Controlling Hue lightbulbs in proximity to Estimote iBeacons

HueBeacons

Estimote iBeacons controlling Hue lightbulbs (based on the Philips Hue iOS SDK Quick Start sample).

Video Demo

Usage

1. Setup your beacons in InitRegion of PHControlLightsViewController.m:

   ...
   // Setup your iBeacons here
   self.beaconRegion1 = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:proximityUUID major:19313 minor:25175 identifier:@"Blueberry Pie"];
   self.beaconRegion2 = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:proximityUUID major:36081 minor:35603 identifier:@"Icy Marshmallow"];
   self.beaconRegion3 = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID:proximityUUID major:29580 minor:8741 identifier:@"Mint Cocktail"];
   
   NSArray *hueBeaconKeys = @[@"major",@"minor",@"beaconName",@"lightIdentifier"];
   
   // Setup the mapping of your Hue bulbs (light ID) here. This may take some  trial and error.
   NSMutableDictionary *hueBeacon1 = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:@[self.beaconRegion1.major,self.beaconRegion1.minor,self.beaconRegion1.identifier,@"1"] forKeys:hueBeaconKeys];
   NSMutableDictionary *hueBeacon2 = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:@[self.beaconRegion2.major,self.beaconRegion2.minor,self.beaconRegion2.identifier,@"2"] forKeys:hueBeaconKeys];
   NSMutableDictionary *hueBeacon3 = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:@[self.beaconRegion3.major,self.beaconRegion3.minor,self.beaconRegion3.identifier,@"3"] forKeys:hueBeaconKeys];
   ...
   

2. Most of the magic happens in (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didRangeBeacons:(NSArray *)beacons inRegion:(CLBeaconRegion *)region:

   for (CLBeacon* beacon in beacons){
   ...
       for (PHLight *light in cache.lights.allValues) {
   	    if ([light.identifier isEqualToString:lightIdentifierForBeacon]){
   		    // If within 1M of the current beacon
   		    if(beacon.accuracy<=1.0){
   			    ...
   			    [lightState setOnBool:YES];
   		    } else {
   			    [lightState setOnBool:NO];
   		    }
   		
   		    [bridgeSendAPI updateLightStateForId:lightIdentifierForBeacon withLighState:lightState completionHandler:^(NSArray *errors) {
   			    if (errors != nil) {
   				    ...
   			    }
   		    }];
   	    }
       }
       [self.hueBeaconMapping setObject:hueBeacon forKey:hueBeaconKey];
   }
   

Just take me where the light is.
