No lights anymore with 5.5.8. Will disable automatic updates, because it seems that it is no testing before release. ---

This is bullshit, because the latest update for hue bridge was April 4th. From Aprilt 4th till April 16th my lights were working fine. They stopped working after the Homey update for the Hue app from 3 hours ago. ---

Because Hue has disabled a discvoerymethod for the Hue Bridge. They announced this back in 2021. Athom missed it. " As per today, we **deprecate UPnP** as a local bridge discovery method, scheduled to be **disabled in Q2 2022**." Therefore, reverting the Homey app will not change the outcome. > **[New Hue API - Philips Hue Developer Program](https://developers.meethue.com/new-hue-api/)** > > Dear developers, Big news: Philips Hue is releasing early access to a completely new version 2 of the Hue API, which includes popular feature requests such as dynamic scenes, gradient entertainment technology, and proactive state change events on the... ---

It would not have mattered in this case. The change was on the Hue side. Athom missed it. ---

But the last update for the hue bridge was April 4th? Between April 4th and Today my lights worked fine. They stopped working after the update of the hue app in homey from 4 hours ago ---

Have the same problem - bridge can’t be found since the homey hue app was updated a few hours ago. ---

@Peter_Kawa chat from another topic says it’s about hue and ahtom just comes late with it. and the message from the status page of @I_am_who explained a lot just have to be patient. Can you extract the backups and install the previous app ? ---

It’s the online Hue API. Afaik Homey connects through the online API to the Hue Bridge. I found this out when my internet was down. ---

It is not related to the update. It is related to a change by Hue. Restoring the app is useless therfore. ---

So why would hue deprecate something in the middle of the month? Why not April 1st, which is the start of q2. Strange story. ---

I don’t know their deployment schedule. It might as well check out. Athom seems to think so, see status page. ---

I know they do, but the timing for turning pf upnp discovery on April 20th is strange. While at the same moment homey released a new version of the app 3 hours ago. I have a feeling Occam’s razor is applicable.
