No, the original cookbooks i.e Mood Light and Weather Station are specifically only compatible with the original firmware/daemon/rockpool.
... the network scanning was very experimental at the time and in most cases did not work. You have to use the Pi's address, or localhost if on the same machine, which should work if your dock is in working order and you have ran the 'rockpool' one-line installer.
That said, we are going to migrate everyone to the environment supported going forward, the end result of what we've lovingly referred to as 'shipshape', and I don't think it's worth you troubleshooting your issue at this stage as that's pretty much imminent and hopefully this will be the route of least friction for you.
Anyhow, please bear with us a little longer, we'll make some announcements when that's all ready to roll!
