all4Hue und deconz/phoscon

Hi,

I just moved all my lights to raspbee with Deconz and Phoscon Webapp. Beforehand I read that people connected All4Hue with Deconz. However, I cannot get it to work. The deconz bridge is found but I cannot connect to it (it says, that authetication didn't work)

What can I do to make it work? I tried another app (HueEssentials) which is working. So in theory it should work with third party Hue apps.

Best

Hello,

The only reason I can think of: If an app supports Philips Hue Entertainment effects (like all4hue), the authorization is a little bit different. Maybe this is the reason why it does not work.

What version (bridge v1 or v2) does your configuration represent?

Thanks for you response!

How can I see, what version it represents?

I don't know how this is handled with the phoscon gateway.

In general bridge version 1 responds with model id "BSB001" and version 2 with model id "BSB002". What is more important is the reported firmware. If all4hue detects a bridge API firmware >= 1.22 the authorization is done with other parameters (for support of Philips hue entertainment effects).

Can you find out what hue bridge firmware the phoscon gateway reports?

If anyone gets the same question in the future, the reason is that the official Hue App and All4Hue request an ssl connection, which phoscon doesn't provide.
There is a qorkaround mentioned here

Hello,

Thank you for the Information. But all4hue does currently not use an SSL connection. There must be another reason
