      Hi there all !

      The last few days I worked on a way to control Philips Hue lights using Isadora for an upcoming performance. I got the base functionality working, and I thought let's share the code and perhaps you guys and girls can give me some advice / feedback on the actor :)

      How does it work ?

      1. Get some Philips Hue Color bulbs (I never tested it with strips / or White bulbs etc.. So let me know or it works !)
      2. Get the IP of your Hue Bridge (2.0, Apple Homekit version) and write it down
      3. Go to <ip>/debug/clip.html
      4. Follow the instructions at https://www.developers.meethue...
      5. Write down your username key, we need that !
      6. Open Isadora if you haven't already. In this file we find 4 actors. A Master that controls the communication of the Hue, a Brightness actor, a simple switch on/off actor and a Color actor.
      7. Fill in the IP and the username.
      8. Find out wich lights are active. What is the Unique ID ? (int) (<ip>/debug/clip.html. Command : /api/<username>/lights, GET)
      9. Try to turn the lights on/off. To send the information to the bridge trigger the input 'trigger' on one of the actors. 

      Got ya's

      • I'm still working on the feedback from the bridge. It is quite difficult to get a grasp on it .. Because of this I can't close the connection of the Client. This is causing some delay. Currently this is set to 3 seconds.
      • The plugin is currently broadcasting the data so that you don't have to connect them. This is something that I normally do. Don't want this behavoir ? Just turn the broadcasting input to off and you will never hear from it again ;)
      • The Color correction is not 100% yet. You will see a slight difference in the color in Izzy / the color that the bulb gives.

      Bugs / issues / feature request / etc let me know !

         Great! Thanks for sharing. How will you use this in a performance is it to change color of domestic lights in a theatrical set or have you hacked a more technical solution? 

        best wishes

          Hi there Bonemap,

          I'm currently working on a installation where we are translating music for deaf people to other senses. So think about vibration, light, smell, etc. But I can see this working for theatre sets as well ! Saturday we have our first playsession, will collect photo's / etc and create a new thread with more detail :)

            @juriaan This set of actors stills seems to work - and it's great.  I'm having a problem with the Master resetting the IP address when I change scenes.  Do you have any advice.  I know the actor set is old though and it might be an Isadora version issue.  Thanks - Paul

                Hi there Paul!
                Good to hear that it still works. You can use a so-called Background scene for that and use a workflow using Broadcasters and Listeners.

                See our help article for more information about the subject;

                Let me know how it goes :)

                  @juriaan I have a quick question, I am thinking about use Hue bulbs for a large light installation, - in your experience how sync are they - I know there is a soft limit of 40 bulbs per gateway for good operation, but inside this limit do you think I can run animations across bulbs and have them react within 40ms together?

                     Did you ever end up doing this? The mental image of it seems beautiful.
