Starting of a "dynamic" HUE scene

[megahorst]

Hi Giovane, all!
I bought some HUE lights and have been playing around a bit.
So far the implementation of the HUE nodes in knxultimate works great. Thanks for all the effort you have put in here.

One thing I am struggling with:
The start of the "natural daylight" scene. (In German "Natürliches Licht")
The hueScene node lists all the scenes, but this one is missing. Is this intentional, a mistake on my part, or something that could be implemented?

Thx and BR,
Markus

Hi Markus
Probably the Umlaut does some weird things.
Let me check...

I have tried already with renaming it to "daylight". Did not help ...

[Supergiovane]

Hi again.
Umlaut is not a problem.
Everytime you add/modify a scene, you should restart node-red for the changes to be read.
Please let me know also, if the "Natürliches Licht" scene, belongs to a Room.
Thanks

Thx a lot for looking into this.
Any idea about a workaround to change the the color of the light acording to the position of the sun?
There some nodes available that could take over steering but I need to be able to send the color to the lamps ...

[Supergiovane]

There is a node that calculates the position of the sun, based on LAT and LONG coordinates, such as this https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-sunpos but maybe thera are others.

Is it possible to send color and dim level as message into the hue light node?

[Supergiovane]

Yes. Just activate the input-output pins in the configuration. Please read the help panel in node red or the wiki here on github.

I have tiried with an inject node with no success ...

this examples did not work.

Do you have any ideas or a working example?
