Change Philips Hue icons & device type

[Ed_N 1]

Hello there,

 

I come from Smartthings hub and trying to migrate most of the extras that I have been adding to the house.

 

After a bit of persevering, eventually I got the Philips Hue plugin to find my Hue lights, however I cannot find a way to change the icons. The somehow are recognised on the system as multimedia devices. 

 

If I click on Lights, I have nothing. When I click devices I get the attached. 

 

Any idea how to change the device type and icons?

I have HC2 with 4.090

 

Thanks

 

Ed

On Fibaro HC Philips HUE can be controlled either with plugin or with virtual device. Neither of this two choices can be declared as light and show under light section on the apps. I try both options and decided that virtual device (VD) is much better choice because it gives more freedom how to control HUE and icons can be change to show bulb with different brightness.

 

Philips HUE plugin as far as I know is under Other plugin category so don't know why is recognized as multimedia. Since you own HC2 I think it is good to start learning LUA and write all scenes in that language since it gives you endless possibilities in comparison to block scenes and plugins.

 

So if you decide do use VD instead of plugin for HUE lights then complete code you can find here:
