[Bug] Ambient lights with bifrost hue emulator

[GerritK]

Describe the bug

Hey, i'm trying to connect simhub to my bifrost bridge (hue emulator). My Hue App and Hue Sync are already connected and i can see requests to descirption.xml of bifrost by simhub but simhub does not show the bridge.

here is my bifrost /description.xml response <root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0"> <specVersion> <major>1</major> <minor>0</minor> </specVersion> <URLBase>http://192.168.YY.XX/</URLBase> <device> <deviceType>urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:Basic:1</deviceType> <friendlyName>Bifrost 192.168.YY.XX</friendlyName> <manufacturer>Christian Iversen</manufacturer> <manufacturerURL>http://github.com/chrivers/bifrost</manufacturerURL> <modelDescription>Bifrost Hue Bridge Emulator</modelDescription> <modelName>Bifrost Bridge</modelName> <modelNumber>BSB002</modelNumber> <modelURL>http://www.philips-hue.com/</modelURL> <serialNumber>02285f....</serialNumber> <UDN>uuid:e2e7dd84-...-5646-9b9b-....</UDN> <presentationURL>index.html</presentationURL> </device> </root>

hi ! Based on the project description it does not seem to expose entertainment areas, simhub does not look for bridges and simple control (too slow for the purpose) for for the entertainment areas being configured. , can you confirm you can configure them from the Hue app ?

[GerritK]

I can configure entertainment areas in the hue app and i can use them with hue sync desktop app. With hue sync desktop app it seems to work fine so far but i like the simhub implementation more for sim racing.

Hi ! Thanks, i'll try to investigate. Of course this is only tested and validated on real Hue bridge, such simulators might have "emulation" differences which can break it.
