Error (again) using app with Hue Remote API

[MarcusBluestein]

I had an issue with the app and remote API months ago and you helped me resolve it. The problems return a few weeks ago and I have not been able to use the app since. I confirmed that I am running the nightly build version (5.8.6) and reinstalled it to be sure.

In the app, I get this: Error Occurred Connecting to Hue, please try again

In the logs I get this:

Any ideas?
