Thanks for the quick reply.
I don't know what's happening but I can't find the Philips Hue app.
I checked on the online apps tab and clear all filter (clear by default), couldn't find the "featured" filter but the result when I try to look for "Philips Hue" is zero.

Never mind, I found the way to get the api key by following the Philips dev documentation and I could successfully install Philips Hue app into ZWave>Me but nothing else happened ... I have the app there saying "Activa".
What should I do know to see the lights and start controlling them?

I have a feeling that the PhillipsHue module is actually just an earlier version of the Hue module, both by Minux.

Rather than put a third one on the app store I've uploaded my modified version to Github for now.

It definitely needs more work, but it functions just fine for my Ambience lights as it is.

I've not tested scenes or RGBW bulbs and there is no code to refresh the x,y,z coords for RGBW bulbs.

Hi.
1. @BobElHat: I quickly downloaded this new version from github, but immediately get a error message, once activating the app (see below)

2. @PoltoS: I would really suggest to dump the "current" version of the Hue App and replace it with the one from BobElHat, as soon as it works. The current(former) version is completely crap...

Code: Select all

klaasjoerg, that's curious, it's exactly what I have working on my system and when I clone the git repo everything seems to be there.

This one has the same name as the previous on so I wonder if some junk is left over from the previous version. You could try reinitialising it by going to:

http://[your pi]:8083/ZAutomation/api/v1/modules/reinitialize/Hue

If that doesn't work maybe delete all Hue apps then clone the git repo into to userModules folder again with:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/z-way-server/automation/userModules
sudo git clone https://github.com/timauton/Hue.git

Just completely deleted the old Philips-Hue-App-(Folder) and manually created a new one with your github files.
So, works now!

I did a quick test with one of my 18 hue lights, and works well so far! - Good job!
Going to start playing around a little bit, try to create some defined light-scenes (which I used to define only within the home/eve App on iphone up to now).
