SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Philips Hue smart lighting through manual app interactions is slow and cannot be automated. This Skill lets you control lights, rooms, and scenes directly through the OpenHue CLI using simple commands. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Light Control: Turn individual lights on or off, and adjust brightness, color temperature, and color by name or hex value. - Room and Scene Management: Control entire rooms at once and activate predefined Hue scenes like Relax or Concentrate. - Use Case: Before starting a movie, run a single command to dim the living room lights to 10 percent brightness instead of opening the Hue app and adjusting each light manually. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn on the bedroom lamp at 50 percent brightness using openhue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I control Philips Hue lights from the command line?▼

Use the openhue CLI to control Hue lights from the terminal. Run commands like openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --on --brightness 50 to toggle power and adjust brightness, or openhue get light to list all available lights.

How do I activate a Philips Hue scene with openhue?▼

Activate a Hue scene by running openhue set scene with the scene name and target room, for example openhue set scene "Relax" --room "Bedroom". List available scenes first with openhue get scene.

Does openhue work with non-Hue smart home devices?▼

No, openhue only supports Philips Hue devices connected through a Hue Bridge. It does not support other smart home brands, HomeKit scenes, thermostats, TVs, or non-Hue smart plugs.

Why does openhue fail on first run?▼

The first run requires pairing with the Hue Bridge by pressing the physical button on the bridge. The bridge must also be reachable on the local network before any commands will work.

Can I set colors on all Philips Hue bulbs?▼

Color commands only work on color-capable Hue bulbs. White-only bulbs support brightness and, where applicable, color temperature in the 153 to 500 mirek range, but not RGB or named colors.
