"Press the hue button" not always working.

[sjgoalie]

As we were discussing in another thread, I'm having trouble with some apps saying "press the button". I moved the discussion here to get out of that other thread.

Here is my log, this run I started fresh, waited a moment then ran the Smartthings app and told it to add a device. The app mentions pressing the button on the hue hub, but I never get a response from the emulator.

Ok, so basicaly i see the pair stop at GET /description.xml.
the pair process is made of 3 steps:

1. ssdp discover - most complex, this pass
2. request /description.xml - most basic step, but somehow this fail)
3. POST to /api to register a new user. Here if the "button" is not pressed it will ask to press the button, but we dont arrive here

Can you try to run ha-bridge to see if this emulator will be detected? This way i will see the differences and made the correction.

[sjgoalie]

Yes, it sees the ha-bridge within about 2 seconds.

[mariusmotea]

Ok, i will compare the output and i will fix this.

[mariusmotea]

Check develop branch, i update the content of description.xml and now is almost identical with ha-bridge (only serial number is different).
The commit is this 6a35a03

Please don't forget to close this issue if is working now.

[mariusmotea]

Any feedback?

[sjgoalie]

Sorry, I have guests in town for the holidays, I'll try it this afternoon

[sjgoalie]

Still behaving the same, here's the latest log.

[mariusmotea]

ok, same issue, remain stuck at description.xml . i will go forward, maybe is looking also to serial number that must have unique prefix because is generated from mac address, and if this is not the expected one, it fail.

[mariusmotea]

I push a new update:

[sjgoalie]

No change in the Smartthings app. new log...

Any progress on this issue? Can't get my smartthings to pick up the emulator either, no issues discovering it with other apps. I did change the MAC of the virtual machine running the emulator to start with 00:17:88 like my real bridge v2, that made no apparent difference. If there's something you need tested let me know, I'll upload logs, packet captures, anything that may help.

[mariusmotea]

Hi,

did you tested with latest commit made last days in master?

Marius.

[subnoize417]

Yes, 100% up to date with master. Copied down the logs, as well as a wireshark capture of the smartthings hub and emulator's communication. Had to add .txt to attach it.
for reference 192.168.10.191 is your emulator, 192.168.10.138 is smartthings

can you provide me the output of your real hue bridge when you perform curl -v http://x.x.x.x/description.xml ?

[mariusmotea]

i believe the output was truncated, it must be a valid xml like the one from here: https://github.com/SteveyO/Hue-Emulator/blob/master/resources/description.xml

curl output attached

[subnoize417]

@mariusmotea mine is still not working, would you like me to open a separate issue? Wish I knew python better so I could help more and figure this out

[mariusmotea]

ok, open new issue. I believe i will be able to fix this with your help, because you have a real hue bridge and we can see where is the difference. So far i saw the discover is stuck at description.xml

[mariusmotea]

i push a new update in develop branch to have identical description.xml like your hue bridge (except ip and serial number)
