Same here stopped working. Any update on this?
Iām in the same situation as many of the above. I use switches, dials, zones and rooms through this driver and theyāve all become unresponsive after the latest update. Iām not positive if it was the 9-16 or the 9-15 update that broke it, though. The last action I see taken in my history was around 12:49AM EDT last night.
Everything shows as connected, but if I try to take any action I get the same ānetwork or server error occured. Try again later.ā Taking the same action via the official driver, the hue app, or the hue essentials app seems to work fine. I did notice that when I logged into the hue app that I had to accept a new terms of service, so Iām not sure if thatās related to the new version of their app from 2 days ago. Iāve tried re-linking the driver by starting the link process and clicking the button on the hub, but I get the same error.

I forgot what driver I was using, but looks like Iām in the same boat as many others. Noticed last night when none of my hue bulbs participated in my good night routine
I noticed I was not getting any logs from the driver at all. I restarted my hub and managed to connect and grab logs as soon as it came back online and this is the error Iām now seeing:

That error seems to repeat for a while now, every 30 seconds or so. Iām not sure why I wasnāt seeing it prior to the hub restart. I hope this helps.
UPDATE: The error seems to eventually stop, so I suspect thatās why I didnāt see any logs until after a restart. Iām guessing the hub just stops trying to initialize the driver after a certain point.

I am a newer user. I am experiencing issues as well. I would like to support somehow.
Thank you for the log file. There is something odd there as the error in the log file isnāt from the latest driver. Can you verify the version of the driver ST shows that you have installed?
FYI,
On the 9-16 here, as well, and itās still experiencing the same issues as the 9-15 update.
More than happy to grab logs if anyone can direct me how exactly to do that.

- Fixed bug caused by versioning problem during driver deployment
So the recent issue was caused by an incorrect version of a file ending up in the driver during deployment, not in the code itself. This started with the deployments on 9/15 which lines up. The issue was fixed and the driver re-published with the correct version. This should alleviate the issue for everyone that didnāt delete all of their devices and left it alone. Thanks @HyperNeon for the log file. Led right to the issue.

I am now able to re-add the driver to my test hub. Rebooting live hub now to clerk itās back to normal.
Thankfully I hadnāt touched the live hub
After rebooting the hub, new driver kicked in and normal service has been restored.
Thanks again for your support

I restarted my hub and it grabbed the newest version. I just confirmed everything is back to working as normal. Thanks very much for the quick fix @blueyetisoftware!

Hi Chris,
Iām not getting the new driver when I reboot my hub - do you need to do anything else in order to get it?
Just need to wait until ST pushes it out. There are a few workarounds to trigger it, but most of them will screw up your device if you arenāt careful.

I definitely wouldnāt do this. It almost never works and just causes additional headaches.
I had a problem today - think my hub must have updated to the latest version, and all my automations stopped working.
Came to this topic and rebooted my hub - still not working.
Checked in the drivers section of the new SmartThings and there was a driver that wasnāt installed - Midea. Not sure what it does, exactly, but installing it immediately worked.
@blueyetisoftware - what does it do? But also thank you for your tireless work on this.
That driver has nothing to do with lights. It is a prototype for a dehumidifier driver. You should remove it. Only the Hue driver is used for Hue lights. You just need to make sure you are on the version listed above in the solution.
This probably just forced ST to check the versions of each of your drivers and you grabbed the latest Hue driver in the process.
Okay - thank you for the helpful update!
Iāve removed the Midea driver, but itās worth noting that the description of the driver isnāt very intuitive, so perhaps changing that up a little?
Thank you again for this work and your rapid update.
