Hi,

@Andrei: Does this new 'like' firmware resolve the issues the current 7.0.11 has with First Alert ZCOMBO smoke detectors? Thanks!

No, it doesn't. This is basically the 7.11 release with the changes required for this new Philips Hue plugin version. As a note, my colleagues are working on fixing this issue and if everything is ok, if QA confirm the fix, I will post the new firmware URL.

mcv.andrei : I need unistall the other puglin HUE ?

It should work without removing it but to be sure all initial configuration settings are made, you could uninstall it before updating.

All the Bests,

Nice work, very simple interface. I love

Hi all,

Here is the firmware upgrade URL for VeraLight/3 units :

http://download.mios.com/rt3662_betafirmware/rt3662_Luup_ui7-1.7.692-en-mios.squashfs

!!!NOTE!!!
Please keep in mind that this is a NIGHTLY BUILD (not fully tested) if you want to install it on your main controller!!!


Regarding First Alert ZCOMBO smoke detectors fix, it didn't pass the QA so I think that in the beginning of the next week we will have one,  I will keep you updated.

Best Regards,

Andrei, thank you for the update and the effort. I'll hold off until you post the link to a ZCOMBO fixed version for Vera 3 and will give it a try then. Since I now added my HTR Receivers blaring loudly to the 'Fire!' scene I would prefer it not go off every 30 minutes.

Just installed the FW and new plugin version. Response rate is a lot better! Thanx andrei. Detection of my beyond luminaire works fine. Only the luminaire color picker doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone please enlighten me how to use this plugin in a luup script?

I want to set Hue and Saturation and of course the brightness - I can turn then on and off but I can't get the rest working - not via set_variable and not via call_action ...

Does this plugin have the functionality to invoke the 'colorloop' effect for Hue bulbs in scenes - i.e., the  {"effect":"colorloop"} resource? It would be great to be able to have a scene start a colorloop effect!

Did you ever find anything about this? I'm in the same boat, I can turn on and off but would like retrieve and set the color.

This is not supported yet, but it will be added in a future plugin version.

For this you can use :

Code: [Select]

http://GATEWAY_IP/port_3480/data_request?id=lu_action&DeviceNum=LIGHT_DEVICE_ID&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:PhilipsHue1&action=SetHueAndSaturation&Hue=VALUE&Saturation=VALUE
http://GATEWAY_IP/port_3480/data_request?id=lu_action&DeviceNum=LIGHT_DEVICE_ID&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:PhilipsHue1&action=SetColorTemperature&ColorTemperature=VALUE

You can also run a scene like this :

Code: [Select]

http://GATEWAY_IP/port_3480/data_request?id=lu_action&output_format=json&DeviceNum=BRIDGE_DEVICE_ID&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:PhilipsHue1&action=RunHueScene&Scene=SCENE_ID
Note1: "SCENE_ID" should be the id reported by the bridge. You can find the ids by looking at "BridgeScenes" variable from the bridge device created by the plugin in user_data.
Note2: Plugin gets automatically 6 hue scenes(we call them hue presets to avoid any confusion with the scenes in Vera) that are displayed on bridge device. These presets can be edited and used in scenes as actions.

I now get
"error on line 2 at column 50: xmlns:u: 'Unknown Service' is not a valid URI"
when trying to install the Hue app.

This is the URL I use:  http://192.168.2.4:3480/data_request?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=CreatePlugin&PluginNum=8162&Version=28791

Is this worth trying yet? From what I've gathered by reading the thread, it's still not on par with intveltr's version?

This is an error generated by the xml parser from your browser, but the plugin should be installed, please look for "Philips Hue by MiOS" device.

You can give it a try and give us your feedback. Both plugins should work in the same time, there is no problem with this. It is possible to have some issues with it, I don't have all Philips hue devices to test it, that is why I released the plugin as a beta version. Thanks to the people here, lots of issue were found and fixed. If you want, you can install it and let me know if you have any issues.

As a note, the official version will be released soon with additional features that are not included in this beta version.

I have a Vera Lite system and the Philips Hue bridge is connected and live, but the only lights that I use are the GE Link (less expensive, dimmable lights). They show up on my Hue app but not on Vera. Any suggestions?

[andreimios]

Hi elvincent,

It seems to be the same situation as in the case of Cree lights, the support for GE Link lights is not included, I don't know all friends of hue models. There is an easy fix for this, but I will need access to your unit to see how the lights are reported by the bridge. Please enable tech support and send me the access codes via email.
