Hello,

i found a few errors in the descriptions:

-group.Action = Action property only filled when getting a single group
-group.Lights = Lights property only filled when getting a single group
etc.

They are misleading, i get the data with the client.GetLightsAsync() method, but jus wasted 2 hours of work cause of it...

When calling above function an error is returned. Looking at the JSON with Fiddler:

The above JSON:

{"Id":"F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw","name":"Test","lights":["3","4","6","9"],"owner":"2df02300395f826f244b97502a92ba5f","appdata":{"version":1,"data":""},"picture":"","recycle":true,"locked":false,"version":2,"lastupdated":"2015-12-29T23:29:47","transitiontime":0}

Result:

[{"error":{"type":6,"address":"/scenes/F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw/Id","description":"parameter, Id, not available"}},{"error":{"type":8,"address":"/scenes/F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw/owner","description":"parameter, owner, is not modifiable"}},{"error":{"type":8,"address":"/scenes/F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw/recycle","description":"parameter, recycle, is not modifiable"}},{"error":{"type":8,"address":"/scenes/F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw/locked","description":"parameter, locked, is not modifiable"}},{"error":{"type":6,"address":"/scenes/F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw/version","description":"parameter, version, not available"}},{"error":{"type":6,"address":"/scenes/F0b-WGcJnehh0Xw/lastupdated","description":"parameter, lastupdated, not available"}}]

Turns out Id, Owner, Recycle, Locked, Version, LastUpdated should be ignored.

Hi,

I've just started a project with getting the HueApi directly form NuGet and with just hitting run, I'm getting the following exception after about 15 seconds:
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols' from assembly 'System.Net.Primitives, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

It looks like all the required packages have also been downloaded. Any clue?

[edit]
Seems that the library works on a Windows 7 machine, but not on my Windows 8.1 machine. Any ideas? Is there a reason the choice has been made for System.Net.Http?

Cheers

The data array is giant and makes it difficult to work on any other code contained in this file. We can split the array out into another file and just partial the class.

Hello, first off thank you for the continued great work! We'd appreciate if you could sign the Nuget distribution so that it makes keeping up to date with the updates much simpler. Currently, we have to download the source code and do our own builds with signing enabled.

Distributing signed code via Nuget is the best practice. We're aware it could possible cause issues with some projects - but again the best practice is for those projects to download the source code, rather than the other way around.

Thanks again for the great work!!!

HI,

i noticed that when parsing the group info from the bridge the colormode field is not present. section 2.1.3 in http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/groups-api shows an example.

In "2.3.2. Response" at the same page the table mentions:

| action | object | The light state of one of the lamps in the group.|

so ... should/can the field "LightCommand Action" in the Groups.cs be replaced by "State Action"?

kind regards
stefan

SendCommandRawAsync tries to be efficient when using a List of lights, by creating a temporary group and calling it with SendGroupCommandAsync.

However, if the Bridge contains existing groups, this 'temp group creation' logic will delete/reconfigure the existing group. I believe this is because bulbs cannot be shared by groups, so if an existing group's lights are sent to SendCommandAsync, SendCommandRawAsync will break that group/rename it.

Since an existing method exists to change group lights (SendGroupCommandAsync), I think this 'else' condition in SendCommandRawAsync should simply be removed. The efficiency of creating a temporary group is offset by the inefficiency of a) having to wait 2 seconds for the bulbs to sync, and b) breaking existing bridge group configuration.

If you have a schedule which will only occur on certain days the localtime and time string value will be formatted as stated in: http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/datatypes-and-time-patterns#16_time_patterns

This will not serialize to a DateTime or DateTime? value.
Capturing all possible datetime patterns into a DateTime will not be possible.

So maybe best to create a more complex object that also states what kind of timepattern is used. Like n occurrences on saturday...?

Hi

It's not an issue, more a feature request.

I'm looking for a way to change the name of a light. Is this basically possible?

Thanks & have a nice day
Michael

I'm not 100% sure if this is not supported, but I couldn't find it in the docs.

In the official app users can add a light manually by typing in the serial of the light. The API should then send a POST (api//lights) request with the following JSON:

{“deviceid”:[“SERIAL1”,”SERIAL2"] }

Max. 10 serials, and serial number is always hexadecimal.

http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/lights-api#13_search_for_new_lights

This is my first experience with Q42.HueApi, so apologies if I missed something. I'm running under Visual Studio 2013 Professional, with .NET 4.5.1. I just installed my Hue lights, ran the bridge's update (from the phone app), and then I got the NuGet package and then tried locating the bridge, registering, initializing, and then I tried to get the lights by calling GetLightsAsync() and received this exception:

System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'Q42.HueApi.BridgeState' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.

I was just trying to figure out how to address the lights, by fetching them all first.

Very similiar to the bug that was fixed in package 2.0.3: the Id is set to null once it gets saved to cache. This was solved for Scene and Light but still occurs for Group.

private StorageHelper<IReadOnlyCollection> GroupsHelper = new StorageHelper<IReadOnlyCollection>(Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalCacheFolder);

IReadOnlyCollection Groups = await hueClient.GetGroupsAsync();
await GroupsHelper .SaveAsync(Groups , "Groups ");

Get from cache:
IReadOnlyCollection CachedGroups = await GroupsHelper.LoadAsync("Groups ");

After this, most properties are still there, but Id is set to null.

modelid string 6..32 1.8 This parameter uniquely identifies the hardware model of the bridge (BSB001, BSB002).

http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/configuration-api

The Light object collection comes back with 0 items when there are new lights. I think the JSON coming back may be different than previous versions.

There is an extension method on the Group.Action status, ToHex() and ToRgb().

I think it is for give back the average color from lights in the group, but currently it return with black (r=0,g=0,b=0, and "000000").

No matter how long I give it for a timeout, it never returns my hub, but the HTTP based one will.

if i create a group with a list of lights, its create a group but without the list of lights.
No lights are set by the created group.

http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/resourcelinks-api

We finally understand why some customers have been reporting issues in recent weeks with the Hue bridge, it seems Philips has rolled out some planned changes early, probably as part of testing. At this point, it seems all new Hue bridges may have the new firmware, so this library would need to update to match.

http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/important-whitelist-changes

Thanks!!

The RuleAction's body is currently returned via the RuleBody class, which only has a single Scene string property. Although the Hue docs show this simple example, the rule action body can contain values other than just a scene. For example, when targeting a light or group, it can contain the values for the light state. Below is a working example taken from my hub where a rule turns on two separate groups of lights in response to a Hue Tap button press:

{
"1": {
"name": "Tap1-TurnLampsAndOverheadsOn",
"owner": "",
"created": "2014-10-22T04:09:19",
"lasttriggered": "2014-10-23T02:55:29",
"timestriggered": 26,
"status": "enabled",
"conditions": [
{
"address": "/sensors/2/state/buttonevent",
"operator": "eq",
"value": "34"
}
],
"actions": [
{
"address": "/groups/1/action",
"method": "PUT",
"body": {
"on": true,
"hue": 15331,
"bri": 240,
"sat": 121
}
},
{
"address": "/groups/3/action",
"method": "PUT",
"body": {
"on": true,
"hue": 15331,
"bri": 240,
"sat": 121
}
}
]
}
}

Please fix the RuleBody class to enable it to expose the full capabilities of the Hue's rules. At minimum, it could expose a simple dictionary. It'd be more elegant to have fully parsed collections of properties, such as light State.

Thanks!

I have been getting this exception just since last week in a long-running lighting program:

mscorlib.dll!System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(uint errorCode, uint numBytes, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped* pOVERLAP) Unknown
[Native to Managed Transition]
kernel32.dll!@BaseThreadInitThunk@12�() Unknown

A first chance exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

There is no native or unsafe code on my end, it's all pure managed code. Also, my code didn't change for several days prior to the issues; it ran for that time almost constantly on and didn't have this issue. I had been running a few-month-old build of HueApi, and just upgraded it this weekend. It still crashes, usually 3-5 times a day now.

Here's my suspicion: I believe the problem started right after installing the latest Windows Updates. So I wonder if either this update is the entire issue, or if this update triggered a latent bug in the HueApi code. I didn't know if the HueApi code is pure safe, managed or not, but if it's all safe, managed code, then it does seem to point entirely at Microsoft.

I'm curious whether anyone else is having this issue.

Just a heads up - after installing the latest NuGet package scenes are no longer cast correctly. Stuff like id is null.

User needs to log into the Hue account and authorize the app to control the lights remotely.

This call does not give back JSON, but gives back HTML from the login page.
Q42.HueApi.RemoteHueClient cl = new RemoteHueClient(null); string asd = await cl.Authorize("ID", "asdasd", "MyPC", "APPID", "ThisPC", "code");

My guess is that the following should work:
`string URL = string.Format("https://api.meethue.com/oauth2/auth?clientid=ID&response_type=code&state=asdasd&appid=APPID&deviceid=MyPC&devicename=ThisPC");

System.Uri startURI = new System.Uri(URL);
System.Uri endURI= new System.Uri(OtherURL);

var webAuthenticationResult = await WebAuthenticationBroker.AuthenticateAsync(WebAuthenticationOptions.None, startURI, endURI);'

The Hue bridge supports SSDP, there should be an API to search for it.

Would be cool to have the new Remote Hue V2 in this API as well: it now gives back the same URLs as the local API, just the URL is different!

Hello,

This could be due to my own ignorance but I'm struggling to use client.RegisterAsync.

I keep getting "Button not pressed", the light doesn't blink on the bridge, but it makes sense that the command is being sent out, doesn't get a response, and returns "Button not pressed".

Am I missing something simple, like a correct wait statement or something?

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Task tasker = thisDoesntWork();

            //thisWorks();

            Console.ReadLine();   
        }

        static async Task thisDoesntWork()
        {

            ILocalHueClient client = new LocalHueClient("192.168.1.3");
            string appKey = await client.RegisterAsync("mypersonalappname", "mydevicename");

            //Crash occures before this line, but I get "Button not pressed" in the debugger, so I think it's executing. 

            Console.WriteLine(appKey);

        }

        public static void thisWorks()
        {

            ILocalHueClient client = new LocalHueClient("192.168.1.3");

            client.Initialize("139f12ce32a30c473368dbe25f6586b");

            var command = new LightCommand();
            command.On = true;

            client.SendCommandAsync(command);

        }
    }

I'm able to use client.Initialize with a appKey I generated from the hue debug api, and I'm able to send basic light commands with your library, so I don't think this is a connection issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Having a problem setting transition time on a scene with API 1.11

LightCommand transition = new LightCommand() { TransitionTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2) };
hueClient.ModifySceneAsync("bcbfb5af0-on-0", "0", transition);

Gives error result:

Q42.HueApi.Models.Groups.ErrorResult
Type: 3
Address: /scenes/bcbfb5af0-on-0/lights/bcbfb5af0-on-0
Description: resource, /scenes/bcbfb5af0-on-0/lights/bcbfb5af0-on-0, not available

Thanks

I think i found a bug in the LightCommandExtension.
Currently, i'm using like this:

  LightCommand lightCommand = new LightCommand();
                lightCommand.Brightness = (byte)Brightness;
                lightCommand.On = true;

                lightCommand.SetColor(new Q42.HueApi.ColorConverters.RGBColor(r, g, b), "LCT001");

                Color myColor = Color.FromArgb(255, (byte)r, (byte)g, (byte)b);

                string hexBefore = myColor.A.ToString("X2") + myColor.R.ToString("X2") + myColor.G.ToString("X2") + myColor.B.ToString("X2");

                var rgbColorFromLight = Q42.HueApi.ColorConverters.OriginalWithModel.LightCommandExtensions.XYToRGB(
                 lightCommand.ColorCoordinates.First(),
                 lightCommand.ColorCoordinates.Last(),
                 "LCT001");

                Save(rgbColorFromLight.ToHex());

I'm givin an input rgb value (0,0,48), set it to a lightCommand, convert it with the extension and save the converted value.

The problem i found:
if i save the (0,0,48) rgb value as a converted hex(#4600FF) and try to iput this again, then its become a different value= (70,0,255) as (#4D00FF)

When GetLightAsync was called, the id of returned light is always "null". The Result GetLightsAsync, shows an valid id.

I tried to add this to a windows forms project in visual studio 2015 using nuget and it would not install correctly.

I was able to install it using a project created in VS2013. Once I opened the Solution in VS2015 it worked fine.

I use the library with Osram Lightify bulbs. They have a different color range and therefore would be necessary to provide the gamut points for red, green and blue from user code.

Hello

First of all , congrats with this api!

I want to control the Philips Hue from a C# application.
I got it up and running, but the lights are responding versy slow. With the Philips app it works fine.

So here's my code:

    HueClient client = new HueClient("192.168.0.100");

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

       client.RegisterAsync("test user", "mypersonalappkey");

        client.Initialize("mypersonalappkey");


    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var command = new LightCommand();
        command.On = true;

        command.TransitionTime = new TimeSpan(0,0,0,0,1);
        command.TurnOn().SetColor("FF00AA");
        //command.TurnOff();



        client.SendCommandAsync(command, new List<string> { "2"});




    }

If I execute the command, it takes sometimes up to 5 seconds for the lights to respond....

So what am I missing?

Thank you for the help!

Since the last merge (removing some of the color conversion code) not all colors are correct anymore. The code was based on the official Obj-C code that Philips uses (http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/color-conversions-rgb-xy) in its official iOS and Android apps.

With the last commit, colors seem fine for the normal bulbs, but colors are off for the LightStrip. Red is now yellow etc. - before this was all correct.

Can this be undone? Or can the possibility be added to add a custom converter if you do not wish to support this into this API (optional)?

Would like to see function which allows you to delete a selected whitelist entry

Hi,

the "waking up" scenario which can be found here: http://labs.meethue.com/ relies on other "sensors" and has a schedule item which is not a SceneCommand nor a LightCommand. It actually looks like this:

{
    "1": {
        "name": "waking-uphuelabs-abc",
        "description": "HueLabs schedule-huelabs-abc",
        "command": {
            "address": "/api/<id>/sensors/9/state",
            "body": {
                "status": 1
            },
            "method": "PUT"
        },
        "localtime": "W003/T09:15:00",
        "time": "W003/T08:15:00",
        "created": "2016-01-02T22:12:38",
        "status": "enabled"
    }
}

i did not look further into it yet, but the rules of the cited example also use actions which are not Scene or LightCommands, so the same issue might pop-up there.

Are there any plans to support these types of commands or would that lead this project to far?

kind regards
stefan

Would it be possible to add an ability to get the current color of a light in RGB since there is an ability to set the color using RGB?

Now that the SDK docs are released and there's finally a picture of what the schedule API looks like, we should add it.

The group.Action has an IsReachable and an IsOn property but they are always false.

hey ,...

sorry for this,...

i have a test application in c# in VS 2013

        HueClient client = new HueClient("192.168.0.6");
        var appKey = await client.RegisterAsync("homidomhue", "homidomserveur");

i have use this nuget command "" Install-Package Q42.HueApi "" so use the 1.10.0.42 version
i have updated the firmware of the bridge

but i have an ""System.Net.HttpRequestexception ""error when i try to register my app in the hue bridge

Exception:Levée : "Le serveur a commis une violation de protocole. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR doit être suivi par LF" (System.Net.WebException)
Une System.Net.WebException a été levée : "Le serveur a commis une violation de protocole. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR doit être suivi par LF"

what i have done wrong,....??

thx for in advance for your help,...

If I change the brightness of a light I get the same color from ToRgb(). I have noticed that the color coordinates do not change, only the brightness property changes so I guess that method does not take account of this member.

Hi

Thanks for your great work.

Are Lux lights already supported?
http://developers.meethue.com/hue-lux-responds-differently-hue-api.html

And if yes, how does the State looks like in the Lights-object?

Michael

If i want all groups with lights list, the list of lights are empty.

Maybe you have forgotten to save the list of lights in the Class "HueClient-Groups" in the function "GetGroupsAsync".

Just added whitelist enumeration to my local copy by extending the models (a little challenge for me having no c# experience at all) will setup a git environment so it can be merged back :-)

Although these are not official Hue-compatible lights, GE Lights might trigger the following error:

Looks like there are issues with deserializing when the effect does not exist on a light!

Didn't had this issue earlier, but my code stopped working (maybe due to firmware update).

{"lights":["3","2","5"],"recycle":true,"name":"My Scene" } /api/username/scenes // works
{"lights":["3","2","5"],"name":"My Scene" } to /api/username/scenes // does not work

With the 1.11 POST request recycle needs to be set. The API description mentions that the bool will be set automatically if not but looks like it doesn't.

Would be nice if the Q42.HueApi would set this to true or false if it is not being set. What do you guys think?

My application is a console application and everything works correctly when running on windows(10), however when I attempt to run the same build with mono I get the following error:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Karuta' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Q42.HueApi.LocalHueClient' from assembly 'Q42.HueApi, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. at com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Karuta.RegisterCommands () <0x40df24c0 + 0x00213> in <filename unknown>:0 at com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Karuta..cctor () <0x40dcd5f0 + 0x002ef> in <filename unknown>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Program.Main () <0x40dccd50 + 0x00033> in <filename unknown>:0 [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Karuta' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Q42.HueApi.LocalHueClient' from assembly 'Q42.HueApi, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. at com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Karuta.RegisterCommands () <0x40df24c0 + 0x00213> in <filename unknown>:0 at com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Karuta..cctor () <0x40dcd5f0 + 0x002ef> in <filename unknown>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at com.LuminousVector.Karuta.Program.Main () <0x40dccd50 + 0x00033> in <filename unknown>:0

The package was installed via NuGet and I've tried reinstalling, rebuilding as release/debug and nothing makes a difference, it doesn't load on mono. First I should ask if this project normally works correctly with mono and if so, is there a solution to this?

My project is .Net 4.6.1, Console Application, Any CPU

You can find my project here if there's anything you want to double check, and the class specifically that uses this project.

I tried to use the Api in a Windows 10 universal app. Worked fine with widows forms but in the Win10 app i got an error from System.Net.Http while i tried to register my bridge.

There is a known bug with System.Net.Http under Win10.
