====== HueBridge ======
This module is a part of the [[NetHomeServer]]. The HueBridge-Item manages the connection to the Philips Hue Bridge, the little round device that connects to the network and that manages the ZigBee connections with the Hue Lamps.

The HueBridge-Item can find the address of the Hue bridge itself with a discovery protocol, all you have to do is to invoke the **findBridge**-action and it should automatically find the bridge. 

In order to use the bridge, you must register a username. To do this, follow these steps:

  - Press the button on top of the actual physical bridge
  - Within 30 seconds from the press of the button, invoke the **registerUser**-action in the HueBridge-Item
  - Press the **Apply** button

Now the bridge username should be registered in OpenNetHome and the Item ready to use. If you go to the Create-Item-page in the NetHome GUI, all avaliable lamps should now be presented ready to create.
