I'm not sure where to start so I will try to be as clear as possible (and try not to lose you in my rambling)...
I am relatively new to HS3 and am still wrapping my head around the awesome power that I am gaining over my home. I am learning a lot and consider myself very technical and a quick learn.
With that said, I feel like I have bitten off more than I can chew on my own...
I am in the process of building our master shower and I want the light system to be amazing. After tons of research and trial and error, I have landed on the Phillips Hue lights and this plugin.
I have installed:
4x color lights in the ceiling
1x Lightstrip Plus along the bench edge
1x Lightstrip Extension in the niche
1x Hue Tap mounted just outside the shower.
(all in waterproofed channels, of course... since I couldn't find an IP rating for them).
What I would like to do is create an animation (or two) for the lights that I can assign to one or more of the Hue Tap buttons. Some kind of underwater theme. I have played around with various Android apps with varying success, but they don't seem to be able to reliably work with Tap assignments... And the wife will require something that 'just works'.
My hold-up right now is that I am still too green to know exactly what I am doing with events, and scenes etc. to configure the plugin for these animations.... I'm not even 100% sure the plugin can accomplish what I am trying to do.
Could someone please direct me to, or provide a simple instruction on creating a basic animation? I'm sure I could take it from there and expand it for my needs... I just need a push-start
Thanks! You guys rock,
Grey
