support for Philips Hue Contact Sensor

Post by AndreDumont »

Hi All, Since 2023 Philips Hue brought Contact Sensors to the market.
Being fed up for years with multiple RF based sensors 434/868Mhz ranges of different brands I tried, I bought myself recently 2 Philips Hue Contact Sensors. The sesnsors work fine in Hue App, except that don't show up in Domoticz :-(
Having tried to disable/enable hardware a couple of times in combination with allow devices, monitoring domoticz logs, they still don't show up.

Were they implemented already in Domoticz, and if not can I ask to get these implemented?
If they were implemented already, is there any reason why they don't show up?
I don't see an error or warning in the log either, so I was wondering if these were implemented in domoticz.
If you need additional info or testing for it pls let me know.

I'm running domoticz for 10+ years on a Raspberry pi 3+, stable version.

Best to have a look in the PhilipsHue code of Domoticz... Maybe it's a small change you have to do.
About the RF based sensors, have you tried Zigbee? (Zigbee2MQTT, Hue is also zigbee)
Quality outlives Quantity!

Hi Gizmocuz, thanks!
I haven't tried Zigbee yet, so I'll have a look at it.
Same for the Hue software in Domoticz, haven't look at this at all yet.
Is there any guidance or documentation on this to start on that?
thks,
Andre
