Philips Hue emulator that is able to control multiple types of lights

diyHue

This project emulates a Philips Hue Bridge that is able to control ZigBee lights (using Raspbee module or original Hue Bridge or IKEA Tradfri Gateway), Mi-Light bulbs (using MiLight Hub), Neopixel strips (WS2812B and SK6812) and any cheep ESP8266 based bulb from market by replacing firmware with custom one. Is written in python and will run on all small boxes like RaspberryPi. There are provided sketches for Hue Dimmer Switch, Hue Tap Switch and Hue Motion Sensor. Lights are two-way synchronized so any change made from original Philips/Tradfri sensors and switches will be applied also to bridge emulator.

fix for existing users 13.feb.2018

Pull request mariusmotea#173 improve bulbs color. To apply this fix you need to replace in config.json file LCT001 with LCT015 and restart the service. I recommend to upgrade to latest version and upgrade lights firmware.

Requirements:

• python
• nmap package for esp8266 lights autodiscover sudo apt install nmap
• python ws4py package only if zigbee module is used sudo pip install ws4py

TO DO

• Working directly with ZigBee lights, switches and sensors with RaspBee module
• control IKEA Trådfri lights from HUE applications
• Create ESP8266 bridge device to add MI Lights to Hue Bridge emulator.
• On/Off control for other home devices using virtual lights
• Alarm (email notification + eps8266 horn)
• Hue Entertainment support

Working futures:

• Control lights (all functions)
• Control groups (all functions)
• Scenes (all functions)
• Routines
• Wake up
• Go to sleep
• Switches (custom esp8266 switches)
• Autodiscover lights

Working devices and applications:

• Amazon Alexa (control only the lights)
• Logitech Harmony
• Tradfri Gateway
• Hue Bridge (original + other emulators)
• Home Assistant
• Domoticz
• Openhab
• Philips Ambilight TV's
• Kodi Hue Ambilight
• Jeedom

Working smartphone applications:

• Hue (official application)
• hueManiac
• OnSwitch
• HueSwitcher
• LampShade

Not working:

• Home & Away future from Hue app (require remote api)
• Google Home (require remote api)
• Eneco Toon (very likely it use cloud service detection)

Supported lights:

• WS2812B and SK6812 smart led strips
• Pwm RGB-CCT
• Pwm RGBW
• Pwm RGB
• Pwm CCT
• Pwm Dimming (up to 6 lights for every esp8266)
• On/Off plugs/lights (up to 6 lights for every esp8266)
• On/Off 433Mhz devices (multiple devices for every esp8266). Credits Mevel
