SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the hassle of manually switching Philips Hue lights and scenes by letting you control them directly from the terminal with simple, repeatable commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Philips Hue Bridge Control: Turn lights on/off and adjust brightness, color temperature, and color for specific bulbs and rooms.
  • Room and Scene Management: Set whole-room states (including dimming and off) and trigger named scenes tied to rooms.
  • Automation-Friendly: Works well for scheduled automations like turning lights down at bedtime or brightening a workspace in the morning (e.g., via cron).

Quick Start

Tell your AI to turn on the "Bedroom Lamp" at 20% brightness and set a warm color temperature for a bedtime setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about openhue

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Trigger Philips Hue scenes from a terminal by specifying exact room and scene names in the CLI command. The system communicates with the Hue Bridge locally to activate predefined lighting configurations for specific rooms.

Can I schedule Philips Hue automation routines using cron?▼

Schedule Philips Hue automation routines using cron to execute CLI commands at specific times. This enables repeating tasks like dimming lights at bedtime or brightening a workspace automatically upon waking.

Do I need local network access to the Hue Bridge for terminal lighting control?▼

Local network access to the Hue Bridge is required for terminal lighting control. The CLI relies on a direct local connection to communicate with the bridge and adjust smart home lights.

What's the best way to automate smart home lighting changes without manual switching?▼

Automate smart home lighting changes by running CLI commands to set room states and trigger scenes. This approach replaces manual switching with repeatable, scheduled routines managed directly from the terminal.

Why does my terminal lighting command require correct light and room names?▼

Correct light and room names are required for deterministic execution because the CLI targets specific bulbs and zones. Without exact names matching the Hue Bridge configuration, the lighting control command will fail to apply the desired state.
