SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing Philips Hue lighting from the terminal or an AI agent normally requires manual app interaction or custom API scripting against the Hue Bridge. This Skill lets you turn lights on and off, adjust brightness, color, and temperature, and activate scenes using simple OpenHue CLI commands. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Light Control: Turn individual bulbs on or off and set brightness (0-100), color temperature (153-500 mirek), and colors by name or hex code. - Room & Scene Management: Control entire rooms at once and activate saved Hue scenes like Relax or Concentrate per room. - Use Case: Ask your agent to set a bedtime preset, and it runs commands to dim the bedroom to 20% brightness with a warm temperature, then turns off the office and living room lights. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to dim the living room lights to 30 percent brightness using openhue.

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

How do I install the OpenHue CLI on macOS or Linux?▼

Why does setting a color on my Hue light not work?▼

Color commands only work on color-capable Hue bulbs, not white-only models. Also verify the exact light name with openhue get light, since names are case-sensitive.

Can I schedule Hue lighting changes with OpenHue?▼

Yes, OpenHue commands work well in cron jobs for scheduled lighting. For example, you can dim lights at bedtime or brighten them at wake time by scheduling the corresponding set commands.
