The Phillips Hue + HC Lite Problem

[imLiquid 0]

Hi everyone.

 

So im still trying to find a way to get the phillips hue lights into fibaro HC Lite as a virtual device, so I can trigger them when motion is breached from a sensor.

 

Tried to follow the guide :

 

but even with the updates from the comments, I just can't get it to work, and no reply on the post from back then.

 

So this is my next step in finding out how to get it to work.

 

This is how it's set up now (not working)

I have followed every comment since release, and nothing works inside Fibaro, but direct from API it works.

I am aware that I can just make it work with Lua code, since I have HC2. But this is for testing that it works in HC Lite, since im planing setting HC Lite's up in other homes.

 

Really hope someone have a solution to this problem.

 

Thanks.

Why don't you use the fibaro plugin for hue. All your lights then get their own device-id and you can use a simple fibaro:call(device-id,"turnON") command.

@Alex de Bruin Like I said.

This is for Lite version of HC, and you can't code Lua on that. so i',m not able to just do fibaro:call(device-id,"turnON") sadly

You need to check the length of the string and adjust accordingly. Maybe that is the issue.

I think you code is not correct. Be careful with IP address: add 0 to 192.168.0.20 (in my case only ofcourse)

Okay, didn't realize it was that "Lite".

 

Is it not simply a misinterpretation of the IP-address followed by the hex CRLF code ?

192.168.0.30x0D0x0A

So I found out what the problem was.

 

I was missing a "/" after the PUT so it was

and not

also I changed the IP to .30 and that helped aswell.. Thanks so much for the help.

@Rikbast Did you ever find a solution on the slow respond time ?

Hi.

I want to use a Hue bulb as part of an scene, after reading seems that the only way to do that is with code/virtual device, many lines for HC2, but mine is HCL so not easy to find info and my coding skills are quite poor

I'm trying to learn about and my method actually is very slow, usually test and error based on copy paste and adapting the sequence, that use to be useful for understanding what I'm doing but not all.

After your post i've been able to have my hue api username and the bulb located, trying to replicate your sentence adapted to my case it does not work. probably cause i'm just sure until ...../lights/6/state,  the rest: HTTP/1.10x0D0x0AHost: 192.168.1.71x0D0xAContent-Lenght: 120x0D0x0AContent-Type: application/json0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A{"on":true} seems absolutely chinese for me and don't know if usefull but wrong spelling or completely a disaster. Where can I find info to know where is http/1.10 etc is coming from?

Thanks in advantage

I don't have HCL anymore, now HC2, so using LUA now. I did not look further in the response time of the HCL in combination with HUE,

but I don't think it really is an issue, it works.

lights/6 is the correct one, allready tested with {""on:true} {"on":false} commands ao clip api debugger prior to post

My Hue ip is 192.168.1.71 as seen on the command, but doesn't work,  is the sequence correctly typed?,  I mean did I introduced any extra space or type mismatch

The name of the buttons??

Thks for helping

Put an '0' behind ip-address like this: 192.168.1.710x0D0xA

Already tryed, but double checked just in case. Tested even with or without an space between host: ip (local: 192.xxx and local:192.xxx).

It's 'Length' not 'Lenght'

Your right, even that not working. Thks very much for the correction

Actualy the code is:

PUT /api/QJt....7cJT/lights/6/state HTTP/1.10x0D0x0AHost:192.168.1.71x0D0x0AContent-Length:120x0D0x0AContent-Type:application/json0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A {"on":true}

I'll keep searching..

I've got news about this complete mess.

Actually this code:

PUT /api/.......cJT/lights/6/state HTTP/1.10x0D0x0AHost: 192.168.1.710x0D0x0AContent-Length:450x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A{"on":true}0x0D0x0A

and Tachaaaaan.. is working, but just once .

Seems that the reason is not the code, i works once shoul work more times either for on adn off  situations. Tryed  on normal status, and after powering off, the hue hub and the HCL at the same time

Dupe to follow

Hi,

 

I recently updated the Hue Virtual Device for HCL (Home Center Lite). 

 

You need to replace [HUE_HUB_LOCAL_IP] with the local IP number of your Hue Hub (

)

You need to replace [HUE_USER_ID] with your Hue Hub User ID (

Please login or register to see this link.

)

You need to replace [LIGHT_ID] with your Light ID that you want to control (Starts from 1 and goes on as much as the numbers of lights that you have connected to your hue hub)

 

You need to create different virtual devices for each light.

 

Now you will be able to use the action of Hue Virtual Devices that you created in block scenes.

 

Best,

Kaan
