A PicoC script to control Philips Hue lights from a Loxone Miniserver. Using this solution it is not necessary to rely on a thirdparty bridge to translate between the Miniserver and the Hue Bridge.
Note
Unfortunately this PicoC code can only send commands to the Hue system. Is is however not possible to receive events from the Hue system. Have a look at the repo hue-to-loxone if you also want to receive events from your Hue system.
Follow these steps to get the PicoC script working:
- Generate a Philips hue API key. This blog entry describes how to do this.
- Enter the ip address and Hue API key in the PicoC script.
- Get a list of all the id's of the lights connected to your Hue bridge. Go to:
https://<bridge-ip>/api/<api-key>/lights. This will show a json file with all the id's. - Enter all the id's and device types you want to control in the PicoC script.
- If you exceed the 13 devices limit, you can ether use Hue groups
https://<bridge-ip>/api/<api-key>/groups, or you can run up to 8 PicoC scripts simultaneously on the Loxone Miniserver.
