Control Philips Hue Via Virtual Device - HCL

[Kaan 0]

Hi,

 

I have a Homecenter Lite and I am trying to control Philips Hue bulbs in my scenes (so the Hue plugin does not solve my problem).

 

Good news is Philips Hue Hub accepts local API calls via HTTP Put and I can easily create a virtual device for my hue hub.

 

Bad news is no matter how much I have tried I cannot find the right format to send PUT requests in a string format in my Virtual Device's button action. (Remember I have HCL so I cannot use LUA, only create string requests).

 

Would you please help me how to send a JSON data using HTTP PUT method through Virtual Device string? Here is what I've been trying so far:

 

PUT /api/MN6MXKm4Q5MrCrpB11RLrzSQY3ReJtek4s86FOEH/lights/1/state HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 12
Content-Type: application/json

{"on":true}

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 (

)

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
