SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Philips Hue 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 natural language requests. ## 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 & Scene Management: Control entire rooms at once and activate predefined Hue scenes like Relax or Concentrate. - Use Case: Say "set the bedroom to bedtime mode" and the Skill runs the OpenHue command to dim the bedroom to 20% brightness with a warm color temperature. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn on the living room lights at 50 percent brightness using openhue.

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 the command line?▼

Use the OpenHue CLI to control Hue lights from the terminal. Commands like "openhue set light \"Bedroom Lamp\" --on --brightness 50" turn lights on and adjust brightness, while "openhue get light" lists all available lights.

How to set a Philips Hue scene using openhue?▼

Run "openhue set scene" with the scene name and target room, for example "openhue set scene \"Relax\" --room \"Bedroom\". You can list all 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 control 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 succeed.

Can I set colors on any Hue bulb with openhue?▼

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