homebridge-hue: Error initializing homebridge

Issue

I added some more lights, restarted the homebridge and now I get this error. I see something related to PiHole blocking a resource, but I can’t understand which URL is being blocked… Also, I always get an error for https://dresden-light.appspot.com/, even before I installed PiHole.

I tried to disable PiHole and run sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart to flush the DNS cache but I get the same error.

“There’s no place like 127.0.0.1” (it means, “home”. Your Homebridge server, in this case). 💃

No, host means the ip assigned to your hue bridge. You can get it with nmap or avahi-browser or you can get it accessing to your Hue app – Settings – Hue bridges.

Now I have a lot of nasty false sensors detected by Homebridge (@ebaauw), but that’s fo other thread, I think. 😄

I guess it’s a bit of an edge case

Yes, but that shouldn’t cause homebridge-hue to prevent homebridge from starting. I think I found the issue. Fixed in v0.5.66.

In the mean time, you can specify your Hue bridge in config.json, under the "host" key, to disable discovery of bridges/gateways.
