A small GUI for accessing Philips HUE Lamps under any Windows environment.
- Setup and pairing with your HUE Bridge
- Autodetection of your HUE Bridge by using Philips nupnp service
- You can control your lamps by room or by the individual lamp
- Presets with config-reader (Writer & Preset Creator is still to come)
- The preset file is called "presets.cfg" - every preset has four lines:
Line | Variable | Example / Format | Explanation |
---|---|---|---|
1 | ID | 1: / Int32 | The primary key of the preset (simple auto increment) |
2 | Name | name:Colour Loop / string | The name of your preset |
3 | Sleep(duration) in ms | sleep:500 / Int32 | The sleepduration after each iteration (if it's not a loop) or after each cycle (if loop) |
4 | Commands | commands:turnOn:3|loop|campfire:3|sleep:100 / String | The list of the commands for the preset - the structure is the following: function:arg1,arg2,... |
- Current commands for presets (basically all functions from HUEFunctions.cs acquired by reflection):
Command | Arguments | Explanation | Limited Range | Target |
---|---|---|---|---|

- Preset-Builder
- Nicer GUI (hopefully)
- Cleaner Code
Since I don't own any old HUE hardware (newest Bridge and RGB Lamps only) I can't tell if there will be any bug with older bridges or lamps. However, if you're using the same hardware as I do, you should be fine. Feel free to report any bug.
