This blog post is part of the Blog Series: Power’ing up your Home Office Lights with Power Platform. See introduction post for links to the other articles in the series: [https://gotoguy.blog/2020/12/02/blog-series—powering-up-your-home-office-lights-using-power-platform—introduction/ ](https://gotoguy.blog/2020/12/02/blog-series---powering-up-your-home-office-lights-using-power-platform---introduction/ ) After building the Logic App in part 3 that will authorize and get access token via Oauth2, we will now create another Logic App that will retrieve the Bearer Token from the Key Vault secret, and renew the Token using Refresh Token whenever it is expired.

I will also need to store the Access Token and Refresh Token, so that I can retrieve it when I need to call the Hue Remote API, and use the Refresh Token to renew the Access Token when it expires.
