User creation wrong param

See original GitHub issue

App	Version
Hue Api version	1.14.0
Huejay version	1.2.2

Hi,

I was trying to create a new user following the example but the response from Hue was always

Error: Philips Hue: 5, invalid/missing parameters in body

So, looking into your code, I found that you do not use the deviceType attributes but instead the name one.

For it to work I had to change :

user.deviceType = 'my_device_type'; // Default is 'huejay'

By :

user.attributes.set("name","huejay");

I’ve released Huejay v1.4.1 which should fix this issue. You no longer have to specifically set user.deviceType, or set internal attribute ‘name’, prior to creating the user. @danieldooley, let me know if your original code posted in this issue will work without any modifications.

Per docs, you should continue to set device type by way of user.deviceType if you don’t want it to be “huejay”.
