SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually adjusting Philips Hue lights through the official app can be slow and inconvenient, especially for users who prefer command-line interfaces or want to integrate lighting control into automated workflows. This Skill eliminates that friction by enabling direct CLI-based control of Hue devices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct CLI Control: Manage individual Hue lights, entire rooms, and pre-configured scenes without opening the official Hue app.
  • Flexible Lighting Adjustments: Modify brightness, color temperature, and RGB color for any compatible Hue light or room.
  • Quick Scene Activation: Instantly activate pre-set scenes like "Relax" or "Concentrate" for specific rooms to match your activity. For example, you can set your office lights to bright cool white for focused work, or dim your bedroom lights to a warm temperature for bedtime with simple commands.

Quick Start

Use the openhue skill to turn on your living room lights to 30% brightness with a warm color temperature.
