Xathros Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Xathros, I don't suppose you know how to get the ISY to interface with the Philips Hue? I have a very complicated set up with the two just to make the light change to blue and flash at 7pm then go back to white. I know the Hue bulbs are capable of working with the ISY, but I cannot figure out how to make them work properly and do what I need, such as the above. I haven't played with Hue yet. There are others here that have. I know there is an IFTTT channel for Hue that you might be able to trigger with an email. Once I do get my Hue, I will be attempting direct control over the LAN. I don't expect to be working on that for a few months yet. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Xathros Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Xathros, Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, very interesting thread as I am looking to implement something similar as well. I was not aware of the ISY proxy Will have to look into that ... do you use it for anything else? Always happy to help when I can. I'm not sure what you're referring to with ISY Proxy. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
PurdueGuy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I mentioned the ISY proxy. It allows you to install it on a web server (not on ISY) and make non-password-protected calls to the REST interface on ISY using the password. It essentially takes the password-lea request, adds the password, forwards it to ISY, gets the answer, and sends it back to the requestor. Link to comment
Teken Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I really wish there was a method that didn't require so much middle ware to get this going. As much as I dislike the whole Apple thing their *Home Kit* is exactly what is needed to allow 3rd party devices all talking the same language and integrating one another. I really can't wait until that day comes. Link to comment

There are a few things I would like to do but haven't due to the need to my user/pass to be sent in the clear. Started building some cgi scripts to get around that. -Xathros Link to comment
