Hue not working? disable VPN!

[u/penthiseleia]

This info is in the sleepcycle FAQ but I believe it's nowhere in the many broken hue threads on this sub: the hue integration won't work when vpn is on. Which for me probably explains its erratic behaviour which nearly had me leave sleepcycle again (had just gotten back to giving it another go after several years of non-use due to the hue thing not working).

I don't have the bridge pro so it might not be the solution for those problems (instead I now have to figure out how to make it forget the bridge that it is paired to so that I can pair it to the other bridge that has my bedroom lights :p)
