Been going through my photos to find the photos I need to for the 3 blog posts I wrote about it yesterday. Came across some random photos, starting with the first node getting set up, with GUI for some reason:
Wrote 3 blog posts today 🫣 . Finishing off the 4th, and doing GitHub sponsors update after. Will be previewing two of those blog posts in there as one is a bit short: https://github.com/sponsors/WyriHaximus
Loving #PhilipsHue's long press to turn all the lights off. With some node-red and #HomeAssistant, I just extended that to our #lego light kits and display lights.
It was slightly infuriating to do because I had to figure out which event it was and to do that I had to look at all events coming from HA just to find "hue_event" among all "state_changed" events. It was simple after that to find the "long_release" event type for the "hue_event".
@benoit_badrignans True, but that is not exactly the same as the event type in the event object. The UI shows "Long release" while the value of event.type was "long_release". They are almost the same, but not guaranteed the same translation happens for each event.
@secupriv@benoit_badrignans Yeah it applies, thanks both found them in both locations. Will go there first next time because the "hue_event" is listed. (Not that in matters much but not using Zigbee directly but the official Hue bridge.)
Using node-red in such a way that I get all events, filter all that are of the long_release type, and then trigger the service calls.
