Hue light change

[Steven_Wood]

Is there a app that would change the colour of my hue lights

@Steven_Wood you can change the colour manually in the ST app?

Can you supply more details? Do you want to change it manually or have it change based on some other action like motion, contact sensor, etc…?

[OBSOLETE] Garden Hue: New smartapp to change hue color on a cycle or random, sunset to sunrise

Here is version 3.0 of my new smartapp: Garden Hue. I could not find a smartapp that would change the color every so often sunset to sunrise… So far I have it cycle through about 16 colors, only turns on sunset to sunrise (with an optional offset) and will change color only between these times, OR if you manually turn one or more of the hue lights controlled on. I have set cycle times of 10 , 15, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours. so I can use the built in functions of runeveryxxminutes etc. so as not to overload the backend running on fixed times. (check the docs these randomize the time). I also have a disable/enable option. There is is also an option for a random one of the 16 colors instead of cycling through them. I am using the scheduling/cron feature to do this and also schedule …

You can try this.

The easiest way is probably to use the Phillips hue IFTTT channel. You can trigger it from echo or from SmartThings turning on a virtual switch.

It has both color loop and random color options:

You would need one recipe for each bulb, but you can have the same trigger fire multiple recipes.
