One additional remark from my side..

 

WHen I still had my Hue's I had issues when addressing them too quickly after each other.

For example, when I'd fire off 5 commands after each other to turn on 5 different Hue bulbs, often 1, 2 or 3 wouldn't switch on.

I fixed this by including a sleep statement after each call for 2000ms or so..

 

Not sure though whether others experience(d) the same issues, or whether it was just my setup for whatever reason..

That's true it is documented in the philips hue api FAQ

 

 

 

How many commands you can send per second?

You can send commands to the lights too fast. If you stay roughly around 10 commands per second to the /lights resource as maximum you should be fine. For /groups commands you should keep to a maximum of 1 per second.
