Quickly and easily control Philips Hue lights with Alfred.
-
After adding the workflow to Alfred, press the button on top of the Hue bridge and then run this command within 30 seconds:
-hue set-bridge
Note: Unfortunately, Alfred has only made workflows available to users who have purchased Powerpack.
For convenience basic light control is available using the hue keyword, while all admin features are accessed using -hue keyword.
Control the on/off state, color, and brightness for any individual light, or all lights at once.
Quickly save the current state as a named preset.
Then load them:
Control or save the state of just subset of lights so that you can have group presets or avoid turning your roommate's light off by accident.
This affects which lights will be changed when setting the state for "All lights" using the workflow.
To reset the group to all lamps again, use -hue set-group 0
- Bugfix: workflow didn't work when there were things on the bridge that don't have color state (xy), such as dimmable plug-in units.
- Using full state/datastore API for getting lights state instead of getting and storing every light individually. This is backwards incompatible and won't work with old presets since it saves data differently.

- Ported all workflow code to Python, built on top of alp.
- 'Lights' is now the index result set.
- New 'All Lights' option for setting the state for all lights in one command.
- Lights icons are now the actual current light color!
- Save presets states for all lights.
- Set which lights the workflow controls using easy group management via

Thanks to my testers & feature suggesters Danny Ricciotti and James Taylor
Thanks to Daniel Shannon for creating alp, which removed all the grunt work in creating a Workflow.
