I’ve tried to link my Hue Bridge v1 but I am unable to do this. It’s discovered fine, but as soon as I press the link button, I get a message that there is no internet connection.
Does this have anything to do with the end of service of the v1 bridge?
Fixed in Hue Essentials version 1.21.2 on Android and 1.15.2 on iOS. The Android update is already available, the iOS update should be available within a few days. Please let me know if this update resolves the issue.
I also noticed that sometimes the v1 bridge is not discovered properly. That will be fixed in a future update. For now, you can use the connect manually option under advanced if your bridge is not found automatically. Or swipe down to refresh and it could appear.
