Can't connect LimitlessLED bulbs anymore, can someone check my setup?

I dunno if anyone can help here, but this place seems to have the most knowledgeable people about this outdated piece of kit. :slight_smile:

I have LimitlessLED, and it was all working fine, but now it seems like the bridge can’t communicate with the bulbs.

I reset the bridge and installed the new firmware (found in this forum) and it connects to my wifi network just fine. But for some reason the milight app on my android phone can’t find the bridge. The Light Controller app can find a ‘hub’, and I can login to the bridge’s admin panel at 192.168.1.7 in my browser.

The physical remote controls the bulbs just fine, but I can’t get the rest to work. Does anyone have any ideas on where I’ve gone wrong?

Like I said it was all working great, and then one day it just stopped.

Some information, when I use the Wifi bridge software for windows, it discovers the bridge. Here are the results:

v5 UDP Discovery Broadcast: Link_Wi-fi
LAN broadcast: 255.255.255.255
discovery port: 48899
v6 UDP Discovery Broadcast: HF-A11ASSISTHREAD

So that all looks right, right? Or have I missed something?

Then when I go into Show Light Commands, selecting group 0 (all groups) I get…

Light On:

That’s for some reason on the default UDP port of 5987. When I try it on 8899:

Hello Trionix,

Could you log into your Vera account and check the Security Settings under User&Account Info? Please check the Enable UPnP box then see if you will be able to control the bulbs.

In case if you would still have issues please let me know.

UPNP is already enabled.

One issue is that when I updated the firmware, the LED lights stopped working, like no life from them at all. The bridge still connects to the wifi though, and still functions as an AP.

Does anyone have the original firmware, so that I can downgrade?
