API error 1.59 about homebridge-hue HOT 4 CLOSED

I don’t think the error is related to the firmware version of the Hue bridge. Looks like you have an invalid API key in config.json.

Hi Ebaauw, Im unsure why there would be an error in the .json as it hasn't changed for over a year, could you point to where you think it maybe,
{
"platform": "Hue",
"users": {
"xxxxxxxxxx": "xxxxxxxx"
},
"name": "Hue",
"anyOn": true,
"effects": false,
"lights": true,
"nativeHomeKitLights": true,
"nativeHomeKitSensors": true,
"resource": true,
"wallSwitch": true,
"_bridge": {
"username": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
"port": 54455
}
}

Users and username removed

Edited - should I remove the plugin and reinstall to generate the link/connection again?

Cheers

Maybe the api key was removed from the Hue bridge?

If you edit config.json, and change the bridge id in users (just insert an x at the front, so it's easily reverted), Homebridge Hue should ask you to press the link button so it can obtain a new api key. Then edit config.json to add the new api key.

That appears to have fixed it, thank you Ebaauw
