v0.1.2

Huebert is a web and desktop client for Philips Hue lighting and home automation, built in Electron and React. It was born out of pure laziness, as are all my programming endeavors, and it is my hope that it allows you to be just as lazy as I am.

Features

• Toggle-able dark mode!
• Selectable layout: choose between List and Card views to browse and control your lights and groups
• Control groups and their child lights from the same page

• Various small bugs

v0.1.1

Huebert is a desktop client for Philips Hue lighting and home automation, built in Electron and React. It was born out of pure laziness, as are all my programming endeavors, and it is my hope that it allows you to be just as lazy as I am.

This is the first of hopefully many releases. For the time being, only Windows binaries are provided -- though I plan to package for Linux and macOS in the very near future. Instructions to build from source can be found in README.md.

Features

• View and control your lights, groups, and zones
  • Toggle, dim, and adjust color
  • Apply specific colors by hex or rgb value, or choose from a palette of common colors
  • Adjust multiple lights simultaneously
  • Apply scenes to light groups
• Automatic sync with Hue Bridge
  • UI components reflect the true state of your lights, not the local state
  • Sync occurs every time you make an adjustment, and every 10 seconds while the app is in the foreground, so changes made from other apps and devices appear
• Quick setup with one-click connect to your Hue Bridge

Bugs

• Fixed #1, Hue White bulbs are now supported and the colorpicker is hidden while selected @scruffles
• Fixed a bug where color temperature of Hue White Ambiance bulbs was not being adjusted
