Device list missing, dropdown empty

I'm using 2022.13.44 of the plugin. I noticed that a few hue devices missing and went to add them but the drop down for selecting a device is empty (SEE PIC)
I had read about a new feature in the plugin that auto detects new devices. I checked the Plugin config and the box for every 5sec is checked. Advice alway appreciated.

I've tried rebooting router and server without results. I can still controll Hue lights but I can't add any new devices. Have I reached a limit?

Another strange thing is happening. I can see that the auto bridge scan is adding two lights to my devices with the names of; "Hue_light_0_43_Hue ambiance lamp 1" and "Hue_light_0_32_Hue ambiance lamp 1"

Hoping that one of the two lights added by the bridge scan was the one I wanted I tried turning it off/on from Indigo but nothing happens to the light I want to control...I can't seem to find what light it is in the house.

The second of the two lights that was added from the bridge scan was a bathroom light that was changed a few weeks back (which I thought was added when I changed the bulb). I changed the name from "Hue_light_0_32_Hue ambiance lamp 1" to "Master Bath Right" and a few seconds later I get a new light from scan that shows as disconnected that says "Hue_light_0_32_Master Bath Right" plus I still have my Master Bath Right.

I wonder if my bridge is failing?

I counted 67 instances in Indigo labeled "Hue Device" which included groups and accessories (49 actual devices and 1 accessory...the rest are "groups". I recall a 50 device limit but I thought that was mostly a performance issue vs it stops recognizing devices after 50.

Thanks in advance.

Could you please do a
menu/print… some where at the bottom of menu
Select lights Print
then groups.
Then bridges overview ..


Then email that output to me.

Karl, thanks. I’m not home as well but will get this to you in the AM. Thanks!

the hue bridge has several limits:

# of light
# of sensors
# of groups
..
# of total devices
they all need to share total memory

in my experience it is not the number of lights but the number of sensors ie dimmers that sets the limit:
one of my bridges "crashed" when i added one more dimmer. Then several things stoped working.
I clicked on something like free xxx, then all my lights disappeared, major duster, i had to reinstall / configure all lights and sensors and groups.

I now have 4 bridges. That is the maximum as zigbee uses 4 channels in the 2.4 GHz , They are side bands of wifi. I don't think that 2 bridges can use the same band.

the max # of lights I have are 30 on a bridge and max 15 dimmers (they become 75 total internal sensors)

ps and I posted a new version, there was a bug in print sensors

Karl,

I updated the plug-in (thanks!)

My choices from the plugin drop down menu are; id, type, model id, name and group.

Printed and sent the file.

Use first item „lights“ to pick other items

Hopefully the file I sent earlier has the info needed... I did what I thought were the items you were looking for. If not, let me know.
Best

Karl, I hope I got it right this time. File sent.
