Specific values for Hue lights

[iostreamz]

Greetings all,

I have the Philips Hue binding configured and working with all the lights already written into my sitemap.

My question is if it is possible to pass specific values to the Hue lights for the brightness and temperature attributes ?

For example if brightness is 0-100 create an item and map it to this light that sets the brightness to 50 and the same for temperature.

Could this also be possible for color ?..pass a specific color value ?

Would I create a string or number and pass a specific value ?..if so how would I go about this.

Thanks !

I am not using this myself, but here a few pointers.
All formats for Hue lamps are given here: Philips Hue - Bindings | openHAB
color expects an HSB value (Hue, Saturation, Brightness): Items | openHAB

And here for some conversions and manipulations:

Example: Convert Color Item Values To RGB (With Explanation)

Because there are regular questions on how to read the Color Items’ values as 24-bit RGB ranging from 0-255 I just wrote this little explanation how and why it works. (Or at least one of the many ways) Let’s say you have a Color item named aacc_color. With this rule you can read out the R, G and B values from it: rule "get RGB Colors from ColorItem" when Item aacc_color received command then val red = (receivedCommand as HSBType).red * 2.55 val green = (receivedCommand as HSBType).gr…
