[APP][Pro] Philips Hue Extensions [Abandoned]

I have the same problem as Wesley_Witjes. When the app is installed it crashes. Ans when I get to the configuration page it keeps on infinitely loading.

2020-05-16 08:46:39 [log] [HueExtensionsApp] HueExtensionsApp is running...
/app.js:15
			Homey.ManagerSettings.on('set', this.onSettingsChanged.bind(this));
			                                                       ^

v1.1.0 is out!

Pressing discover and authenticate, it shows the IP but no prompt or anything to connect the hue bridge. Tried pressing the hue bridge button after that and rediscovering doesn’t set anything. Hitting save also ask for an API… what now?

It is inteded to work like this:

  1. click on authenticate
  2. the ip should have been discovered and there appears a green message saying that you now should press the button and again click authenticate again
  3. the app key should be retrieved and you get a success message.

As I understand you step 1 is only partially sucessfully, in detail you get the ip but not the green message?
Can you please check that the ip is actually correct and that homey and the bridge are in the same network?

I need to investigate what happens here, might some time as I am quiet busy right now.

But of course you can retrive the key manually, see the official documentation for details: https://developers.meethue.com/develop/get-started-2/

Yes my experience is the same @RoyWissenburg.
The hue bridge IP is correct and on the same network. Will add the key manually too. Not sure why it doesn’t show the prompt too.

Ook bij mij is het gelukt het ip adres en api code in te stellen. Echter kan hij ook geen groepen of losse lampen vinden. Ik kan helaas ook niet vinden hoe ik deze in de app kan aanmaken. Ook de groepen uit de Groep app van Homey herkend hij niet. Hoor het graag. Lijkt me een geweldige aanvulling!

Homey opnieuw opgestart en de ruimte kan ik nu als groep vinden. Ga hiermee aan de slag.

Bedankt!

So I manually added the API key, and somehow still don’t see any lights or rooms when I tried to make a flow…

I have several Hue Lights in several rooms and in several zones. However, I cannot find anywhere to make groups and i the Hue Essentials app there are no groups available when using the app in a flow.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: After restarting the app, all rooms and zones appeared as groups!

Feature request: Return to previous state.

This can come handy when you temporarily changed intensity due to movement or something. Return to previous state would the return the light to whatever state it was before the last change.

I do see how this can be a challenge if the Hue hub does not support it and you have to build that functionality. Might not even be doable. But I leave the for the pro dev to decide :wink:

There is an app that allows you to restore the old state. In earlier versions of the app I tried it with Hue lamps including bridge, but it did not work properly. How the current state is, I don’t know.

I would like to have this possibility in Philips Extension App also.

Hi, thanks for this app! It’s really nice.
However I have some issues I would like to share:

I would like to create “wake up” light - slowly dim the light in my bedroom from 0 fo 100%, and color temperature from 100% to 0%. Any by saying “slowly” I mean like 5 minutes or so.

I have two problems:
1.) The “duration” of each action card is limited to 10 seconds, which means it’s useless for my purpose. The original Hue app has unlimited duration.
2.) There’s no “set absolute brightness of a group”. I know there’s a similar card in the original Hue app, but it’s only similar - I can’t specify duration in milliseconds, and I can’t specify duration using variable.

So to sum up, I suggest:

  • change the limited slider for duration for simple, but unlimited input field (let user type in the number or choose a variable)
  • add “set absolute brightness of a group” for completness

Thanks in advance!
