Let's start over with your Hue bridge discovery issue. You have said in this thread, that you don't have any apps installed.
Do you mean other than the Hubitat "Hue bridge integration" app? You need that. Discovery of the bridge isn't the same as a Z-Wave or Zigbee devices in Hubitat. Is that point understood? It's an important difference. If it's not installed, please do the following...
- In your Hubitat UI, click on the word Apps on the left
- Click the +Load New App button at the top right of the Apps page
- Halfway down the list, choose "Hue Bridge Integration"
- Follow the wizard from there. While you're waiting (Up to five minutes for discovery), walk over to your Hue Bridge a press the middle button once, just briefly. No need to hold it).
Let me know if you've been here before. If not, then we're now headed in the right direction. If you have and it didn't work, then let me next hear what devices you have (i.e. Modem/Router and who your ISP is, and connected devices to the ISP modem router).
Look at the layout from the perspective of internet coming into your house and traveling in a straight line from internet to device until you get to the end. I realize it doesn't exactly work like that, but it will help when troubleshooting to think of a logical progression from one, to the next (outside to inside).
It absolutely does. Best not to let frustration get in the way. We will get this working. Logic will prevail, if we take it one step at a time.
