Common Issues
- Hue bridge not found — FERAL tries
discovery.meethue.comthen mDNS (zeroconf). If both fail, setHUE_BRIDGE_IPmanually (e.g.192.168.1.42). - Hue “link button not pressed” — Press the physical button on the bridge, then run
feral setup huewithin 30 seconds to register. - Home Assistant connection refused — Verify
HA_URL(defaulthttp://homeassistant.local:8123) andHA_TOKEN(long-lived access token from your HA profile). - Entities not showing — Run
get_entitiesfirst. If HA returns 0 entities, check that the token has the correct permissions. - Checking logs — Hue:
feral.hardware.hue. Home Assistant:feral.integrations.ha. SetFERAL_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUGfor full request/response traces.
