Common Issues

  • Hue bridge not found — FERAL tries discovery.meethue.com then mDNS (zeroconf). If both fail, set HUE_BRIDGE_IP manually (e.g. 192.168.1.42).
  • Hue “link button not pressed” — Press the physical button on the bridge, then run feral setup hue within 30 seconds to register.
  • Home Assistant connection refused — Verify HA_URL (default http://homeassistant.local:8123) and HA_TOKEN (long-lived access token from your HA profile).
  • Entities not showing — Run get_entities first. If HA returns 0 entities, check that the token has the correct permissions.
  • Checking logs — Hue: feral.hardware.hue. Home Assistant: feral.integrations.ha. Set FERAL_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG for full request/response traces.
