I was surprised at the lack of color support integrated into the ST base software/apps. I have multiple Aeon minimotes to control various functions of the house, but I couldn’t change bulb colors. After various searches I found two threads with people asking about this, but no solutions. So today I took the Hue mood app and tweaked it to be specific for button remotes. It’s working for any button, both pushed and held, plus it works for any color bulbs. I have it working with my LIFX bulbs!
Anyways, here is the code in case anyone else comes along searching for something like this. This is my first app (and first post), so please feel free to critique the code or provide suggestions, this won’t be my last app and I’m happy to learn from the experience of others!
