JowiHue cannot find the bridge in my current implementation. The bridge and Homeseer are in different networks. The network with the bridge has been added in Homeseer under Tools:Setup:Network:Additional Local Subnets. JowiHue has been searching for an hour now. I added the .ini file in HomeSeer/Config per your web page. I've pushed the button on the bridge a few times.
I did some packet sniffing. It appears both the bridge and the plugin are using broadcast packets to try to find each other. I setup rules on the router between those networks to allow that traffic to pass ... but they are broadcast packets. Even when destination NATed the router won't pass them to another network.
"Warning: MainWatchThread: No bridge found, plugin will scan until found"
It's not going to find it.
