Home Assistant will continue to support the V1 Hue bridge as long as it is technically possible, although with a few limitations: Philips/Signify released a new version of their Hue bridge (square shape) and their legacy/V1 bridge (round shape) is now end of life and no longer supported by them. This is brought to the attention of Signify and it will hopefully be fixed soon. This means that button events are rate-limited to 1 per second. Once you know what the event data looks like, you can use this to create automations.Īt the time of writing, there’s a limitation on the Hue API that each device can only send one event per second. You can test what events come in using the event developer tools in Home Assistant and subscribe to the hue_event. Instead, such devices emit the event hue_event when a button is pressed. Hue remotes such as the Dimmer Switch are stateless devices, meaning that they do not have a on/off state like regular entities in Home Assistant. You can use this service for example if you’d like to start/stop Dynamic Mode. Set the speed (of the dynamic palette) for this scene. Transition duration (in seconds) it takes to bring devices to the state defined in the scene.Įnable (true) or Disable (false) dynamic mode for the scene. Service Data AttributeĮntity ID of the Hue Scene entity you want to activate. To have more control over Hue scenes we’ve implemented a secondary, more advanced service to activate a Hue scene and set some properties at the same time, such as the Dynamic mode and/or brightness. If you individually control multiple lights and/or use Home Assistant scenes, each light command will be sent to each light one by one which doesn’t give a very good user experience, while using a Hue scene sends commands to all lights at once in an optimized way, resulting in a smooth experience. It is advised to use Hue scenes for controlling multiple lights at once for a smooth experience. Creating or editing Hue scenes in Home Assistant is not supported. These Hue scenes are automatically imported in Home Assistant and they’re available as scene entities. Each Zone/Room can have it’s own scenes assigned and there is a large library of precreated scenes for specific moods. You can create, edit and delete Hue scenes from the (official) Hue app on iOS and Android. In the Hue concept you can create (dynamic) scenes for the lights within rooms and zones. If you’d like to use those grouped lights, you can enable them from Settings –> Integrations –> Hue –> entities. Home Assistant creates lights for each Hue zone/room automatically but disables them by default. Although the underlying Hue lights are exposed directly to Home Assistant, it might also be useful to interact with the grouped lights of the Hue ecosystem, for example, to turn all lights in a Hue group on/off at the same time. The Hue concept is based on Rooms and Zones. If it wasn’t discovered automatically, don’t worry!
