There seems to be an extra space in the host value.

Is the same error reported when you run homebridge with only homebridge-hue enabled? It wouldn’t be the first time that another illbehaving plugin breaks homebridge-hue.

Could you attach the debug log file and the debug dump file, see
https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-hue#troubleshooting.

I’m a moron. The gap was the issue. Thank and merry merry Christmas. You made my day!

[ebaauw]

I would expect request to return an ENOTFOUND error for a non-existing hostname, but apparently it reacts in a funny way to the leading space, hence the undefined. Also, a trailing space results in a HTTP status 404 Not Found.

Note to self: Best do some more rigorous checking on config.json.

you helped me a lot.
