[OBSOLETE] Hue (Re)Connect - with scene handling

It was originally called familyroom colors and then when you said the name should be unique I changed the name to colors familyroom just in case it was only looking at the first few characters. The interesting thing is that the first time it detects scenes the smart app sees 15 and then it sees 9 on subsequent checks.

I can’t test further because none of my SmartApps are working anymore due to a bug somewhere at smartthings.

But from what I can see, when you renamed your scene, the Hue App (iOS or Android btw?), it strips some of the suffix I used to detect during the scene discovery.

What you can do, now is to add on 0 at the end of your scene name. They should then appear in the list.

Ouch! No smartapps? Painful.

So I’m just supposed to go into the hue app and rename the scene with a zero at the end? I tried this and opened the smartapp and it did not see the scene. I even renamed it again to new0 to see if it could detect it but no change. I did turn the scene off and on in the hue app prior to to attempting to detect is but it didn’t work. I use the v2 hub and its up to date and the iOS app. I created a new scene with a different name and it got detected so it’s possible to update from the app.

FYI I use some simple lighting scenes for regular use and I use hue wireless dimmers as the switch to control them. I also use some other scenes for color changes to rooms.

Thanks.

So if I create a scene to test and then delete it from the hue app, how do I get the smart app to stop seeing it? It didn’t add it into ST but it went from seeing the 9 scenes to 10 and still sees the one I deleted.

Thanks!

You can’t this is a hue api limitation.

If you rename a scene be sure to add on 0 at the end to make it listed. I will fix that later (I still have no access to my smartapps due to a smartthings bug).

Ok, thanks for the help and good luck with the smart apps issue. I hope we all don’t get hit by that. I appreciate the effort on the app and I look forward to getting things fine tuned and using it more.

Thanks again!

P.S. I just realized above that you said to use “on 0” at the end of the scene after updating it… I was just using “0” in my test. That’s what I get for trying this before coffee.

is there any limitation with regards to polling times for the connected devices? I can see I can do manual refreshes fairly quickly

I would like to get more frequent updates of the states of a bulb - would that be possible - maybe you could even suggest the code I would need to change - so I can test what I intend to do?

cheers

Polling is already done every 5 min. But somehow the hue bridge sometimes take several seconds to reflect the current state of bulbs. Also I notice that sometime, the scheduled job in smartthing responsible for refreshing the hue state is no longer executed.

here the related code:

def manualRefresh() {
    unschedule()
    unsubscribe()
    doDeviceSync()
    runEvery5Minutes("doDeviceSync")
}

def timedRefresh() {
    // when triggering a scene the light light state take several
    // seconds to change it's state. So we need to delay this.
    runIn(10, manualRefresh)
}

There is job running every 5 minutes to get the state of the bulbs.

timedRefresh is triggered when you trigger a scene from smartthings to refresh the state of the bulbs with a delay.

Btw, each time you will change the state of the bulbs, it will also refresh the states.

thats exactly what I am not seeing if I use a dimmer switch connected to HUE, so if I change the state it takes quite a while to show up - hence I would like to change the polling interval to overcome this issue

would this work? to poll every 15 seconds?

def manualRefresh() {
    unschedule()
    unsubscribe()
    doDeviceSync()
    runIn(15, "doDeviceSync")
}

not a coder so guessing here :slightly_smiling:

basically what I want to try to do is poll the current state and if it changed, change a virtual switch to set a condition …

I have tried and tried but couldnt get it to work - basically I am looking for a function that does the manualRefresh every 10 or 15 seconds - then I would be able to monitor the state of the bulb and assign the virtual switch states to the output and hopefully take almost full use of the HUE dimmer switch connected to the HUE bridge …

Tried getting this working tonight. I am not getting all of my scenes loaded. I even did a ‘factory reset’ on my Hue hub. I had a ton of mess on the hub from my initial playing around with it, so figured starting from scratch on it was not a major loss. I had about 20 scenes, and before the reset I was only getting 4 to load. I added a scene, it loaded, I added another it did not. Thought about spelling/whitespace, bulb mix/etc, nothing seemed to help

Have 10 Lux bulbs and 3 standard bulbs.

I have 4 currently active scenes. I am only getting 2 of the 4 to load, the hue bridge says 10-12. I note that the bridge is squawking about the scene “name”:"Test Scene 1 on however I am new to this system, so still drinking from the firehose.

Any hints on what to do/look at?

Thank you for all your effort on this!

@r4nd0m you are never going to achieve an update cycle of 10-15 seconds working for you, it will cripple the hub and make it extremely unreliable.
Polling is not the way this should be done
The only way would be to have the philips hub send its update when something changes, but alas the philips API does not support this.
So this leaves one other possibility which is to attach the control device I.e. The dimmer directly to ST. I believe that the philips dimmer can be attached to ST and there is a community device type for it, but I was aware some people had issues with it. Im not sure if this has been fixed yet?

Also getting a “failed to save page: itemDiscovery” message when trying to use this. I’m also using the new light strip, tried the workaround @infofiend mentioned with no luck. Anyone figure it out?

Well I have tried everything possible and look for an option to overcome the disconnect issues with directly connecting the dimmer to ST - seems like there is no solution at all at this moment whichever route I go …

Funny you say it will degrade the hubs functionality as I see plenty of double or triple messages on my hub hence I would think it should be possible - depending on how much things are a tally connected … to be fair such a poll cannot be that big of a query and neither should be the parsed response message …

the poll is a huge query as every time you refresh a single hue bulb using pollster it refreshes the state of all bulbs connected to the hue hub. just look at your logs to see how much traffick and logging is generated, also time how long the full refresh takes, im my setup this takes about 20 seconds for all my bulbs.

Bit of a novice here as well. Just a couple questions:

  • Do I have to remove the Hue Hub from smart things as well, or just the bulbs?
  • Does it work with the light strips?

Thanks for all your efforts here, I’ve been looking for something like this for a while!

Sean-

My “workaround” was for a much earlier version than the current one - which I believe shouldn’t need it. I don’t know what version you are using, but check to see if you are using the most current.

Another option would be to try [UPDATED as of March 24, 2016] Hue Lights & Groups & Scenes (OH MY!)

This works very well for me (as a UK user) and allows me to, at last, link my Amazon Echo to my Hue scenes using IFTTT!

Thanks for all the hard work!

I have now modified the pollster.smartapp and hardcoded the interval to less than a minute simply by changing the cron input line and removing the input for the interval - so you only get to chose the bulbs to refresh and in my tests so far this is working just fine …

@r4nd0m just because you can doesn’t mean you should. how long have you been running this for? for example an overpolling experience i had recently, after enabling the polling my hub stopped working after a day or so zwave network died a death even though i was not polling the zwave network. this was proved after much difficulty to be attributable to the polling cycle i had.

if its working for you then good, but i caution that if it takes a few days for your hub to stop working you wouldn’t know necessarily that the issue is caused by your excessive polling.
