phillips hue bridge firmware issues (was Re: Philips Hue Bridge - Delete a Bulb without Reset)

[James Sentman]

I've updated my bridge and of course everything works fine, which makes finding the error more of a chore.

Since you say that it drops out while loading the lights I'm going to work on the assumption right now that some data is missing for some light in your system that used to be included and it's blowing up the loader. I'm going to protect those accesses with extra checks so that it wont blow up anymore and then collect some more data from it once I have something you folks with the problem can test with.

I didn’t have this listed in XTension and thought maybe it was a non-responsive GE Wink light I’ve been meaning to fix.  I added a new Zigbee unit to XTension called test with address 34.  I sent an off command and this caused the bridge to 'unexpectedly disconnect’.  I’ve restarted both the Bridge and XTension, but whenever the Bridge reconnects it only shows 22 of the roughly 35 Zigbee lights and then quits again.

Thanks,
