Description

When using the hardware.ini to send DMX commands, the game can connect to the Philips Hue Bridge, but nothing happens when sending a command to one of the lights. The logs show that the command is failing. I may be doing this wrong, but I haven't found any documentation on how to use the Philips Hue devices in the hardware.ini file. I would greatly appreciate an example hardware.ini file that uses a Philips Hue device with the current firmware updates. Thank you for your time! Any pointers on what to try/look/do next would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction

Start with the Philips Hue device configuration in hardware.ini and reproduce the reported 400 response using the connection details and logs in this issue. Trace how a light command is formed and compare it with the current Hue firmware behavior; the work is done when commands succeed and a working hardware.ini example is documented.
