Hue Lightstrip rotaring lights option?

[aurfalien]

Hi,

I’ve used other apps to rotate the color of my Hue Lightstrip and was curious of there was a way to do it via SamrtThings?

For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog.

This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…
