I tried with various ways to connect a 3rd party mirror light (villeroy & boch) as well as a glenopto led controller to my bridge, I have various other 3rd party lights attached in the past. The new ones won’t work. I tried it with an Echo hub, there it works just fine.
Now when i try to connect the lights via the essentials app I at least receive some exception from the hue bridge!
The hue app just stops the search with no light found, after it tried to establish the connection.
Here is the screen of the error, probably the bridge returns an html error page instead of a json response but at least we might find the cause with that.
Am I the only one which has problems lately?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I just bought a Tradfri motion sensor from IKEA and haven’t been successful to get it to connect
Did you try it with the Hue Essentials app? Do you also get an error like in the screenshot?
Just keeps saying “No lights found”
There really isn’t a good Audio to Light app for Android. Hue Essntials is OK. But not really good either. Unfortunately it’s the best that Android offers.
THE ONLY APP THAT I HAVE FOUND AFTER MONTHS OF TESTING AND TESTING THAT REALLY REALLY WORKS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO DO. And it was solved so intelligently.
Unfortunately it’s only available for Apple. The app is called “Light And Music” by Rodrigo Yáñez rugoso.com
And I have already programmed DMX light installations that were thought impossible. But this app solves that. the only thing you choose is how you feel right now, so that has an influence. I’ve absolutely loved it for years. you can actually replace any 2nd classic LJ with this app. 
Respect to the Chinese programmer. I didn’t like the selection of apps available either. Then started from scratch and programmed this app. BRILLIANT
