Hi all, so I really like the colours that come as pre programmed profiles on the hue and am trying to copy those colour codes exactly so I can activate them via a scene.
I cannot find a place to set the colour code and the colour temperature code in the scene settings however. Any ideas how I can simply add the colour code into a scene?
Scenes can only be programmed via the UI (App) in the current version of SmartThings.
Explore the IDE thoroughly in case it allows field value inputs anywhere, but I doubt it. https://account.SmartThings.com
The new API has hooks into Scenes which may eventually be the best solution.
In the meantime, donāt use Scenes: Use WebCoRE or some other custom SmartApp.
When you add a Hue bulb to a scene, hit next. The bulb is now in a list preset with āOnā. Click the bulb for a device settings menu and click ā+ Add Device Optionā. From here, you can add Brightness, Color and/or Color Temperature.
As far as matching the Hue scene colors, I figured out how to capture them once but I do not recall how. I think I set the bulbs via Hue App Scenes, waited a few minutes, and then captured the color parameters in a WebCore piston that dumped the values into a notification. It was a bit of effort.
I never thought to check IDE, but you should be able to retrieve it there too.
I will try it with webcore. I couldnāt get it to do what I wanted last time I tried though.
Itās the colour code I want to add in scenes. All that I can see is the colour pallet.
