en pretty nice idea but not working - chrome Version 115.0.5790.114 - too many request to hue bridge. Same error like hueblog.com in the review of the plugin. maybe dont know how this would improve, but perhaps it makes sense to integrate a direct entry option for the ip of the hue bridge instead only via https://discovery.meethue.com/*

FINALLY. This is a fantastic little extension that fills a frustrating gap on Signify's end in controlling what's supposed to be the best system of smart lights available. Setup was virtually painless, and once connected it does exactly what you'd expect it to - it can see all lights connected to your bridge (even third-party ones that have been added via the hue app), it mirrors the rooms and zones as they are shown in the hue app, and displays the on/off status of each room, zone, and light. You can toggle individual lights on and off, as well as set scenes by room and zone. It doesn't yet support dimming of individual bulbs, but considering this is the only even remotely functional solution available on desktop I couldn't possibly care less. If I want to change the dimming that badly I'll just open the app. Thank you so much to the dev, and please keep up the good work because this is literally the only thing that works.
