Support for Philips Hue System (2 Viewers)

[Rick164]

Created an early test version where the following is already implemented:

- Hue bridge locator
- Set red/green/blue to all Hue lights.

Only thing that I can't find in the documentation is that you might need to setup an personalappname/api key in the Hue bridge software itself so would need someone with the Hue to look into this as well.
If you guys could test if the following works:

- Does it report an bridge IP in the output window when you click the "Locate Hue bridge" button?
- Does it set the colors correctly?

Once this part works correctly it's just a matter of installing the new version of Atmowin next to it and setting up the correct folder, for testing I'll be using the filestream solution to check performance.
Afterwards that will change to an HTTP solution but this makes it easier to test

I can understand why Ambilight is needed but why do anyone need this?

 

[Rick164]

Well in medium/large rooms this would be nice as you get the whole movie ambience around you

 

[Edalex]

It could be cool if all you lights in room could be controlled by TV

Hey Rick

Nice work.. Yes it reports the IP, when you click "Locate Hue Bridge". It reports correct colors, except for the blue being a little more purple.
I can control all 3 lights at the same time. but not independently... THNX

 

[Rick164]

Great!
Will start working on cleaning up some code and integrating it with Atmowin
After that there are gonna be some white balance controls to do color corrections, also some controls to select which Hue Lights you want to use but it reports them as IDs (1-99) so my guess is that they will match that in the Hue Bridge software.

Fantastic start ... It sounds about right, with the ID of the bulbs..

Below are the new versions of Atmowin and Atmo Hue, instructions on how to use them:

- In Atmowin setup window tick the Combined zone option:

- Press OK and restart Atmowin to be sure and check if it's still checked, had some issues with it not registering but could be due to Windows 8.1
- Select Device "Dummy" or "miniDMX"(SEDU), more devices are planned but need to know what everyone is mostly using.
- Could use the effect "Live" for testing but should work with Mediaportal already.
- Start Atmo Hue and set the Atmowin folder path and tweak the scan interval.
- Set which Hue lights you want enabled (all or #)
- It should look similar to this once completed:

- Press "Locate Hue Bridge" or input your Hue Bridge IP manually
- Press "Start monitoring Atmowin"

It will now output all relevant information including errors to the output log window and send the color information to the Hue Bridge, if I didn't screw up it should work

Place the new AtmowinA.exe in your Atmowin folder but make an backup of the old file before you overwrite as there might be some bugs.
