Hey, Hue v2 plugin should be in the Beta store if you are brave enough to try. Not compatible with older v1 API (lights will have different IDs), Hue and Saturation removed from API, there are bugs and crashes :-) I don't have a new Pro bridge yet so testing with my old one.

Alternatively check out `huev2` branch on the Github

It will be a couple of months before I get home to check this out. I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this plugin alive.

The old plugin has been great.

I'm using EISY & Hue Bridge Pro.  No problem updating from the non-production store and seeing all my Hue lights.  Plug-in is great and already way better than going through Matter.  Everything seems to work except effects and scenes which have no effect and appear to do nothing.  Scenes working is all I need to finish updating my programs.

Thank you for testing, I've added scenes just now. Effect is weird - bridge seems to accept the command but nothing happens.

Thanks, it's fully working now for my use case.

Scenes work now, but I can't figure out the order.  As I step through the scenes on the EISY and watch the Hue App, they jump between ones I created and preloaded scenes.  Luckily, I can just select 00 and edit that scene to what I want, making it easy.  The built-in and custom text in the scene drop down is dated since you can now delete, add, or edit all the scenes.

Minor issues are, I see disconnect/reconnects on the HUE plug-in a few times throughout the day when nothing is going on.  Also, when I blast out 5 bigger commands in an EISY program, like RGB color and brightness, I can see up to a 5 second delay before the last command gets to the bulb.  I don't see this kind of delay with scenes or off commands, which I assume are smaller packets.

If you watch plugin log when it starts - it should tell you the scene order for each group. For some reason order is different depending on a room/zone.

Yup.  Hue rooms now start empty of scenes, just a button to import something from the gallery (that maps it to your bulbs where it becomes room specific) and a suggestion button.  I had a lot of rooms created with older versions that pre-populated with Hue Scenes.  Now it's cleaner, the first one you create (or import) is Scene 00.

Does the hue v2 plugin support Motion in bulbs or that something that’s coming?

I get notified of a disconnect/reconnect every 61 minutes.  The log gives this reason..

Not yet, as soon as I’ll get some hardware with motion :)

Interesting, it’s a watchdog that checks last time bridge sent us any event, I may bump that to 24 hours 

I know it's turned on. I haven't played with it yet. Let me look into it. I'll get back to you....

 

Also, I noticed that in the tree, I cannot drag the all off buttons into a folder like I have with the hue in the node folder.  It will not allow me to move it with the rest of it no matter what I do.. just a FYI

Just an opinion on the Watchdog, I'd argue that restarting the node and taking it out of commission for a minute, even once a day, is undesirable unless an actual error is confirmed.  Is there a way this check could be replaced by sending a short ping or dummy command to confirm the connection if no other events have happened in the interval?  I assume sending a command and not getting a response would trigger recovery, but in that case, it would be justified.  Then, assuming no errors, the node would be more responsive with 100% uptime.

You should be able to mitigate that by changing the state of any node once in 24 hour period, like turn light on/off or add a motion sensor. If no events received from the bridge in a specified period - I just assume the connection is broke somewhere (firewall state expired of what not). My bridge is sending some sort of geofence event every couple minutes so I have not seen any issues with 60 minute interval so far....

I'll test any new version that gets posted.  The latest Beta is pretty good, but still restarts every hour for me.  I've tried scripting hourly non-destructive commands like query and set rate, but they apparently don't generate events.  Not quite ready to flash a bulb hourly, I'd rather buy a hue motion sensor.

update: everything seems good now. No hourly resets. Seems faster too.

Its posted as release now but labeled wrong.

When you install it still says 1.01 not 1.02 in the pg3x interface.

So it keeps thinking an update is needed.

From Benoit- The version specified in the code when running polyglot.start() must match the version in the store.

 

I think it should be better now, I updated the server.json with a correct release, thanks for report!

all Good!!!

Running into a problem with Hue Ambiance White bulbs. I only have 2 of the White Ambiance bulbs, but as soon as the plugin gets to the first White Ambiance bulb, it stops loading any more lights. The plugin still runs, but in my case it leaves me with only have 12 of my 22 hue lights available in eisy.

I think I might be running into a similar problem with the Ambience White bulbs. Attached is a zipped log file.

Thank you all for the logs, please try 1.0.3 from production. I don't have those color temperature only ones right now so can't really test.
