Hello, I have about 50 Philips Hue lights in my house which have the option to control cold / warm white color. So, I want to create a flow where: at certain times the color temperature changes (9.00 → cool white, after 17 → warm white) for lights which are on new lights which are put on at cert…

Did you check the Zone Memory app already? It can save the state of certain capabilities, and restore it later on. I think also Light Triggers is a nice app for this

Thank you, I’m hoping to create this without the use of external apps. Zone memory looks quite difficult, LIght Triggers is something I’ll probably will check out!

Ah yes, but with like 50 lights… I’ d use an app for that. Of course you can try it with an adv. flow. like Wim showed already. Start with two or three lights, to test if it works as expected, then you can copy it to 50 lines and replace all other light cards to the light you wanted. But, when yo…

I understand your point. I just try to stick with the core, cause updates of external apps are usually les stable. That’s my experience when I once worked in webdesign using CMS. Starting small is indeed the best solution. Copy and pasting will do the rest :slight_smile:

Thank you, this looks pretty good. I’ll look into variables. Few questions tho: Why use ALL? Whats the purpose of that instead of directly drawing line to the lights? Does the variable work two ways? When a light is put on, how does it know which variable it has to pick? Sorry for the deleted po…

[Schermafbeelding 2024-01-06 om 13.31.37] Purely for cosmetic reasons. The flow uses always the same variable ‘kleurtemperatuur’, Only the value changes at 8:59 and 16:59. (Did you notice that ‘plafond 1’ is not turned on at 22:00?) (I am allergic to crossing lines)

Check, that makes sense. Far more clear with ANY I misunderstood the variables. Now I understand that it sets a value prior when it actually changes. Its really easy to make even 10 color changes this way . Probably have to set my browser percentage to 20% to make it fit :smiley: Altho I have ove…

BTW, bit off-topic, I deleted some wrong-named variants while trying to make the above flow. But I keep seeing the deleted variants when I want to select one. You would expect not see deleted variant cause you surely dont want to use them.

Just to be sure: Many hue-lights have a tag ‘kleurtemperatuur’. Choose the one listed under ‘logica’ [Schermafbeelding 2024-03-17 om 16.45.38]

Yes, correct. But I see 5 items at logica, while there is 1 active variable. I deleted the rest.

I have created a number-variable ‘kleurtemperatuur’ that changes at 8:59 and 16:59.

And then made this flow for only 4 lights. For 50 lights it will be a lot of work but doable?
