Philips Hue Integration

[RG129]

Does anybody have Philips Hue lights? I successfully integrated them but not sure all the available commands. I've figured out how to toggle on/off and brightness and color, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to go to a programmed scene I've set up.

I also haven't figured out a way to assign a light to more than one room or group so I can command a group of lights in multiple rooms with one voice command.

You can turn off and on all lights by specifying all. I've also noticed you can control a single light even if it's part of a group by specifying just that light.

Still playing around with it, buy yeah I'd love to be able to control scenes.

How do I change the color black to "Normal"? When I choose white it is super white like a bathroom or kitchen light, when I choose orange or yellow it is very orange to yellow. Has anyone figured this out? What color is "standard" or "normal"? (Neither of those commands work).

I use a scene in hue and turn on the scene with IFTTT and a key phrase.

Maybe try *Dim the ligts* once you've set the color. The IFTTT might be the best route until Hue support is a bit more robust, though...

Yeah I was having trouble with IFTTT last night. I'll try it again.

The IFTTT app for me keeps getting stuck here:

It just says loading forever and never lets me choose a scene. Has anyone been able to get passed this screen?

If you name or nickname your lights carefully, Home can be smart enough to associate them. For instance... if you name 3 lights 'front door', 'front porch', and 'front deck', "turn on front lights" or "turn on fronts" will turn all three on regardless of what rooms they are in.

I figured it out. The original Hue Hub I had was returned, and through the Philips Hue site I hadn't removed it from my account so IFTTT wasnt working because of that. It is now and it is pretty awesome I must say!

Great! I also have a recipe to change the lights to the color #fbb876. It's fairly soft, but you can also adjust it.
