HueBridge

This module is a part of the NetHomeServer. The HueBridge-Item manages the connection to the Philips Hue Bridge, the little round device that connects to the network and that manages the ZigBee connections with the Hue Lamps.

The HueBridge-Item can find the address of the Hue bridge itself with a discovery protocol, all you have to do is to invoke the findBridge-action and it should automatically find the bridge.

In order to use the bridge, you must register a username. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a username (at least 10 characters), enter it in the HueBridge-Item and save
  2. Press the button on the actual bridge
  3. Within 30 seconds from the press of the button, invoke the registerUser-action in the HueBridge-Item

Now the username should be registered in the Bridge and the Item ready to use. If you go to the Create-Item-page in the NetHome GUI, all avaliable lamps should now be presented ready to create.

Attributes

  • State [get] Connection state to the Bridge
  • Address [get] [set] Address of the Bridge
