MMM-Hue-Lights - new module for your Philips Hue lights!

@michael5r I’m having a issue with the hue lights and MMM-Remote-Control, when viewing it from that app the hue module comes up with an error, it says
Hue API Error: Error: read ECONNRESET
it still changes when you turn on a bulb but would go back to the Error shortly after. When I use VNC to view it as long as I haven’t used mmm remotre control to view it, it works perfectly any ideas? -
@dazza120 That seems odd - let me check it out & see if I can replicate.

Hi,
I installed the module today with my Deconz gateway (not Hue).
Everything works fine but I´m not able to use my defined groups.
Lights are working great but the Hue bridge uses rooms and not groups, I think thats my problem.
The Deconz gateway uses only lights and groups.The module MMM-Hue works great with the Deconz gateway but it´s basic. The new module looks much better.
Is there a way to fix this problem?Regards,
Christian

Sure - open up the
mmm-hue-lights.js
file and go to line670
.You’ll see a comment saying
for the groups, let's immediately filter out anything that doesn't have a type of 'Room'
and a code block that looks like this:Object.keys(data.groups).forEach(function(key) { var itemType = data.groups[key].type.toLowerCase(); if (itemType !== 'room') { delete data.groups[key]; } });
If you delete or uncomment that code block, it will no longer filter out anything that isn’t a room.

Hi,
is there a way to get lights or groups sorted by name?
Regards,

@christian Not currently - I’m just displaying them in the order that the API spits them out.
-
@michael5r Ah, ok. But it would be a nice feature for the future.
-
@christian Sure - post it as an issue/feature request in the Github repo for this package and I’ll find some time to build it!

Hi,
I’ve recently installed this module and setup pretty painless. I am, however, having some issues in customising the display. As it’s likely me and not the module I thought here might be a better place than Github to ask.
The first issue is that, despite setting the position to be middle_center it adamantly displays justified to the left. If I set it as bottom_center, bottom_right or a variety of other positions it displays as expected; but always to the left if middle_center selected.
The second issue is that I can’t seem to get grid mode working. I’ve modified custom.css as advised, but it it just displays as a single column. I’ve even tried a full reboot of the RPi, but no difference.
The third is more of a question as I can’t find out how to do this. One of the display examples has the left column with room groups and the right with individual lights. Can anyone point in the direction as to how to do this?
Also - and I haven’t tried this yet - but has anyone tried this with two hubs?
For completeness, the config.js looks like this:
{ module: "mmm-hue-lights", position: "middle_center", config: { bridgeIp: "w.x.y.x", user: "12345678901234567890", displayType: "grid", displayMode: "groups", displayFilter: ['all'], hideFilter: ['Annex'], updateInterval: "5000" }
Thanks,
Dave
