Hi, unfortunately his app is a paid app so we can not test this.
In the logs you provide i can see that this app uses V1API.
It wants to make a group with type LightGroup this is not in diyhue responses.
That is why you get the http code 500.

2024-12-14 19:01:49,370 - flaskUI.restful - 154 - INFO - {'type': 'LightGroup', 'name': 'HauntedHouseG', 'lights': ['39']}
2024-12-14 19:01:49,374 - werkzeug - 225 - INFO - 192.168.0.45 - - [14/Dec/2024 19:01:49] "�[35m�[1mPOST /api/e510bf40ba9011ef9b4ee45f01bbd792/groups HTTP/1.1�[0m" 500 -

in this app can you select other rooms or is the room page empty?
Can you share some screenshots from the app?

Not sure if it's turning up in this log, but this app creates those groups based on your light selections. Perhaps that's failing?

The same author makes a whole bunch of occasion-specific apps that share the same engine. I'd be happy to send a donation on Ko-Fi or elsewhere to cover having at least one for your testing. The whole point for me in adopting DIYHue is to rid myself of the Hue Bridges I have and unwind all the complex VLAN and firewall nonsense I had to do to prevent them from updating to recent cloud-required spyware versions. Supporting this project is a no-brainer.

EDIT: Sent over something on Ko-Fi. If that doesn't make it to a current maintainer, please let me know and we'll make other arrangements.

if you make a donation to ko-fi the ends up with the mastermind of diyhue(Marius Motea).
Marius transfers the money to me if it is ment for me.

OK, running through Proxyman, I see a POST to /groups: {"type":"LightGroup","name":"HauntedHouseG","lights":["39"]}
and that's returning 500. It superficially looks correct in the Hue v1 API docs.

EDIT: looks like the failure is the type of LightGroup.

diyHue/BridgeEmulator/flaskUI/restful.py

Line 169 in cb65ff8

if "type" in postDict:

isn't handling that type.

[hendriksen-mark]

Yes I know, that is why I asked you if any other groups are displayed in the app, to add LightGroup we have to add allot(group 0 is also called lightgroup).
I have been testing with this.

Hi, thank you for your donation.
I have installed the haunted app and it works flawless with my setup.
I can select my lights without problems.
The lights change color or brightness without errors.
Color and non color lights.
I dont see any option to make rooms in the haunted app.
All my rooms I made in the hue app appear in the haunted app
I suggest you make rooms in the hue app for all of your lights and then select the lights again in the haunted app.https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/73309b0a-9833-4ba3-a152-e28e0fa78fbf

The app uses LightGroups to sync its animations among multiple lights. It only uses your Rooms as part of its Light selection UI, not during animation.

I look forward to the next release with your changes. Thanks!

[hendriksen-mark]

Please try the new version and give feedback.

[ohmantics]

It's still not animating for me, but I'm not seeing errors now.

And if you look in the log directly of the container? The traceback is not logged to the .log file.
