About this app

Developer Description

Combine your Hue or LIFX light bulbs with the power of Tasker!

✭Requires Tasker or Locale to function✭

Please note: While this app still works with your Philips Hue bridge, and should keep doing so for the foreseeable future, it is no longer updated and maintained. Thanks for all the support over the years!

Ever wanted to control your Philips Hue Lights without reaching for a remote? Have the lights turn on automatically as soon as you enter your home? Or have the lights blink when you receive a new notification?
Well now you can do all of this with and much more with AutoHue!

AutoHue let’s you program your Hue & LIFX Light Bulbs to react to anything that Tasker supports!

Autohue supports many actions, including:

💡 Power
💡 Color
💡 Brightness
💡 Alerts (blink)
💡 Color Loop
💡 Custom JSON

Note for Hue users: for Hue lights the app only works on your local (WIFI) network, this is currently the case due to a restriction in the Hue API.

In addition to sending commands you can also retrieve the state of the light bulbs or hue bridge. Use this to create even more powerful actions!

Next to Hue and LIFX this plugin should support any light bulb that is connected to a Philips Hue bridge (e.g. Osram & Ikea Trådfri). Feel free to contact me if you run into issues with these bulbs, as they are currently not officially supported.

What's New

- Improvements to how variables are shared with Tasker. Tasker will now know about the variables that a task exposes and thus they will be listed within the same action's "variable select" popup.
- Minor bugfixes

Make sure to take it off battery optimisation, otherwise it won't work when triggered in background.

It's a fantastic app! The update recent to 1.08 ruined some things in Lifx. Before, when you pick anything, for example Breathe, pick a colour. It will then ask you what brightness you want. Then you get this line: Hue: 300 Saturation:1.00 brightness:1.00. Giving you total control to fine tune if needed. Now since the update, that is gone. Pick a colour and you're given a hexadecimal value. That means you can't choose saturation and brightness. Only way to do that is type that whole like yourself. Please fix it so we can get that full control back. And also add the ability to choose groups. Then it will get 5 stars! Otherwise thank you for the great app!

When setting up tasks, and for a while after it works perfectly. But after a longer period (2hr?) It doesn't seem to connect properly so state isn't retrieved and command/tasks aren't preformed. It starts working again immediately if I test a task.

In the plugin UI, it will show the hue state and all variables prefectly, but when run in a task, the app ALWAYS receives "null" or "undefined" for all variables when trying through a local WiFi network :/ It works when connecting remotely. I RALLY wish this feature would work properly...
