Outdoor Colored Lighting
Posted: Thu May 17, 2018 3:55 pm
So I have successfully installed about 25 gen 3 hue bulbs outdoors, working great through two winters, and thanks to Nathan’s Hue Light plugin, it integrates very nicely with Indigo. These lights not only produce any white light color i want but very nice colors for holidays too. I use a red-white-blue theme for patriotic holidays, green for st. Patricks, christmas season light colors, oranges and browns for thanksgiving. I use red when my team wins and blue when my spouses team wins... and halloween, boy oh boy I have more fun than a barrel of monkeys, saturating the house with a deep dark indigo-purple-violet hue and running lightning flashes (amazingly bright) and rain.wind.thunder.lightning sound tracks. I have had many many comments from halloween trick or treaters and their parents about the hue light display and they range from “fantastic” to ‘“the best decorations we’ve ever seen”. Okay, yes, i did spend $1000 on it all but it’s really cool.
Anyway, what is now missing are color coordinated outdoor garden Lights. The philips hue led strips, gen 3, do unsolder nicely with a good hot-air gun into 13” subsections....and you can string them together...with alot of work. I was thinking of wrapping 13” sections around a 3/4” post and making my own outdoor lights....but what a pain! So i googled.... i came up with THIS!

Sylvania-Osram Lightify Zigbee Outdoor Colored Gardenspot lights. Yuk....zigbee. Apart from being too close together, like 18” apart.... is there any chance someone has a hue interface, or a zigbee solution...to use these within Indigo?
I need to guide frightened children along my scary lightning paths to the evil candy dungeon.
