ioBroker Philips Hue Bridge Adapter

==============

English :gb:

This adapter connects your Philips Hue Bridges with ioBroker to control Philips Hue LED bulbs, Friends of Hue LED lamps, stripes, plugs like from Osram, and other SmartLink capable devices (like LivingWhites and some LivingColors).

Setup

Once you have installed this adapter within ioBroker, create an adapter instance accordingly. Next, you need to connect your Hue bridge with ioBroker within the adapter settings:

• If you are using another bridge than v2, configure port to 80 (non-https), else 443 (https) should be the way to go.
• Click on "Find Bridge" button to get the IP address of your bridge. This will search for all bridges in your environment. Then select the bridge to which you want to connect. The field "Bridge Address" will be populated with the IP address of your chosen Hue bridge.
• Next, click on "Create User" button in the settings and then walk to your Hue bridge device, so your hardware, to push its round button. You'll gonna have 30 seconds to proceed. Once you pushed the button, the field "Bridge User" should be populated with a generated string.
• Modify any other options in the adapter settings and then select "save and close".
• Finally, you should be all set: The adapter will generate all objects to control your Hue devices accordingly.

Please note: Adapter settings button "Find Bridge" will be inactive if field "Bridge Address" is populated, and button "Create User" will be inactive if field "Bridge User" is populated.

Settings

Name	Description
Bridge address	IP address of your Hue bridge, you can try to detect it by pressing Find Bridge button.
Port	Port of your Hue bridge, normally 443 (SSL) and 80 (non-SSL).
SSL	If checked, connecton is secured via SSL, port will automatically change to 443 (it is strongly recommended to use SSL).
User	Username of your bridge user. You can create it, by pressing Create User button and following the screen instructions.
Ignore scenes	If checked, scenes will not be shown/controlled by the adapter.
Ignore groups	If checked, groups will not be shown/controlled by the adapter.
"Legacy" structure	To support backwards compatibility, it is possible to hold an old object structure in ioBroker. This old structure is hue.<instance_number>.<brdige_name_channel>.<light_or_group_channel>.<state>. The new structure removes <brdige_name_channel> and thus makes it necessary to adapt old scripts, etc. If an existing old strcuture is detected by the adapter, the structure will be used without checking the checkbox. However, if migration from old to new structure is desired, delete the whole hue.<instance_number> namespace once.
Native turn off/on behaviour	If checked, the adapter will turn on/off lights in the same fashion as the native Hue app does. Otherwise, lamps will be set to a level of 100 % when switching on.
Sync software sensors	Also sync software sensors. These are virtual sensors, e.g. created by Hue Labs scenes. By controlling the status datapoint of such a sensor you can start/stop scenes which follow this logic. In most cases 0 turns scene off and 1 turns it on.
Polling	If checked, the adapter will poll state changes, otherwise it can only be used to control lamps, not to show their status.
Polling interval	Defines how often the states will be polled, and thus updated in ioBroker. Low polling intervals can cause performance issues in some settings. Hence, the minimum allowed polling interval is 2 seconds. If polling interval is set to less than 2 seconds it will be set to 2 seconds during runtime.

Bindet Philips Hue / LivingColors / LivingWhites Lampen ein. In den Adapter-Settings muss die IP der Hue Bridge sowie ein Username konfiguriert werden. Um einen User zu aktivieren einmal auf create user drücken und dann innerhalb von 30 Sekunden den Button an der Hue bridge drücken. Dann wird automatisch der User übergeben.
