Error in get_light_objects about phue HOT 6 CLOSED

Perhaps your API key isn't valid anymore. Try deleting the .python_hue file and doing the registration/button push again

from phue.

I think I've figured it out. I'm not totally sure what happened to make it stop working but giving the bridge a username as part of the bridge init (which in phue.py says is optional, and is not used in examples). In the past whenever there was an update I would just get an error telling me to push the button and then it would work, this time I actually had to put in the username. Did some API change or is this just my computers being weird?

It's probably because your api key got deleted in the bridge after the update.
you should be getting an error message however.... I'll look into it.
Does it work now without providing a username ?

I actually changed the bridge init method because I didnt want to go though and change all my scripts.

# def __init__(self, ip=None, username=None):
    def __init__(self, ip=None, username="newdeveloper"):

when I change back to username=None, I get the error above. I remember throwing in some prints to debug what might be the problem (wish I had logged them!) and remember seeing somewhere that it was trying to interact with the bridge using some seemingly random username (along the lines of /api/asd6sdf6876sdf/...). I dont know if this helps at all but it would explain the error above since it a random username would be invalid. I actually figured out it was a username issue originally by printing the light object from the error above (before crashing) and got this output:

{u'error': {u'type': 1, u'description': u'unauthorized user', u'address': u'/lights'}}

I dont know if that helps at all... I'm not much of a python developer, I mostly work with AVR micros so this is mostly just me fumbling around.

Having this same issue, after not running my script for a long time

debug info:

>>> b.get_api()
[{u'error': {u'type': 1, u'description': u'unauthorized user', u'address': u'/'}}]

That worked, thanks! I just had to push the button again too. Otherwise, I got this error:
