Operate Philips Hue with Shelly

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I have shelly's everywhere in the house, but now I bought a Philips Hue for one location. I want to operate the light with the Shelly 1, using detached mode. I can talk to the Hue lights trough the hue bridge, but I have to send data in a PUT command: http://<bridge_local_ip>/api/<bridge_username>/lights/11/state -> {"on":true}. As far as I found out, Shelly doesn't offer this.

    I am a bit lost how to solve this. I thought about:

    - making an url that contains javascript to send the put command (but obviously shelly doesn't execute the script)

    - asking developers to support this (seems a bit slow)

    - adjusting the firmware myself (too complicated and no more updates)

    - trying with MQTT (but I need a device for this and seems quite complicated)

    - flashing the shelly with custom firmware (which firmware to choose?)

    Where would you start? Any other plans?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    if you install a higher-level system such as IOBroker, all options are open to you.

    I tend not to believe that something like this will be implemented in the firmware.

    Zitat

    I have shelly's everywhere in the house, ...

    it's usually just a matter of time, by a growing number of sensors, actuators and complexity, that a higher level system becomes the best option (eg. IOBroker, openHab, Home Assistant, ...). In the meantime, for a Shelly 1 I would evaluate Tasmota firmware. It has a powerful macro "language" and can send http commands.

    I don't have a solution but have to say, your question is rather interesting! So far I've never thought about accessing the Hue bridge directly and always thought a system like Home Assistant is the only option.

    I'm not entirely sure: Tasmota does have Hue emulation, but I don't think it's fully supported and cannot perform your feature.

    I hope that the developers will reconsider the option of switching hue bulbs on and off.

    I use home assistant but also like to use my normal wall switches to turn on my mood lights (hue).

    Now i use it to turn on the hue lights the normal way by powering on and off.
