Hi Guys,
I have used the CoCoHue integration for a long time for some of the Hue thingys I use. I now needed to reset the Hue Bridge after which the CoCoHue app stopped working as expected. After a few tries it asked if I wanted to connect to the new bridge which I indidcated I did, and it seemed like it conencted. But unfortunately when I run the CoCoHue app and want to find lights, it never gets past the 'Disovering bulbs /lights.' screen. Any thoughts?
Cheers,

Do you still have the old bridge device and lights on your devices page? I suspect it might be trying to create a bridge using the same DNI and failing.
Not sure if @bertabcd1234 knows a way to reconnect it to the already created bridge and devices or if you will need to just delete it all and start over. The bad part about deleting any of it is that any other apps or rules linked to the lights would get broken and have to be fixed one by one.
Or maybe it fell back onto the devices already there and its all working, you just have not noticed?

Did you reset your entire Hue Bridge, including needing to re-add all lights and re-configure rooms, zones, etc.? If so, it's basically an entirely different Bridge as far as any integration would be concerned, including CoCoHue, and I'd suggest just setting it up like new again. I don't see any advantage to trying to re-use the existing install since every bulb/light, group, etc. would be different anyway.
I don't see anything odd in your logs, aside from the missing MAC address, but that might just have been me messing up that log line (it definitely fetched the ID since it's in the app name).

Thanks for your input @bertabcd1234 and @bertabcd1234 ,
@jtp10181 , Sorry for not describing the situation well enough, it is one and the same Hue Bridge that after a network issue lost it's internet connection. A common bug in that situation apparently. The remedy recommended by Philips Hue support was a reset of the bridge hub. So yes, @bertabcd1234 , it was a full reset resulting in a complete new setup of the bridge hub. And no, all previous CoCoHue setup is gone, the issue now is that even if CoCoHue has found the new bridge, it doesn't seem to find any of the newly setup items in the Hue bridge. I'll uninstall the CoCoHue integration and reinstall it, and treat the situation as a new install. Thanks.
