[Hue] Suddenly can't connect to Bridge

Extension

Description

I've been using this extension for some time and never had any issues. However, today when I tried to control my lights, a connection to the Bridge couldn't be established so I tried disconnecting and reconnecting. When I tried to reconnect to the Hue bridge I got the following error: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_IP_ADDRESS]: Invalid IP address: undefined. I also tried manually setting the IP of my Bridge (and disabling DHCP) in the extension's settings, but again, no luck. I disabled my VPN and everything else I thought might interfere with the network too. I am using MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1 if that's relevant.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open the Control Lights command
2. Try to connect to Hue Bridge

I've also been experiencing this so I thought I'd dig in to work out what's going on - with the caveat I'm not a JS dev by trade.

Whilst the docs recommend any Node.js version from 16 onwards, versions >= 20 have different networking behaviour which leads to incorrect error handling on some cases on .lookup calls. This still hasn't been looked at upstream.

Forking the extension and making the following change instantly fixed all of the issues I was having. I used the latest version of Node.js available via nvm (21.2.0). I've verified this doesn't break anything on 16.20.2 either.

Happy to submit a PR if this seems reasonable.

Thank you for looking into it. Always appreciated!

I'm experiencing the same issue and if you change fixes it I would approve it as soon as I could test it.

So yes, please do submit it as a PR if you like!

Seems that this has been fixed by #9337. Thank you both!
