[HUE] class_name = HUE class_path = plugins.hue hue_user = 38f625a739562a8bd261ab9c7f5e62c8
A user name for the hue bridge. Usually this is a hash value of 32 hexadecimal digits.
If the user/hash is not yet authorized, you can use sh.hue.authorizeuser() (via interactive shell or via logic) to authorize it. The link button must be pressed before.
IP or host name of the hue bridge. Per default this is “Philips-hue”, so that you normally don’t have to specify a value here.
Port number of the hue bridge. Default 80. Normally there is no need to change that.
Cycle in seconds to how often update the state of the lights in smarthome.
Note: The hue bridge has no notification feature. Therefore changes can only be detected via polling.
Specify the lamp id. Via this parameter the hue connection is established.
The feature which is to be controlled is determined via the type of the item.
type = bool - controls feature ‘on’ (switching lamp on/off)
type = num - controls feature ‘bri’ (brightness)
type = dict - controls all features
Determines which feature to control. If this parameter is given, exactly that feature is controlled. You have to choose the item type accordingly.
hue_feature = hue - controls the hue. Type must be num
hue_feature = effect - controls the effect. Type must be str.
Special: hue_feature = all - controls all settings via dict.
