Hue
HSYCO integrates the Philips Hue wireless bulbs through their bridge device connected to the local network.
Contents
HSYCO Configuration
Add a HUE I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.
Options
ID | Default | Values | Description |
---|---|---|---|
startupevents | false | true | generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase |
false | start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system | ||
mac | <mac_address> | if specified, the driver will connect to the bridge device with the corresponding MAC address. If not specified this driver will connect to the first bridge found on the local network | |
pollinterval | 10 | n > 0 | the data acquisition interval, in seconds |
Setup
The first time HSYCO connects to the Hue bridge, an authentication procedure is required. Configure the HUE I/O Server as described above and restart HSYCO. After few seconds the datapoint 'authentication' of the I/O Server will be set to '1'. At this point you have 30 seconds to manually press the button on the Hue bridge. From now on, HSYCO is authenticated and this procedure will be no longer needed.
N.B. the authentication is linked to the ID assigned to the HUE I/O Server. Changing the ID will require performing the authentication procedure again.
Datapoints
Each Hue bridge can be connected to up to 50 light bulbs. Each bulb is assigned a numeric ID by the bridge. The driver generates several datapoints for each bulb having the prefix 'light.<n>', where <n> is the numeric ID of the bulb.
ID | Value | R/W | Description |
