyone can point me in the right direction really not wanting to wipe everything and start fresh kinda defeats the purpose of the uninstall option.

Hue has made a way to transfer settings from one bridge to another which wouldve retained the settings from your old setup. The ISY/nodeserver has nothing to do with this. Since you manually set up your new bridge, you have a completely new setup. Unfortunately, you will have to start over with adding the new bridge to your setup.

Before re-doing everything, I would take photos or copy your current programs/scenes so you know where everything would need to go
