A comprehensive Node-RED node collection for controlling Philips Hue bridges, lights, groups, sensors, and scenes.
HueMagic is a Node-RED node package that provides comprehensive control over Philips Hue smart lighting systems. It allows users to automate lights, groups, scenes, and sensors through a visual programming interface, enabling complex home automation workflows. The package supports the latest CLIP/v2 API of the Philips Hue Bridge and offers real-time updates and extensive customization options.
Node-RED users and developers looking to integrate Philips Hue lighting automation into their IoT and home automation projects. It's ideal for those who want to create advanced lighting scenarios, sensor-based triggers, and custom animations without relying on the official Hue app.
Developers choose HueMagic for its depth of features, ease of use within Node-RED, and support for the latest Hue Bridge API. It offers more control and flexibility than basic Hue integrations, including custom animations, additive commands, and universal mode for dynamic device management.
Philips Hue node to control bridges, lights, groups, motion sensors, temperature sensors and Lux sensors using Node-RED.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses the latest CLIP/v2 API with server-sent events for real-time updates, ensuring compatibility with modern Hue Bridge features and reducing polling overhead.
Supports lights, groups, scenes, sensors, and rules with additive commands and universal mode, allowing fine-grained automation without discarding previous states.
Includes pre-built animations and custom animation creation via step-based arrays, enabling complex lighting effects directly within Node-RED workflows.
Automatically discovers Hue bridges and devices, with examples and documentation in English and German, simplifying initial configuration.
Requires Node.js 14+, Node-RED v2.1+, and specific Hue Bridge firmware, which can cause migration headaches, as seen in v4's mandatory node reconfiguration.
Exclusively designed for Node-RED, making it useless for projects using other automation platforms or requiring standalone scripts without visual programming.
Focused solely on Philips Hue; it cannot control other smart lighting brands or devices, restricting use in mixed smart home environments.
