Hue Lights

Hue Lights is a plugin for Indigo which allows you to control your Philips Hue lights and Friends of Hue lights through the Indigo system. It allows you to perform basic operations like turning bulbs on and off, setting brightness, and setting the default dimming ramp rate. It also keeps the status of each bulb updated in Indigo so Indigo always knows the condition of each bulb even when the bulbs are controlled by the Hue iOS or Android apps. Additionally, Hue Lights enables advanced control of the Philips Hue devices, allowing you to set custom colors (using RGB, HSB, or color temperature), and the ability to turn on or off alerts (blinking) and effects (color loop).

Hue Lights offers the following features:

  • Supports multiple Hue Hubs.
  • Full Indigo Integration. Use standard Turn On, Turn Off, Set Brightness, Dim By, Brighten By, and Status Request actions in Indigo Pro to control each Philips Hue lighting device. • Start or Stop Brightening and Dimming. Use an Indigo action to start brightening or dimming a Hue device, then another action to stop. This can be useful if you want to press a button on a switch or remote to start dimming, then press another button to stop dimming when the light gets to the level you want. It can be even more useful when using the Dimmer Extender plugin to trigger brightening and dimming from INSTEON start brightening/dimming commands (something that can't currently be done with Indigo without a plugin).
  • Set Ramp Rates. Each Hue Lights action allows you to specify how quickly the light should change from it's current state to the settings you're specifying in the Indigo action using a "Ramp Rate" or transition time.
  • Set Colors. Use Indigo actions to set each Hue device to any color. There are 4 ways to set color. RGB levels (specify red, green, and blue levels similar to graphics editing software), HSB values (specify hue, saturation, and brightness similar to graphics editing software), and Color Temperature (set the white point of a bulb based on a Hue preset or your own color temperature, similar to digital camera white balance settings*). For advanced users, you can also specify the "xyY" chromaticity values. Each action can have a custom ramp rate (transition time) associated with it.
  • Use Virtual Dimmer Devices to Control Hue Device Settings. Use the Hue Device Attribute Controller device included with the Hue Lights plugin to control any aspect** of an existing Hue device, such as color saturation, hue, RGB level, or color temperature. These virtual dimmer devices can be especially useful when accessed from the Indigo Touch iOS app because they appear just like any other dimmer device within Indigo Touch. No need to create a control page or use the Hue app to adjust a device's hue or saturation.
  • Turn On and Off Alerts. You can turn on a short or long alert (1 blink for short, 15 blinks for long) for each device, and turn off the alert, also using Indigo actions.
  • Turn On and Off Effects. You can turn on Hue built-in special effects (currently, Hue only offers 1 effect: "color loop").
  • Save and Recall Your Own Presets. So, you've got your Hue bulb over the table set to just the right color, but now you want your LightStrips and LivingColors Bloom in the room to change to the same color. Either from the Plugins menu, or from within an Indigo action, you can save the current settings of your Hue bulb to one of 10 Presets then (in a separate menu selection/action) apply those settings to any other Hue device. From the Plugins menu, you can also print out the saved settings in each Preset to the Indigo log for reference or verification.
  • Extended Device Status Information. Each Hue device in Indigo also maintains all the status information provided by the Hue hub, including current hue and saturation levels, red, green, and blue levels, CIE 1931 xy chromaticity values, color temperature, color rendering mode, alert mode, effect mode, and whether the device is reachable by the hub. All this information can be viewed in the Mac OS X Indigo client (Indigo 6 beta 9 or newer), or on an Indigo control page you create with standard Indigo device state fields.
  • Hue Scene Recall Support. Hue scenes stored on the Hue hub are accessible from within Indigo and can be recalled using an Indigo action.
  • Motion Sensor Support. The Hue Motion Sensor is fully supported, including support for the motion, temperature and luminance sensors that are part of the Hue Motion Sensor.

Check out the wiki for a more complete description of how to use the plugin.

Added option to REPLACE a (eg broken) hue light in indigo - ie keep the indigo ID (and trigger etc) and link it to the new Hue device

In indigo device edit Lights you now have 3 options: 1. normal edit, no change 2. replace the hue device an indigo device is linked to - add new hue device to hue bridge, then edit the old indigo device and select "replace device, select new Hue device" 3. copy other indigo device (eg already created indigo device for new replaced hue device, but you would like to keep triggers etc in place that use THIS indigo device id) - edit old Indigo device and select option: "replace device, copy other Indigo device to this device" after save delete the indigo device that was copied from.

this should make it much easier to replace a broken light as compared to the previos plugin version: 2022.16.52

made the default value of option "auto create new devices": OFF. This has no impact on existing installations, only when you (re) install the hue plugin the option will be set to OFF initially you can set it ON/OFF in config at any time. The tool tip / help in config reads: >> with this option checked the plugin will create a new indigo device as soon as a new light/sensor/group is created on a hue bridge. With the option OFF you can manually create new devices (add indigo device ... Or you can use the menu item 'Add New Devices on Hue Bridge to Indigo' That will add all new devices that are on the hue bridge(s) in indigo<<

The change to OFF has been requested by Jay, as it conflicts with indigo standards.

  1. made http connect to bridge serial, ie put in a wait unitl last connect is finished this is to avoid time out when connecting to bridge by sevral threads at the same time. now they will happen after each other. if the wait is too long (3.5 secs) a warning gets printed to the log then you might want to reduce the frequency of ppolling the bridges in config.

now NEW Hue lights, sensors, and groups will be automatically created in indigo (once every 3 minutes) That option can be switched off in config.

So from now on: no need to manually ever create a new light/sensor/group. At most 3 minutes after you add a new light bulb etc to your Hue system through your phone that light bulb ... will appear automatically as an indigo device. The name will be like: Hue_type_Bridge#_Id#_name-One-Hue-System eg: Hue_group_0_2_Wintergarten Hue_light_1_11_Library spot 3
Hue_sensor_2_14_Dining wall on off 2

The folder name can be set in config.

    ======================= mapping of devtypes END ===================== ++++++ to the logfile.

The device type mappings between indigo and hue bridge are historical, and not simple to remember.

!!! =========================================== !!! I strongly suggest not to add hue devices manually to indigo, but you should use the menu item: "Add New Devices on Hue Bridge to Indigo..."

that will auto add all new devices found on any hue bridge to indigo in the proper form and device type !!! =========================================== !!!

  • FIXED: "line 7336, in parseOneHueSensorData if logChanges: self.indiLOG.log(20, "... was a bad ")" in format statement

  • ADDED menu option: "Delete Devices on Bridge..."" this will remove a hue devices from the bridge, not from Indigo

  • ADDED menu option: "Start Seach for new Devices on Bridge..." this will start the scan process on the bridge to look for new devices. the bridge will scan for 40 secs for new devices. This will not add devices to indigo, use menu "Add New Hue Devices in Indigo..." it will do about the same as the iphone hue app.

Changes in this release
  • ADDED support for Hue Rotary Wall Switch (4 Tap Switches w rotary ring) the most usefull dimmer in the Hue portfolio - In my opinion using types = ZLLRelativeRotary and ZLLswitch modelId = RDM002 it will create 2 indigo devices: hueRotaryWallSwitches (ZLLswitch) for the 4 buttons hueRotaryWallRing (ZLLRelativeRotary) for the ring to dimm lights on the hue bridge it is also 2 virtual devices

  • ADDED action & menu to dis(en)-able sensor devices (temp, motion, switches) this can be useful when you want to disable certain sensors at night or when you are out or at home this is done by setting element "config":{"on":true/false} on the bridge for the selected device you can see which sensors are on/off with report in menu/print hue config../sensors

  • ADDED menu option to rename devices on bridge you can change individual devices with free text or all and change the name on the bridge to the indigo device name !! max number of characters is 32 for names on bridge !! there is an option to drop the "Hue_bridge_id_"nameOnBridge prefix of indigo names on the bridge for devices generated using plugin/menu/Add new devices

  • ADDED option "Where to log device value changes" received from hue bridge either (1) in regular indigo log and plugin.log or (2) ONLY in plugin.log file in indigo log direcotry with this option you can declutter your normal indigo logfile from regular messsages reminder: ALL log messages are ALWAYS in the plugin.log file

  • ADDED option to print detailed tracking info for ONE specific Sensor or light to logfile this is useful to track the detailed behavior and logic in the plugin for ONE specific device when eg buttons are pressed

  • There are now various options to log device changes in plugin config

    • on for all devices
    • off for all
    • set in each device individually
    • log in indigo log and plugin.log or only in plugin.log file
    • set the default for each new device created
  • CHANGED state lastupdated is now local time, not UTC eg 2022-07-12 12:33:45 in stead of 2022-07-12T06:33:45 for USA east cost time zone that state is not the last time when an indigo state was updated, but when a new EVENT time stamp arrived

  • FIXED bug for "wall switch" devices status was not properly updated REMARK: The defined logic is not 100% correct. There are several modes (set on the bridge), ie when set to on/off on bridge the indigo state on/off only stays up for a few seconds. It should stay up as long as the button is pressed. This is also the case for all other switch sensors. This will only be corrected going from simple polling every 2 secs to async listening, BUT that is a major structural change for the plugin this will take some time

  • CHANGED: added debug statement for 'hubNumber' error

======================================== 2022.11.29 @ 2022-06-22 New functions: * added state "created". It shows date-time stamp of when device was created, or if it is empty put current stamp in, ie for old devices, as we don't know when they were created. this is only useful for new devices created after this release

  • added config option for default logging level(print received value updates to indigo log) for individual devices when they get auto created through "menu/create new devices...", which scannes all bridges and adds missing devices to indigo.

Improvements: * hue bridge adoption now semi-automatic in background in config after bridgeNumber and ip number confirmed it will try to pair/link to bridge and will show positive result in a popup window you still need to press the philips button on top of the bridge This way the plugin trys to link to the bridge every 5 seconds. It should succeeed as soon as you go to the bridge and press the button there. In case that process fails there is still the execute pair button in the config menu, which starts the paring process after you press the execute pair button

*streamlined device updates: instead of 10+ individual state updates, now it checks if there is a change in state value and then combines updates to a list. That should reduce server load from updates significantly

Fixes: * fixed some issues in print hue config menu

  • lots of little clean-up of typos etc

*made MANY more things table driven, not hard coded in plugin, ie supports-xx xx= batterylevel rgb, white, onoff, sensorvalue, is dimmerdevice etc. all is set in file supportedDevices.py *added functionality to scan network for hue bridges. this done in the backgroud every 5 minutes (using /usr/bin/dns-sd functionality ) the list of network scan found bridges is available in config when you want to add a new bridge in config you can ask to have the scan run immediately. if you already know the ipnumber of your bridge this is not needed, but the ip # field is filled out automatically

  • * this version now requires python3 ie only runs uder indigo 2022.1 and later * it might still work under py2 (earlier than indigo 2022.1) You need to change api version to 2.0 from 3.0 in info.plist, but no support for that
