First time Use

Important (!): Make sure that you start the app in the path that contains the HTML and HueData folders.

The app will always check:

1) That it has a valid IP address to connect with the Bridge.

2) That it has been registered on the Bridge and, thus, appears on its Whitelist.

This means that upon initial execution it will:

a) Try to obtain your Bridge's IP address from meethue.com. If this is unsuccessful it means that your Bridge is not connected to the internet OR that you are running via a VPN. You will have to resolve these issues to continue.

b) Assuming that the first step was successful, you will now be presented with a short dialogue guiding you through the process of adding this app to the Bridge. This will normally be a one-off process, unless you move or delete the userNameHue.mat file - in which case you will be asked to re-register with the Bridge.
