I'm a starter and i try to connect multiple (5) Philips HUE Bulb to QLC+ to create a show. At the start i've follow this https://github.com/sinedied/dmx-hue/ to create an Art-Net connexion with my Philips Hue Bridge. It seems like the connexion works on the app but i don't understand why my fixture don't connect/reconize my bulb... Maybe i don't make the right set up on the fixture settings? Or the connexion isn't right (i've connect my Hue Bridge to univers 1 wich is univers 2 in QLC+ if i understood well) ?
Does someone know how to use Philips Hue Bulb on QLC+ ? I would be so happy to learn, i really need it for my project
Can you post your QLC+ project and what OS you are using?. I think you have not configured ArtNet universe on Hue matching QLC+ ArtNet Universe. A quick look at dmx-hue the default ArtNet universe is 0. The first ArtNet universe in QLC+ is ArtNet universe 0.
Take a look at QLC+ documentation. https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... lugin.html
I recently spent several hours trying to make it work for two Philips Hue light strips and was finally successful. Unfortunately I'm not sure what I did to make it work. I will say that there were several things i determined I did that kept it from working: 1. Be sure you start dmx-hue (I forgot once), 2. I used the generic RGB fixtures in QLC+, 3. make sure the first fixture channel number matches the channel number in the dmx-hue setup, 4. the dmx-hue setup ARTNET universe should be 0 if you're using Universe 1 in QLC+, 5. I thought the IP address needed to be the address of the hue bridge (in my case, 192.168.1.170), but that didn't work - what worked was 192.168.1.255. I'm not sure why. 6. While not sure about this one, it worked for the first time after I did it - namely, in the input/output tab, I unchecked the ART-NET box and then checked it again. All of a sudden the lights when on. From there I began to get things to work and was able to set up the simple desk to work, 7. Make sure you start dmx-hue first, then open QLC+ so it can find the hue bridge. Hope this gives you some troubleshooting directions. Just FYI, I'm new to QLC+ and dmx so I may not be saying everything correctly.

192.168.1.255
TLDR: In essence, the problem afriend1 describes, is that he had to broadcast information to his HUE-interface. I'm quite sure that all comes back to a network issue.
Question: where does the 'dmx-hue' run on? The same computer? In this case, a 127.0.0.1 should work?

Thank you all for yours answers.
I found my mistake - i've forget to run the hue-dmx before my app... - so now it's connected !
I add my bulbs as Generic RGB fixture but i have a new problem. The colors of my bulb don't match with the colors show in QLC+, does someone know how to fix this? For example: i use the color tool, change to yellow and my bulb turn to an orange...
>> I just realize that my first channel (Red) probably control the time transition (when it's on the minimum my bulb react super quick, no transition) and the two next channels (Green and Blue) are dimmers and color changer.
>> Another point, my bulbs react to multiple fixtures. Anyway if it's three or four channels (i tried with RGBW too) my bulb 2 connect to one channel (the Red one for example) from my bulb 1 or sometimes two channels... Same problem with all the bulbs.
UPDATE >>>> I found a solution, the first bulb have to be set on Generic WRGB because the white channel is the speed-transition channel of all the bulbs. After that, the next bulbs should be set on Generic RGB to match. It is important not to skip an address, otherwise it is again shifted from my observation.
To answer to sbenejam:
I'm working on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 and QLC+ 4.12.4a. What do you mean by posting my project? Sending the file?

Digging into that project, I assume 1st channel to be a general transition time multiplier (dmx-value * 100ms) [depending on the configuration of dmx-hue].
So Channel 1 in that universe is the general transition time, starting from channel 2, you have the RGB channel of fixture 1, ch. 5 the start of RGB fixture 2, etc
