This package implements the Philips Hue API V2 EventSource as a node-red node.
See https://developers.meethue.com/develop/hue-api-v2/core-concepts/#events for more information about the Hue API V2 and the /eventstream endpoint
Please note that the Philips Hue API V2 is still in early access. Please make sure your bridge firmware is at least version 1948086000. If you have any issue, you can try generating a new token. If you still encounted issues, feel free to open an issue in this repository.
There is only one flow node in this package: philipshue-events.
This node needs to have philipshue-events-config configured for your bridge. You can set the address and hue-application-key manually or use the auto-discovery/link-button.
The node will connect to the EventSource endpoint and output every events as a message.
The node will output event as JSON. Here is an example of msg.payload:
{
"creationtime": "2021-10-18T17:04:55Z",
"data": [
{
"id": "e706416a-8c92-46ef-8589-3453f3235b13",
"on": { "on": true },
"owner": {
"rid": "3f4ac4e9-d67a-4dbd-8a16-5ea7e373f281",
"rtype": "device"
},
"type": "light"
}
],
"id": "9de116fc-5fd2-4b74-8414-0f30cb2cbe04",
"type": "update"
}You can then use built-in node-RED switch node to route the event based on msg.payload.type or msg.payload.data[0].type.
