Domoticz

transitiontime uint16
The duration of the transition from the light’s current state to the new state. This is given as a multiple of 100ms and defaults to 4 (400ms). For example, setting transistiontime:10 will make the transition last 1 second.

{"on":true,"bri":255,"sat":212,"hue":13088,"transitiontime":600}

Using latest domoticz beta version, added the HUE bridge fine but for some reason, light switches work but when i try to group them together the on/off doesnt do anything after adding each light into the group. Any idea on this? Whenever i click on or off from a group, the lights only go off.

It would be a wonderful function if it isn’t already implemented.

There is no 'push' functionality in the bridge, so you need constant polling of the bridge to see the status of the Tap buttons.
So at the moment it is not really convenient to implement this natively in domoticz. You would need to poll at least once a second to get a response that is fast enough in practice. If you press a button on the Tap, and nothings happens for 10 seconds that is not good enough).
They might be working on such a functionality for a future firmware release see click

But you can write a script if you want, with the Hue API you can write your own polling mechanism in f.i. LUA.

-transition time
-colorloop
-alert

With the transition time parameter you can create a Wake Up Light.
1. Create a virtual switch.
2. Create an 'on' script like below and put it into the scripts directory (see the older Hue tutorial):
cat > hue_wake_8_on.sh
#! /bin/bash
curl -s -H "Accept: application/json" -X PUT --data '{"on":true, "bri":255, "transitiontime":600}' http://bridge-ip-address/api/newdevelop ... ts/8/state ; \

The above script will turn on the light with number 8 and go from 0 to 255 brightness in 60 seconds.

3. chmod 0755 hue_wake_*

4. Enter this script as the 'On' script in the switch settings.

5. Create an 'off' script to turn of the light in the morning after you wake up.
cat > hue_wake_8_off.sh
#! /bin/bash
curl -s -H "Accept: application/json" -X PUT --data '{"on":false}' http://bridge-ip-address/api/newdevelop ... ts/8/state ; \

6. chmod 0755 hue_wake_*

7. Enter a timer in this virtual switch when you want to wake up minus the transition time.

With other scripts like this you can also implement the 'alert' function which will cause the lamp to blik for a certain time.
{"alert": "lselect"} will cause 30 seconds of blinking.
{"alert": "select"} will cause a short blinking burst.
{"alert": "lselect", "hue": 20000} will cause the light to blink for 30 second with an orange color.

If you include other parameters other than alert, then the lamp will remember those settings after the blinking period is over.
If you only include the alert parameter, than the light will return to its previous state when it stops blinking.

It is very hard to select a normal warm white color with the hex code.
Or the light will be orange, or it will be very industrial white.

Does someone know or want to post their hex code?

It's not currently possible, as far as I'm aware, as Domoticz does not support the colour temperature setting - the only way is using a script direct to the bridge, then call this from Domoticz. Good explanation on the developer pages
