I have the same problem. It's impossible to register the hue-cli at the hue bridge. I have the current round-edged box-shaped bridge (and registering other apps worked fine, so far).

$ hue config
{
  "name": "Philips hue",
  "swversion": "01033370",
  "apiversion": "1.13.0",
  "mac": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
  "bridgeid": "<id>",
  "factorynew": false,
  "replacesbridgeid": null,
  "modelid": "BSB002"
}

(I removed the mac and the bridgeid, of course.)

I use node v4.4.7 (LTS).

Just upgraded to the second version of the bridge (homekit)

$hue search : finds the bridge ok.
$hue config : "code": "ETIMEDOUT"
$hue --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx register : returns

same problem here.

One thing to notice is that I have replaced the old bridge (round) with the squared new one and
hue config shows that the bridge have been replaced.

$ hue config
{
  "name": "Hue bridge mave ",
  "swversion": "01033989",
  "apiversion": "1.14.0",
  "mac": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "bridgeid": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxA1",
  "factorynew": false,
  "replacesbridgeid": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxCA",
  "modelid": "BSB002"
}

Still not able to register

+1 - with the old bridge.

[pieshop]

I actually found I was already registered.

Once I did hue -H xx.xx.xx.xx config I could see the config - it was defaulting to the old ip and so erroring.

So I did hue -host xx.xx.xx.xx --save, which saved the new ip in the config file, and from there 'hue lights' and other commands worked fine.

[pieshop]

As a side note - when I switched the bridge the only way I could get the transfer to work was to use a new dhcp assigned ip address!

fixed by #14

[Baloobear]

@bahamas10 will u plz merge the pull request(s)?! thanks.

[bahamas10]

@Baloobear plz give me more than 8 hours to respond! :p

I only have the old bridge, so I will be limited to testing the new bridge sometime this weekend when I go to my friends house who has it himself.

My comments to the pr by @mattbucci will be that thread

[TwizzyDizzy]

Have the new bridge here, so could provide testing if needed.
