Philips Hue Timers

Post by bertklaasen »

LS, I have a Domoticz Group Switch to control my Philips Hue lamps in our living room.

I created a timer (Timers button in the Group overview) to switch on my Hue lamps some time before sunset. This works like a charm.

In the timer function one can set the colour for the lamps when they switch on. As I am using different methods to switch the lamps on and set the desired colour (through the Philips app), I would propose a function to just switch on the lamps using the previous colours setting. When the lamps are switched on through the Domoticz Timer, I constantly need to readjust the colour of the lamps to the desired one as controlling the colout through Domoticz is difficult.

Regards
Clemen

The Hue implementation today is not great.

You can solve your problem by calling a hue scene from domoticz, instead of switching on the individual lights.
The scene colours and lamps included are controlled through the hue app
