Lightjams and Philips Hue

[Joshua Eason]

Hey Mathieu,

Recently, I got my hands on the Philips Hue Starter Kit and now I'm thinking of how I can control them with Lightjams. Have you come across this yet or have any ideas?

Thanks as always!

Hi Joshua,

For the moment, I think you'd need to use a Hue server like this one - https://github.com/kame31/HueServer - and send OSC commands to it. I'll certainly see how it can be integrated in Lightjams in the future. 

However back in December there was some news about Philips dropping support for 3rd party fixtures - http://www.engadget.com/2015/12/14/philips-hue-drops-3rd-party-bulbs/. After too much bad press, Philips decided to back off but it's a bit worrying for the future of Hue.

I'll check it out. Thanks again!
