Here is an update to this issue. I thought I was crazy not being able to solve this issue. But it turns out it was a bigger problem.

I contacted Khimo and after a few e-mails back and forth I got this answer from them:

Hello Miki, We found out Philips Hue made some changes on the discovery method which we have not detected before you reported this issue. We have to make some changes in the driver in order to fix this, but this might take some time.

Meanwhile they connected to my BLI and were able to temporarily reconnect the BLI and the Hue Bridge somehow. So for now it is working for me and Khimo will release an update.

Thanks everyone for trying to help me with this issue.

Sorry for asking for more help but I just can’t get it to work.

I have set Philips Hue to IP 192.168.0.148 and the BLI has IP 192.168.0.149. Still doesn’t work.

Can it be something else than the IP address? Both the Hue Bridge and the BLI work flawlessly separately.

I guess I could remove Philips Hue as a device from my BLI and reconnect as a new one but then I assume I will lose all the programmed lights and my scenes. It is possible to somehow save all the settings in the BLI and to apply them when reconnecting the Hue bridge?

Ok. I’m starting to understand but still no success.

Using Fing as you suggested, helped me finding the BLI IP-adress.

I changed the network settings of the Hue Bridge to manual and entered the same IP-adress as the BLI.

When I do that however, the two devices seem to have a conflict with each other. The BLI is constantly losing connection and is reconnecting all the time.

What am I doing wrong…?

Thank you for your answers!

I must be doing something wrong though. I’m not so good at these things…

I know how to set a specific IP-address for the Hue bridge. But how do I find out which IP-address the BLI is using?

The BLI is set on Function 4 (Set network settings to use DHCP). I tried Function 3 (Set network settings to fixed IP (192.168.1.10)) but then it wouldn’t connect at all.

Hello everyone,

First of all a big thank you to Lee and Keith of course.

I didn’t become a Gold member because of the prize draw but it was a very nice bonus. Winning the B&O Vintage Matchbox Delivery Van was a very happy day for me!

I would prefer if the prize draws continue. Annually or if possible bi-annually. I also wouldn’t mind to pay more for the Gold membership.
