SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the hassle of using app-only controls by letting you manage Philips Hue lights, rooms, and scenes directly from your terminal.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Light and brightness control: Turn lights on or off and set brightness, color temperature, or color (including RGB) for specific bulbs.
  • Room and zone management: Apply commands to all lights within a named room or zone for quick whole-space changes.
  • Scene activation: Trigger predefined Hue scenes (optionally scoped to rooms) for consistent “movie mode” or “relax” setups.
  • Use case: Create a bedtime routine that dims the Bedroom room to a warm, low-brightness setting and turns lights back on for work mode in the Office.

Quick Start

Pair your Hue Bridge on the same local network, then tell Titan to turn on the Bedroom lights at 20% brightness for a warm 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?▼

Philips Hue lights can be controlled from a terminal by executing deterministic light control commands through the OpenHue CLI. This enables switching lights, setting brightness and color temperature, and activating scenes for specific rooms directly from your local command line.

Can I activate predefined Hue scenes for specific rooms via command line?▼

Activating predefined Hue scenes for specific rooms via command line is fully supported. You can trigger consistent setups like movie mode or relax scenes scoped to named rooms and zones directly through terminal-based commands.

Do I need a local Hue Bridge to manage home lighting scenes from a terminal?▼

A local Hue Bridge is required to manage home lighting scenes from a terminal. The bridge must be reachable on the same local network, and the OpenHue CLI must be installed to execute the lighting control commands.

Can I set RGB color and brightness for specific bulbs using terminal commands?▼

Setting RGB color, color temperature, and brightness for specific bulbs is supported using terminal commands. You can apply these settings to individual lights or manage all lights within a named room or zone for quick whole-space changes.

What are the limitations of terminal-based IoT automation for Philips Hue?▼

Limitations of terminal-based IoT automation for Philips Hue include requiring the OpenHue CLI installed and the Hue Bridge reachable on the same local network. It does not support remote cloud control or app-exclusive features outside local network scope.
