Hello, I just bought the Homey pro, unfortunately my Hue bridge is not detected when adding from this application: https: [//homey.app/fr-fr/app/nl.philips.hue/Philips-Hue](https://homey.app/fr-fr/app/nl.philips.hue/Philips-Hue) / Do you have an idea to solve this problem? Thanks for your help. ---

What exactly happened. Which steps did you take? You installed the Philips Hue app from Athom. Then it asked for your Hue bridge but did not find anything? Or did you try to connect and it failed? Is your Homey on the same network as Hue? Are there any firewall rules prohibiting the connection? ---

Hello, When I launch the Hue app, it doesn’t find my Hue bridge. Homey and Hue are on the same network. I did the test with my Tahoma, it did find the hue bridge and add the lamps. ---

Is there only a router between Homey and the Hue bridge? If not, can you connect Hue Bridge directly to the router (temporarily), to see if that causes the issue? Does your router support uPNP? Did you try to pull the plug on the Hue bridge for \>30 seconds (\>30 seconds is important). Any lights flashing on the Hue Bridge? All three ligths need to be solid on. [https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp](https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp) when you open this link (provided your phone or pc is on the same network) does it show an ip? Or just “”? ---
