"Update Hue Bridge" mandatory update screen

[lukevink]

Describe the bug

When adding the emulated bridge to the philips hue app, we are now greeted by "Update hue bridge" screen. One assumes the emulated bridge is an older version and needs to be updated somehow.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Follow usual setup instructions
2. Add bridge to hue app
3. Press "link" button (inside hass.io popup)
4. "Update Hue Bridge" mandatory update screen appears

Expected behavior

Should be able to add emulated bridge to the philips hue app without performing an update

The v2 API has not been implemented and thus the official Hue app is currently not supported. Other Hue compatible apps which do not require the v2 API such as Hue Essentials and others continue to work as normal.

I don't understand the answer : "The v2 API has not been implemented".

On the main Github page, it is written : "Fully emulates a "V2" HUE bridge." and "You or your family like to use the HUE app for control over ALL your lights, so even non-Zigbee/HUE lights..."

It seems it's not correct if I right understand ?

If I understood correctly, the versions in "v2 API" and "V2 HUE bridge" don't refer to the same thing.
The "V2 HUE bridge" refers to the square version of the real HUE bridge which was released back in 2015.
The "v2 API" refers to the new API which was only recently announced last November.

Currently this project only emulates the v1 API and since the HUE app switched to the v2 API it's incompatible for now but you can still use other apps (or older app versions) that use the v1 API.

Until the v2 API has been implemented the readme should probably be updated to clarify the lack of v2 API support since I also mistook them as referring to the same version when I first looked into this project a few days ago...

[alexyao2015]

@FlorianFreudiger is correct. The current readme is a little dated, however, if you look at the other pinned issue #265, you can see how to join the "beta" which will eventually include support for this.

Thanks for you reply, I better understand this issue between v2 and v2.

i will have a look at the beta, as I would like to try a way to keep using the Hue App with my Zigbee2MQTT network.

So short story is this doesn't work anymore?
