node-red-contrib-huemagic: Error requesting from the bridge

After the update I get the following entries in the node-red log:

HUE Bridge Version BSB002 / 1.50.1950111030 Node Red Version 2.2.0

All scenes and/or lamps can only be switched sporadically.

Is it now a mistake or did I go about it the wrong way?

The previous version with the workaround worked stable for me. Whereby I use exclusively the switching of scenes and groups.

Feel happy,

I can only share your opinion and I have also used the hue node for a relatively long time. But after an update on the hue bridge, I had massive problems with the hue node. But since I only turn lights on and off or set scenes, I decided for the moment to solve it via http request and server side events.

Here my repository for https HUE API V2. It’s just a flow with everything you need. https://github.com/andesse/node-red-hue-api.v2-flows

@VisualReversal

Find out your motion sensor endpoint Id and do it like this Hope this helps

@sanderboele just change to https requests. The HUE api has changes on every bridge firmware release, HueMagic might cannot keep up so fast with updates. But using the standard V2 commands for lights / groups / motion / button endpoints just works great. If you need help to setup a flow, I can help out.

@davidcreager: I’ve created a repo to help you getting started: https://github.com/ptweety/node-red-development.

Just get npm@v8, clone this repo, navigate to the packages subfolder, also clone node-red-contrib-huemagic inside there and back in the root execute npm i

@davidcreager:

are you familiar with npm workspaces? If no, I would recommend looking into this and try to setup a local dev environment using the same.

mmmh I wonder if running node-red in Docker causes the problem. sigh I guess I will try standalone when I get time

i have the same problem that appears some times and i’m not in Docker

So Very weird, I applied the pull request to change the catch and now seems to be working much better , No errors thrown

I’ll leave it running and see how it goes

8 hours later I get the same problem, with no difference in the log (ie the messages are the same, the change to api.js does not appear to have changed this)
