I was not satisfied with the features and the quality of the Hue plugin so I created this ALTHue plugin. in the same vein as ALTUI, this is the Alternate Edition of the Hue Plugin.
First version is 0.1 and It supports pairing with the hub, creating Hue lamps ( including RGB ) and Hue Motion sensors and make them all appear as Vera devices , ready for your scenes. these are true Vera devices , so using same device types , same device variables and same device Upnp actions.
Install and Setup instructions can be found here :
https://github.com/amg0/ALTHue/blob/master/Doc/ALTHue%20Philips%20Hue%20plugin.pdfLogv1.4 - implementation of effect mode ( none or colorloop ) on compatible lamps
v1.3 - exact reversible law for mapping brightness back and forth
v1.2 - some bug fixes
v0.9 - IKEA support
v0.8 - ability to show and run HUE scenes
v0.7 - better settings on UI5, hardening of RefreshHueData, list and delete Hue app keys
v0.5 - partial working on UI5 ( not RGB )
v0.4 - proper ArmedTripped behavior for motion sensor
v0.3 - few bug fix, JS code refactor to avoid name clashes
v0.1 - initial release
UPNP actions- SetDebug( bool ) : to set the debug mode or not
- Refresh( ) : to force a data refresh from Hue
- PairWithHue( ) : to trigger a Pairing request , no action if already paired
- UnpairWithHue( ) : to unpair from hue, no action if not paired
- RunHueScene( hue_scene_id ) : to run a particular Hue Scene ( by its Hue ID )
- SetEffect(childid, effect ) : to set the effect mode. effect must be 'none' or 'colorloop'

Easy installchoose one of the methods below
Note: .svg files from Icons folder must be uploaded on:UI7 => /www/cmh/skins/default/img/devices/device_states
UI5 => /www/cmh/skins/default/icons
on UI5 : you need to install dkjson.lua in /usr/lib/lua/ on your vera manually ( winscp )Additional step for UI5manually upload files from
https://github.com/amg0/ALTHue/tree/master/UI5 in your plugin folders.
These are device files ( xml json ) that must override the one installed by the plugin and the store. the reason is that UI5 does not support some color selection features we use in it.
UI5 is a nice to have, it is not really supported any more ( untested )
