oberkc Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Yes. Set up programs to call the hue configuration. From mobilinc, call the program. Unfortunately, you will have to pre-define the hue settings that you can call. Edited May 13, 2017 by oberkc Link to comment

I am getting no response from the hue light. I don't know where you are seeing this response but it is a standard ACK = acknowledgement. Code 200 = OK. This means the intiator sent a packete of information and the reception end sent back an acknowledgement. = everything understood. Link to comment

larryllix Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Here are some of my resources I am using. You will need to copy the protocol things exactly. I use variable substitution so that one NR can do many similar functions so that only a few resources are needed. I don't share between bulbs until UDI changes the way the caching of NR commands is done. Right now if you change variables right after the call the last call may use the new values. Note the bulbs need to be turned on as in the text box. I use three NR for each bulb = On, Off, and Set. Set requires variables to be set up first, while On and Off only require the NR call.

Been a long time, and I am not sure exactly sure what you are asking but, "ISY994user" is the user name in the Hue Hub that I set it up with. Edited May 17, 2017 by larryllix Link to comment
oberkc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 When I compare my hue resources to Larryllix' screenshots, I see a long string of characters (that hold no meaning for me) in place of "ISY994use". Link to comment

Must be the default name of your hub and you "just got it going" and now it is later. Edited May 17, 2017 by larryllix Link to comment
n8ur9irl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 yes i did . just confused about whether to put my hue login id or the hue id generated by the debugger. i reread and got my answer in larryllixs instructions. still cant get it to make my light come on. Ill keep trying. Link to comment
oberkc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 "You must have put them there." It has been long enough ago that I would have to refresh my memory of the details, but I assume it is the login credentials for the hue hub, or something like that. Once it worked, I stopped caring. Link to comment

DualBandAid Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Off the top of my head, are you sure you are saving TWICE? It's an easy step to miss. Also, along those lines, are you 100% sure you are following all the instructions? Finally, I would suggest rebooting everything. That cleared up a problem for me. Also this... just confused about whether to put my hue login id or the hue id generated by the debugger. i reread and got my answer in larryllixs instructions. Just so you know, if you are referring to an online Hue login ID, I have never signed up for that...so that ID, or anything about it, wouldn't factor into my instructions. Link to comment

This has all been a while since I wrote those instructions but vaguely, I betcha it's this: at one point, it seems you could specify your own Hue ID. And make it sensical. By the time I came along, you had to go with the default Hue ID...which was a long string of characters with no meaning. Link to comment

IIRC as with most of these peripheral devices you have to set up security, at least a user or device name before any other device can talk to it. If a 200 code is being returned then it is accepting the protocol header, anyway, but the problem is more likely that no ON code is being sent so the bulb will never light up.

oberkc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Is the only way to add pictures being via URL? Can one not simply past a jpg-type file directly? I would past a couple of shots of my resources, but am not feeling overly ambitious enough to load them to some file sharing site. Link to comment

I would past a couple of shots of my resources, but am not feeling overly ambitious enough to load them to some file sharing site. The "More Reply Options" adavnced posting editor has an upload mechanism for pictures. There is a size limit though. I use 10 Mpixel photos reduced by 25% each axis in .jpg format and they seem to be fine but the originals get rejected. Once you upload a picture it is in your media library available in the usual editor. Link to comment

larryllix Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Well. OK, then... here is my network resource to turn ON a hue light. Yeah. That string of confused numbers must be the account or username inside the Hue Hub. I followed somebody's instructions here and the example, to get it going, was to use ISY994user, so I did that. Since it worked I had no reason to ever go back and edit it. I have a hard enough time remembering stuff when I can't cut'n paste text. Link to comment
oberkc Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 As I go back and re-look at all this hue stuff I am reminded, too, that it would be valuable to assign one's hue hub with a static address. (I assume most would do this through the router.) The static address would help ensure things keep working after power failures or other reboots. 1 Link to comment

Well, I don't know, hence my question. A year ago, that seemed the best way. But there is this new product out there that I'm not familiar with that possibly might be a better way...and I thought maybe someone on this thread might have enough familiarity with it to weigh in.
