[solved] Trying to control Hue lights
Posted: Wed May 19, 2021 8:48 pm
Hi everyone!
for quite some time I am looking for a solution to control my Philips Hue lights with QLC+.
First i used dmx-hue by sinedied but it wont run on the same Pi as QLC so I used a seperate Pi Zero for it, but a few weeks ago it suddenly stopped working for no reason (its paired with the bridge but says no lights found). Not even reinstalling the dmx-hue-Pi worked.
So I went for this https://github.com/bahamas10/hue-cli
It runs on the same Pi as QLC+ and it works well from the Pi command line but it won't from QLC.
is what my script looks like
hue-off-all.sh:
Is it right that QLC+ executes systemcommands as root? hue-cli is working from both root and pi users in the terminal
Also I noticed that hue-cli needs up to a second to execute my command. I tried hue lights off & in the sh file but no success.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot and stay healthy!
Edit: It works now! I had other lines in the same script (startfunction) but as soon as only the systemcommand is in the script it works!
Now I try triggering that command-only script from the other one to automate stuff the way I want. If this is the last edit, it works as expected. Cheers =]
