Philips HUE Lamps state

Yes you can control by name by adding these 2 functions to your user.hue:

Code:

function makeLightsTable()   local lights = getHueLights()   if lights then     lights = json.pdecode(lights)     LightsTable = {}     for _, foundlights in pairs(lights) do       LightsTable[foundlights.name] = tonumber(_)     end     storage.set("hue:lights", LightsTable)   end   return LightsTable end function makeGroupsTable()   local groups = getHueGroups()   if groups then     groups = json.pdecode(groups)     GroupsTable = {}     for _, foundgroups in pairs(groups) do       GroupsTable[foundgroups.name] = tonumber(_)     end     storage.set("hue:groups", GroupsTable)   end   return GroupsTable end

Then add this as a resident script at 0 seconds:

Code:

--Create lights and groups table (resident at 0) require('user.hue') makeLightsTable() makeGroupsTable() os.sleep(600)

From now on you can get the lamp ID by name using this:

Code:

lamp_id = storage.get("hue:lights")["Plafondlamp Woonkamer"] or 0 body_msg = '{"on":false}' sendToLight(lamp_id,body_msg) -- or group_id = storage.get("hue:groups")["Woonkamer"] or 0 body_msg = '{"on":true}' sendToGroup(group_id,body_msg)

PS: You are correct, there once was a mistake in a older user.hue lib with the sendToGroup function, it was already corrected in my latest version(s)

Sorry, I don't understand... I can already control on/off and 0-100% brightness.... How I could use that system?  What I need is to set and feedback of RGB COLOURS....
