script?

[ajachierno]

Has anyone had any luck integrating this into a script? I would simply like to change the color with a script but thus far have not figured it out.

There is a Philips Hue API that uses JSON via HTTP commands.

Here is a link to get you started:

Here is a C# script to change the color of a Philips hue bulb, juste replace the colorControlFeatRef value with the ref# of the color control of your bulb, and set the RGB hex code of the color you want to the color variable.

public object Main(object[] parms)
{
   int colorControlFeatRef = 1839;
   string color = "001199";

   CAPI.CAPIControl[] controls = hs.CAPIGetControlEx(colorControlFeatRef, true);
   CAPI.CAPIControl ctrl = Array.Find(controls, c => (c.ControlType == Enums.CAPIControlType.Color_Picker));

   if (ctrl != null)
   {
      ctrl.ControlString = color;
      if (hs.CAPIControlHandler(ctrl) != CAPI.CAPIControlResponse.All_Success)
      {
         hs.WriteLog("Script", string.Format("Problem while trying to set device {0} to {1}", colorControlFeatRef, color));
      }
   }
   else
   {
       hs.WriteLog("Script", string.Format("Can't find color picker control for device {0}", colorControlFeatRef));
   }
   return 0;
}

So will something like this work with this plugin?

[CODESub Main(ByVal Params As Object)

Dim s As Double = hs.DeviceValueEx(1994)

if s =2 then
hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetLightsHueSat", {False, "WestLeft", 255, 1310, 255, 10})

elseif s =3 then
hs.PluginFunction("JowiHue", "", "SetLightsHueSat", {False, "WestLeft", 255, 1965, 255, 10})

][/CODE]

If not are there any examples of script calls for this plugin?

Thanks,
Tim

As Jon wrote, you have used scripting calls for the JowiHue plugin. This forum is for the HomeSeer Hue plugin. The help file for JowiHue has all the scripting calls.

I do realize that, but was wondering if this plugin has scripting calls similar to the JowiHue plugin. Since I haven't seen any documentation on the HS Hue plugin.

Got it! I use Wim’s HS4 JowiHue plug-in, after having used his HS3 version for years. It is worth a look.

Here is an animation we still use for Christmas. The driveway path lights and the garage sconces are running a JowiHue animation. It works reliably every year.

Yup, I went back to JowiHue.
