show hue light under category lights?

[Guest]

If i add hue lights with the plugin, the lights will show as virtual device. Is there a way to "move" it to the light categories? So it will show in the app in the lights?

Before I used plugins and now I'm using virtual devices (VD) but for both I never found a way to put them under Lights section. But on the other hand it really does not matter because all my lights are automated so in 99% time we don't need to touch either buttons on app or switches on the wall

Quick « up » on this topic. Anyone found a solution since last post ?

There is no solution known to me so far. But I asked Fibaro some time ago, to check possibility to remake plug-in into something similar to Netatmo, because Netatmo can be accessed from Temperature section in Fibaro app.

 

I know Hue are light, but I meant by that to use same proxy control (lamp with slider, RGBW look for RGBW bulb) as Z-Wave devices use, when you add them to Fibaro system and locate Hue lights to Light section.

sry for my bad english, but can you also pls add that we can change the Picture for the Hue Lamps?

Unfortunately I have no solution. I would also very much like the Hue lights to behave as lights, be possible to add in scenes etc. Please add this function. I seriously consider bringing the HC2 back to the dealer, because I have quite a few Hue lights, and this is not making my life easier.

Setting up the Fibaro HC2 with a couple of dimmers and about 42 Hue bulbs, I found it very disappointing to learn the following: 

-It does not support the Hue movement sensors (with built in temperature sensors) 

-It does not support Hue switches

-It is not possible to categorize the Hue bulbs as lighs

-You do not inherit any attributts from the Hue app, so it's a mess to figure out where the bulbs are

 

My conclusion is that the Hue plugin need some serious work!

Maybe you can try this one:

 

It is virtual device so still can't be categorized to lighting in old app. In provided User manual you can find how to install and use this set. I'm working on new one, but don't know yet when I will publish it.
