How to Find My Bridge IP Address
Your Philips hue bridge gets assigned an ip address by the router that it is connected to, so the 2nd or middle light on the bridge must be solid first. If the 2nd light on your bridge is not on at all, make sure your bridge is plugged in to the back of your router. If it is and still not on, change the Ethernet cable with another one you know works. If the light does not come on at all, it is possible that the bridge is defective and you should either call Philips or return to point of sale.
There are a few different ways that you can find the ip address assigned to your Philips Hue Bridge, the easiest is through the meethue api.

If your bridge is on your network, the link should bring up a page that will look like this:
The number “192.168.1.150” is the ip address assigned to this specific bridge. Your ip address will most likely be slightly different than in the picture.
If you are using a device not on the same network as your bridge or your bridge has not been assigned an ip address by your router, it will only show brackets like below.

How to Set a Static Ip Address to your Hue Bridge
In some cases of bridge connectivity it can help to assign a static ip address to your Philips hue bridge.
