Thanks, please try 1.0.4 in the production

Looks like that took care of it. Now nodes for all 11 bulbs have been created, are showing status and are controllable. Thanks!

I also want to let you know there's some weird grouping situations going on and I'm not sure what it is, but I wanted to show you one of the lights. I cannot add inside the folder for Hugh nodes and then there's two of them that are not in a group inside that folder. I'll circle them on this photo. See if it makes sense to you.Screenshot 2025-10-23 at 10.07.59 PM.heicScreenshot 2025-10-23 at 9.27.15 PM.heic

Also, I get random errors when I try controlling him from the inside the easy

Hey, Hue v2 plugin should be in the Beta store if you are brave enough to try. Not compatible with older v1 API (lights will have different IDs), Hue and Saturation removed from API, there are bugs and crashes :-) I don't have a new Pro bridge yet so testing with my old one.

Alternatively check out `huev2` branch on the Github

This is awesome and hopefully you can work out all issues. I, personally, couldn't get V2 working reliably. I use Hyperion and every time I switch from V1 to V2, always stops working after a while - getting some "ssl timeouts". Developer blamed on "network latency being more strict in ssl" but my hub is hard wired and on the same switch. I don't think there could be any less latency. Could be I have one of the earliest 2nd gen hubs but the firmware is the latest.

Added motion sensor support with 1.0.5 if anyone has those to try out.

I will try tomorrow. Should they show up automatically as new nodes?

On 10/26/2025 at 6:12 PM, xKing said:

yeah, mine also report temperature and luminance so those pop up as 3 separate nodes.

I got the three new nodes, all populating. The temperature shows as Celsius, and I'm in Fahrenheit territory. Any way to change it?

That is how sensor reports it and I just did not mess with it, I can add a secondary variable so it shows Freedom Units as well if you like -)

No, it's okay for my purposes, as I won't use that value in any useful way. I have a leftover WeatherFlow Air unit about fifteen feet away from this sensor that I use for home automation purposes/reporting.

The motion sensor looks to be interesting. With early testing, the response to motion appears to be really fast.

Hello, just wanna give you an update a couple of days ago my Hue stopped working again and I noticed it was on beta so I tried upgrading to the production version and it would not allow me so I ended up having to delete it and currently I cannot re-add it no matter what I do again so I wanted to send you a log and see if you can shed some light on it for me...

Also, I've already paid for the version but now it's saying I need to pay again so I'm kind of confused on that if you can shut some smile on that too would be great thank you

@GSutherland Did it fix your duplicates and the issue where you could not move the device to a folder with the other device? I am seeing the same and it even created a new device under top level tree just under the IoX that I think was a room. Strangely when I tried to move one of them to the HUE folder it would not let me but it did allow me to move it to another folder but instead of moving it, it created a third one. All with the same device address. I'd really like to be able to get this fixed without having to repopulate all scenes and programs with the new duplicate devices. Thank you.

Yeah I have those phantom nodes too, not sure what is it about yet.

@GSutherland you could open a support ticket directly with UD to request a refund. They should be able to locate prior purchase and recent purchase. Might be good if you had an idea of the original date you purchased to include that in the message to support.

Did the brightness setting change as well? I had programs that set it to 254 for full bright and now it is 0 to 100 and I have to go pick 100 now and save or they go to 2%. I will also have to figure out what all my other brightness values that were not 254 are now.

Yes sir, Hue v2 API brightness level is 0-100 now

@xKing Thank you. Should I hold off changing all the programs and scenes until the duplicates are fixed? I don't want to have to do it all over twice.

Can we go back to 0.1,11?

Do you see duplicates if you use web interface? Main menu -> Nodes ? Or is it just Java console issue? You should be able to go back to 0.1.11 if you like, that version is Hue API v1 and no longer supported.

They are in the web interface called the EISY-UI if that's the web interface you mean.  I reinstalled the 0.1.11 plugin and I still have the duplicates but the new ones are the ones not working now.  Before it was the new ones that worked in programs, scenes and manually and not the old ones.  This is a much better outcome for now until a fix can be provided.  I will definitely purchase the new one once the issues are corrected. 

This was the first time I even looked at the EISY-UI. My programs cannot be seen. Just a list of them works. Clicking on one results in a reload button which if you select it you will be told the program does not exist. Does this not work yet?

Thank you!

FWIW, I upgraded to 1.0.7 and everything appears to be good. No duplicates.

@Bumbershoot Are you on 6.0.0? Did you have duplicates before with the HUE plugin 1.0.6? Thank you. I am tempted to delete the duplicates at this point since the old ones are now the ones working and then updating to 1.0.7. I think the extra 35 devices are causing networking issues since I am now getting TCP errors using them manually. Could just be 6.0.0 that caused that issue as well.

I'm on the latest/greatest from UDI, and I've never had the duplicate issue. I upgraded to get the new API, had a problem with the Ambience white bulbs not showing up as nodes, so I did a few install/uninstall cycles as the plugin was updated. Once the issue was fixed, I had to resave the programs that referenced the bulbs, and things have been good since. The plugin has worked both on the trial and standard (paid) versions (1.0.6 and 1.0.7). Having access to the Hue motion sensor is a nice benefit of the upgrade -- the response seems fast, pretty much on par with an Insteon motion sensor.

Looking at my debug log for the plugin, I'm not seeing any errors.
