Description
✭Requires Tasker or Locale to function✭
Please note: While this app still works with your Philips Hue bridge, and should keep doing so for the foreseeable future, it is no longer updated and maintained. Thanks for all the support over the years!
Ever wanted to control your Philips Hue Lights without reaching for a remote? Have the lights turn on automatically as soon as you enter your home? Or have the lights blink when you receive a new notification? Well now you can do all of this with and much more with AutoHue!
AutoHue let’s you program your Hue & LIFX Light Bulbs to react to anything that Tasker supports!
Autohue supports many actions, including:
💡 Power 💡 Color 💡 Brightness 💡 Alerts (blink) 💡 Color Loop 💡 Custom JSON
Note for Hue users: for Hue lights the app only works on your local (WIFI) network, this is currently the case due to a restriction in the Hue API.
In addition to sending commands you can also retrieve the state of the light bulbs or hue bridge. Use this to create even more powerful actions!
Next to Hue and LIFX this plugin should support any light bulb that is connected to a Philips Hue bridge (e.g. Osram & Ikea Trådfri). Feel free to contact me if you run into issues with these bulbs, as they are currently not officially supported.
Recent changes: - Improvements to how variables are shared with Tasker. Tasker will now know about the variables that a task exposes and thus they will be listed within the same action's "variable select" popup. - Minor bugfixes

When will Lifx brightness control be added? Similar to custom JSON? Thanks
★★★★★
Great Plugin. Works really well with all my original LIFX's. Doesn't work with my Color-1000 though for some reason.
★★★★★
So far I am very pleased with this. Combined with tasker, it gives you VERY strong control over your lights.
★★★★★
So good! I just made the mimicking Sunset routine I've always wanted to turn off the lights (5) in my room through several different color and brightness changes over time. Notes though: 1) use Task - wait to add wait commands between light changes. 2) it works about 99% with ANY non-Hue Zigbee bulbs also. The 1‰ is that "transition time" doesn't work with them. You can get around this by adding actions that change the lights overtime though.
★★☆☆☆
I cannot get this app to work. In I created a task with a command for Autohue, and it would not work. I have not gotten it to work even once. When I test it in the config scene, it works fine. I have heard that this is a battery optimization issue. However, when I go to Settings - battery - optimization, there is no Autohue. I have no more recourse.
★★☆☆☆
Hue state always returns "null" for all variables... In the plugin UI, it will show the hue state and all variables perfectly, but when run in a task, the app ALWAYS receives "null" for all variables :/
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work when ran from Tasker. Battery optimization is turned off, and it does work when it is run in the app itself. Used to work for me a while too
