openhue

• You want to control Philips Hue lights with natural language commands like "turn off the bedroom" or "set movie mode."
• You need to adjust brightness, color, or color temperature across individual bulbs, rooms, or zones.
• You want to activate Hue scenes (e.g. "Relax," "Concentrate") through an AI agent.
• You are building a home automation routine that includes timed or conditional lighting changes.

• You have non-Philips-Hue smart devices (other brands are not supported).
• You want to trigger HomeKit scenes or Apple Shortcuts — use Apple's native ecosystem instead.
• You need to control TVs, entertainment systems, thermostats, or HVAC — this skill is lighting-only.
• You need to control smart plugs that are not Hue-branded.

Turn individual lights on or off, set brightness from 0–100, dial in color temperature from warm (450 mirek) to cool (250 mirek), or set colors by name or hex code. Color adjustments require color-capable Hue bulbs.

Control entire rooms or zones at once — turn off the whole bedroom, set the office to full brightness, or dim the living room for a movie — without addressing each bulb individually.

Trigger any saved Hue scene by name within a specific room, such as "Relax" in the Bedroom or "Concentrate" in the Office, giving you one-command ambiance control.

Built-in preset command patterns for common scenarios — bedtime (dim, warm), work mode (bright, cool), and movie mode (very dim) — are ready to use out of the box.

All commands run against your Hue Bridge on the local network with no cloud dependency after initial pairing. A one-time button press on the Bridge completes the setup.

Ask your agent "dim the living room to 30% and set warm white" and it maps the request to the correct openhue set room command, saving you from opening the Hue app.

Build morning or evening routines where your agent automatically sets office lights to work mode at 9 AM and switches to a warm dim in the bedroom at 10 PM.

Let your agent activate the right Hue scene for the moment — "Concentrate" when a focus timer starts, "Relax" when a meeting ends, or "Movie Mode" when your media player begins playback.

During a party or dinner, instruct your agent to set specific rooms to particular colors or brightness levels simultaneously, coordinating the full atmosphere in one request.
