Hue Lights discussion

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your reply.

I found in the app the following:

Hue white lamp
Manufacturer: Philips
Model: LWA001
SW: 1.53.3_r27175

Thanks. I’ll add support for that light in the next release in a day or so.

Version 1.7.20 Posted

• Added support for a new Hue color B22 bulb.
• Added support for a new Hue white bulb.

Hi Nathan,

I have recently bought a Hue smart plug which is a new model number (LOM004) which is not in the device support list.

Can you add it please.

n.b. This unit was bought in Canada

Hi Robert.

Certainly! I’ll add it in the next update sometime next week.

Hi Nathan,

I have bought some Ikea bulbs yesterday that are not supported:

{u'24': {u'swversion': u'1.2.214', u'name': u'Pool porte sud', u'swupdate': {u'state': u'notupdatable', u'lastinstall': u'2019-12-09T18:42:23'}, u'uniqueid': u'00:0b:57:ff:fe:d6:eb:a5-01', u'capabilities': {u'control': {}, u'streaming': {u'renderer': False, u'proxy': False}, u'certified': False}, u'productname': u'Dimmable light', u'state': {u'on': False, u'reachable': True, u'mode': u'homeautomation', u'bri': 1, u'alert': u'select'}, u'manufacturername': u'IKEA of Sweden', u'config': {u'function': u'functional', u'direction': u'omnidirectional', u'archetype': u'candlebulb'}, u'type': u'Dimmable light', u'modelid': u'TRADFRI bulb E12 W op/ch 400lm'}

and

u'25': {u'swversion': u'2.1.022', u'name': u'Pool spot ouest', u'swupdate': {u'state': u'notupdatable', u'lastinstall': u'2019-12-09T20:34:17'}, u'uniqueid': u'14:b4:57:ff:fe:53:64:9f-01', u'capabilities': {u'control': {}, u'streaming': {u'renderer': False, u'proxy': False}, u'certified': False}, u'productname': u'Dimmable light', u'state': {u'on': False, u'reachable': True, u'mode': u'homeautomation', u'bri': 1, u'alert': u'select'}, u'manufacturername': u'IKEA of Sweden', u'config': {u'function': u'functional', u'direction': u'omnidirectional', u'archetype': u'recessedceiling'}, u'type': u'Dimmable light', u'modelid': u'TRADFRI bulb GU10 WW 400lm'}

Can you add those ones too? Also do you know if there is a possibility to control the Ikea blinds with Indigo?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert.

Thanks for the report. I’ll add support in the next update later this week.

Version 1.7.21 Posted

• Added support for another Hue Smart Plug model variant.
• Added support for a Hue white dimmable BR30 light.
• Added support for an IKEA TRADFRI E12 and GU10 dimmable light.

I created a set of python scripts to animate Philips Hue Lights. They use the Hue Lights plugin from Nathan Sheldon Software.

I am currently using 6 Hue LED Color Light Strips for Christmas lights that are installed under the eaves of my roof, but you can configure the bulb devices to include any Color Hue light. The script animates the lights so they can change color, create a rainbow, chase, fill, and any other animation you can think of.

I am an amateur programmer, so the program is verbose and may seem overly complicated. It works fine for me, and was a great way to learn Python, so I hope it can be adapted by other users, or at least give you some ideas as to what you can do with the hue lights.

Here is a video of the animation:

Hi Tom.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Nathan,

Hi Robert.

I’ll add that one in the next update.

Hi Nathan,

Can you add support for the Hue Smart Button?

https://www2.meethue.com/en-us/p/hue-sm ... 6677553715

Yes. Sometime early next year. Adding support for sensor devices like the Smart Button requires custom code to accommodate differences between individual models, so I have to have the hardware in hand to test. That means I either need to wait for someone to send me the new hardware or invest my own money into buying it. This popular item hasn’t been available until recently, so I won’t have it until early next year to begin testing.

Thanks Nathan!

The Plugin works perfect for my needs, and the Smart Button will add additional functionality that I can make good use of. I use the Hue hub and Hue motion sensors in a remote building that’s on a separate electric service, but does have Ethernet from the house. The Hue Lights plugin functionality in Indigo allows me to control TP-Link Kasa switches for all of the buildings interior and exterior lighting. I can’t use Insteon switches in the building since it’s on an independent electric service.

I have an extra Smart Button that I would be happy to contribute to your project. Send a private message with your address and I’ll ship it right out to you.
