Changing Philips Hue without turning on

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm starting to play around with the Philips Hue. Got the Polyglot working great.
I want to change the colors based on the time of day.

How can I change the color, without turning on the light in the command? I have programs that run at certain times of day, that kicks off the color change. Some lights I want to turn on (outside potlights), but some I just want to store the color and not turn them on until the user does (hallway light).

It seems anytime you send a light a change, it turns on to whatever brightness is stored. Except you can't store a 0 in brightness, has to be 1 or higher.

My only workaround is so far is to store the new color in variables.  If the light is already on, then turn it on again. My 'turn on' program will set the color from the variables.
