AtmoHue - BETA - Philips Hue support for AtmoLight & AtmoWin (1 Viewer)

[Rick164]

Thanks, re-uploaded version which will list correct version number.
I will just blame it on the beer

It's available now. The issue seems also be fixed Thank you(you forgot to change the version number in 0.52)

The flickering I mentioned earlier is also gone now.

Sure - this was because you had each device multible times in teh list so teh signal was send according to the devices instead of one time which results in an immediate overflow

Hi,

I was away for the weekend but did some testing now(my girlfriend used mediaportal this weekend) but we've not encountered any problems.

Two features I was thinking about(not sure if you will like them):

- Add a menu to the tray icon with an option to close. Now you have to open the whole app to shut it down
- Add an option to atmolight to shutdown the lights on standby. I think this is nice since I have to click an extra button now when I put mediaportal in standby now.

One thing I noticed, my mediaportal error log shows many of the following errors sometimes:

[2014-11-09 23:07:29,272] [Error  ] [82       ] [ERROR] - AtmoLight: Hue - Error during average color calculations
[2014-11-09 23:07:29,274] [Error  ] [82       ] [ERROR] - AtmoLight: Hue - Poging door nul te delen.

Incase I will find any bugs or have more feedback I will give another comment

Should be easy to implement into AtmoLight, i will have a look, thanks for the suggestion .

Edit:
Well it is easy to implement into AtmoLight, however AtmoWin for example is not happy with this. Its not accepting me changing effect or color at this point anymore, probably because itself has already suspended. So better to be handled within the target software, like @Rick164 has already done for AtmoHue (see below post)

 

[Rick164]

Good ideas , added those in the new release.

Since we can't get the current scene from the Hue bridge as far as I know the turn lights off of on suspend is our best bet as otherwise they will display the last state, we could also handle it from AtmoLight but want to know how well it works this way first.

Concerning the divide by zero error, know where that is coming from and will fix that in the next AtmoLight release

Changelog

10-11-2014 - AtmoHue 0.0.55

- Added right click menu to tray icon for open/exit commands
- While in tray icon it's no longer listed in alt tab switcher menu
- When suspending the machine running AtmoHue it will turn off the lights associated with it, should work in most cases so long as your machine doesn't suspend too fast (before it can send the command).

The lights off on standby doesn't work for me. I've included my settings.xml

I couldn't get it to work. I'm putting my htpc in standby by using the remote off button. Do you need any more information to find out where's the problem?

 

[Rick164]

Thanks
Uploaded new version (0.0.56), it now is an option that you can enable or disable as well and let me know if it works

 

[killer8]

Did some testing with .56 and power off on standby works great now. The only thing is it doesn't turn on anymore after I resume the htpc from standby, I have to turn it on manually now.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

 

[Rick164]

That's odd as during suspend it only sets the color to black and on resume the first command is TurnOn() which we already use in other places, do you have to manually turn them on via the Philips Hue app or AtmoLight?

Just attached a new beta version of AtmoLight (1.13.106.0) which has a few changes to connection handling for Hue as well, can give that a try

I just installed the newest atmolight but it doesn't make a difference, after standby there is no light anymore and I've to enable it manually through the philips or logitech harmony app.
