Hue Light

[jsyers]

Smart People,

I am trying to turn on a a Hue light by using on and even both of the scripts below:
''On
hs.SetDeviceValue("420", 255)
'' or
hs.CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(420, False, "255", False, True))

The problem is the light turns on and then fades out. Watching the process on the [Home] page, the On button never gets underlined which lead me to believe there is a prior step I am missing, maybe post step. Any help will be appreciated!

the Hue devices use the 255 only to switch the device on, after that the dim (1-254) value is shown as value, so the On button will never become underlined.

Personally I use this in scripts:

Dim cc As HomeSeerAPI.CAPIControl = hs.CAPIGetSingleControlbyuse(ref, 3) 
cc.ControlValue = 254
Dim cr As HomeSeerAPI.CAPIControlResponse = hs.CAPIControlHandler(cc)
