Variables
ALERT (Alert)
With "select" the light performs one breath cycle and with "lselect" breathe cycles for 30 seconds. Breathe cycle means (citet from http://developers.meethue.com): "The light or lights do one smooth transition from the current state to a higher brightness in the current color to a lower brightness in the current color and back to the original state."

| Default Value: | 0 |

| Values: | |

FAST_BRIGHTNESS (Fast brightness)
Like "Brightness" but without resends and without waiting for a response. Use this variable for sliders.
| Type: | Integer |

FAST_SATURATION
| Type: | Integer |

| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
| Minimum Value: | 0 |
|---|
| Maximum Value: | 255 |

FAST_STATE (Fast state)
Like "State" but without resends and without waiting for a response.
| Type: | Boolean |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
HUE (Hue)
Sets the hue. Some examples: Red => 0, yellow => 18000, green => 25500, cyan => 36207, blue => 46920, pink => 56100.
| Type: | Integer |

| Minimum Value: | 0 |

| Maximum Value: | 65535 |
|---|
PEER_ID (Peer ID)
The ID of the peer. This variable is only needed for compatability reasons.
| Type: | Integer |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
REACHABLE (Reachable)
"true" when the device is currently reachable.
| Type: | Boolean |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | No |
|---|
RGB (RGB)
You can set a color in the format #RRGGBB here with RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) being a hexadecimal number between 00 and FF. The conversion sets hue, saturation and brightness (HSV). I tried setting "XY", but the RGB to xyY conversion works really bad. The conversion from RGB to HSV is still not perfect, but it works ok.
| Type: | String |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
SATURATION (Saturation)
The saturation of the current color.
| Type: | Integer |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
| Minimum Value: | 0 |
|---|
| Maximum Value: | 255 |
|---|
STATE (State)
Switches the light on using the last settings or off.
| Type: | Boolean |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
TRANSITION_TIME (Transition time)
Sets the time in 100ms units the next operation transitions.
| Type: | Integer |
|---|
| Readable: | Yes |
|---|
| Writeable: | Yes |
|---|
| Minimum Value: | 0 |
|---|
| Maximum Value: | 65535 |
|---|
| Default Value: | 5 |
|---|
XY (xyY)
The xyY value in the CIE 1931 xy chromaticity diagram. The format is x and y seperated by semicolon: E. g. for red: "0.675;0.322". The xy value is really bad to calculate, because the RGB color space provided by Philips doesn't seem to be right.
