- Fixed a bug that caused the plugin to crash if a Hue Group had no brightness value.

It is reading as Lux but I doubt it.
It seems like a range between 0 and 25, 0 being no light and 25 sunshine.
Is that everyone else's interpretation ?

The Hue Lights plugin automatically detects any changes to all lights after they've been changed outside of Indigo and updates the light status in Indigo with the new settings. Detecting this change isn't instantaneous, of course, because 1) the Hue hub's own internal status for each light doesn't get updated immediately, and 2) the Hue Lights plugin only asks the hub about recent changes every 10 seconds.
The Philips Hue API does expose Hue Tap and Hue Wireless Dimmer Switch states, but the API documentation isn't clear as to how often that state information is updated on the hub, nor is there any mechanism for pushing notifications of switch events to any application using the Hue API (such as the Hue Lights plugin), so switch status updates could be slow and/or unreliable. I don't have any switches to test this with though, so I can't say for sure.
What are your goals in detecting changes to Hue lights outside of Indigo? Perhaps there are other ways around solving what you're trying to do.
