Simple Philips Hue module (2-serie)
#lighting
|
Hi Claus,
I expect it wouldn't be /impossible/ to write a 2-series compatible module for Philips Hue, but when you factor in pairing with the hub, the Rest API and parsing the responses, the effort involved probably just isn't worth it. I know there are always reasons why a client may not want to upgrade working equipment, but I think the days for 2-series are justifiably behind us and a 3 or 4 series would be a good investment. All the best, Oliver |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAs far as I¡¯m aware the, the Hue API uses HTTPS which is not possible on 2-series. The cryptography required means a minimum of 3-series processor that has access to the necessary SIMPL# libraries.?On Dec 16, 2020, at 10:47 AM, Oliver Hall <oliver.hall@...> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSome cryptography (none that you should actually be using this decade, but some¡) can be very, very, painfully implemented on the 2-series (and assuming the processor isn¡¯t doing much if anything else)¡ or using something like a pi as an unsecured proxy to at least get the crypto out of the picture¡ but by the time you get to hacking something like that and the service calls that will happen when someone changes where a punctuation mark shows up, you¡¯ve probably paid for a few dozen RMC3s even at full MSRP. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?
