I purchased a 3rd hue bridge and I was going to add it to Habitat. When I go to the apps tab and I click on the Add Built in App button and choose the Hue Bridge Integration app it does not create a new instance of the app it opens up one that I already have. I need help. I can't figure out how to create a new instance of the app for my third bridge.
Hmm... That is odd, it does specifically say in the documentation that you need to install an additional instance of the app on HE for any additional bridges.
I do wonder if you need to run the Discover Hue Bridges option, but am not sure if that may mess with your existing setup...
What platform version of HE are you running and are you trying to use the updated Hue integration with status updates and alike?
Do you have the other two bridges setup in HE already?
I see a change made to a bunch of integration apps a while back that would do this. This one was missed with the fix. Looking into it...
(In the meantime, if you're in a time crunch, 2.4.1 will probably still work for this and 2.4.0 definitely would; I would not go beyond that.)
I am running 2.4.2.143. The new hub does show up in my list but changing to that hub would just change the hub in that instance which don’t want to do. I just don’t see any way of adding a new instance for the new hue hub. Yes I do have 2 instances of the app that I setup some time ago.
Cool let me know what you find
The problem with running multiple Hue hubs is that they can interfere with each other and with the Zigbee channels on Hubitat. They also share the 2.4 gHz band with WiFi and Bluetooth, so the fewer the devices, the less chance of interference.
It's a bug, fix is coming.
