node-red-contrib-huebridge v0.0.7
node-red-contrib-huebridge
A Philips Hue Bridge emulator to control any kind of lights (or other things for that matter).
This is a work in progress!
Linux: Run http server on port 80 as non-root user
Ref.: stackoverflow
sudo apt install libcap2-bin
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep `readlink -f \`which node\``Note 1: The Philips Hue app seems only to be able to connect to port 80.
Note 2: The above setcap command does not survive a reboot.
Installation
To install - change to your Node-RED user directory.
cd ~/.node-red
npm install node-red-contrib-huebridgeNodes in this package
On/Off Light
...
Dimmable Light

Color Light
...
Extended Color Light
Support colormode 'hs' (hue, saturation), 'xy' (CIE 1931 Chromacity) and 'ct' (color temperature).
Color Temperature Light
...
Link Button
Enables pairing.
topic can be anything (i.e. the node does not use it).
payload can be anything (i.e. the node does not use it).

Sensors
ZGP Switch (Hue Tap)
Emulate a Hue Tap with it's four buttons.
topic can be anything (i.e. the node does not use it).
payload must be a number.
Valid payload numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4.
ZLL Switch (Hue Wireless Dimmer Switch)
Not implemented.
ZLL Presence (Hue Motion Sensor)
Not implemented.
ZLL Temperature
Not implemented.
ZLL Lightlevel
Not implemented.
CLIP Switch
Not implemented as a node.
CLIP OpenClose
Not implemented as a node.
CLIP Presence
Not implemented as a node.
CLIP Temperature
Not implemented as a node.
CLIP Humidity
Not implemented as a node.
CLIP Lightlevel
Not implemented as a node.
CLIP Generic Flag Sensor
Not implemented as a node.
Notes
The timezone can be set using the Hue App but these nodes will always use the timezone setup on the server running Node-RED.
HomeKit interface is not implemented.
None of the remote access features will work.
The transfom node will handle transitions but it might not work very well. It does a transition calculation once every 100ms and that might simply be too much depending on your setup.
Examples
- Red at 100% brightness (using hue, saturation - colormode 'hs')
topic = setstate
payload (JSON) = {"transitiontime":4,"on":true,"bri":254,"colormode":"hs","hue":0,"sat":254}- Green at 100% brightness (using hue, saturation - colormode 'hs')
topic = setstate
payload (JSON) = {"transitiontime":4,"on":true,"bri":254,"colormode":"hs","hue":21845,"sat":254}- Blue at 100% brightness (using hue, saturation - colormode 'hs')
topic = setstate
payload (JSON) = {"transitiontime":4,"on":true,"bri":254,"colormode":"hs","hue":43690,"sat":254}- White at 100% brightness (using hue, saturation - colormode 'hs')
topic = setstate
payload (JSON) = {"transitiontime":4,"on":true,"bri":254,"colormode":"hs","hue":0,"sat":0}- Off
topic = setstate
payload (JSON) = {"on":false,"bri":0}- On at 100% brightness
topic = setstate
payload (JSON) = {"on":true,"bri":254}Copyright and license
