Philips Hue choice status update when switched outside of Domoticz Topic is solved

[tozzke]

I know this might be a bit of a strange request because most of us (including me) waited a long time for the status of Hue bulbs being dealt with correctly within Domoticz when switched with an other app or a Livingwhites remote control. It seems that since a recent update it's the case that the event system will trigger on changes of the Hue bulbs when switched ouside of Domoticz which is (in some cases) great!

But now my issue... I kind of got used to the fact Domoticz wouldn't trigger events when I switched my bulbs externally. I used it quite frequently to "overrule" the bulbs/events and now this isn't possible anymore, the events just retrigger which making overruling impossible.

Is there a possibility to add an option @ the Hue Bridge hardware within Domoticz whether you'd want the event system to update the bulb's status correctly when switched externally or not.

That will break all logic
Can't you rebuild your event scripts ?

should become this?
