WinHue remembers legacy IP about winhue HOT 13 CLOSED

If you want to fix this quickly you could delete the settings file. By default WinHue saves the settings of the bridge for a quicker startup in a file which is located in your Document / WinHue folder. I know of this bug bug never fix it properly yet.

I found a settings file at "C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\WinHue" and deleted it. Even after restarting and pairing with the new IP, I keep getting the info that the bridge is not responding at the old IP. Is there any other place, where WinHue might remember the old address?

Depending on the version you are using it might be in My Documents / WinHue or in the appdata roaming folder. Otherwise I don't store the bridge info anywhere else. If this happens there must be a bug somewhere else in the application. When you do the pairing procedure do you use the detect bridge button or you enter a manual ip or scan ? I will take a look at this when I get home tonight see if I cannot find something odd the in the ip manipulation parts of HueLib. if you try this address https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp do you get the good ip ?

I am using the scan method to detect the bridge, and push the link button for the actual pairing.

I wonder if this is not related to the DNS. Try this, open a command line window and type ipconfig /flushdns (you shoud get a dns flushed message) and try again WinHue. I know that the IP scan portion use the local pc dns to get some info. Not sure if this could be it.

Flushing the DNS doesn't seem to help.

Ah geee i just reread your message and this is happening with WinHue console ! it's been a while since i tested it and yes there might be a bug there. I'll get back to you later tonight.

Don't stress. I'll be happy if you get to it when you find a chance :)

Can you tell me the command you are using with whc to see if I can reproduce the problem ?

from winhue.

I get a response with the old IP with this command: whc -l=1 --on=true

from winhue.

ok i know what's happening. Quick fix : copy your settings file that's located in the Appdata Roaming to your Documents / WinHue 3 folder. I changed the default folder for WinHue settings in last build and I forgot to change it in whc so it loads the old version of the file in the Document folder. I will fix this.
