v0.5.8

Don't expose Status Fault for non-ZigBee sensors (CLIP, built-in Daylight), because it's always true, and for ZGPSwitch sensors (Hue tap), because it's always false. See issue #139.

v0.5.7

homebridge-hue works with node v8.x using homebridge v0.4.22.

Bump homebridge to v0.4.22 and no longer issue warning for node v8.x (issue #125).

v0.5.6

Update dependencies:

• node v6.11.0 (or higher v6.x) or v7.10.0 (or higher v7.x) on install - node v8 is incompatible with homebridge-hue (issue #125);
• Bump to homebridge v0.4.21, which no longer creates the (hidden) BridgingState service and hopefully allows more accessories before the iCloud sync fails (issue #129).

Note: you need to upgrade to homebridge v0.4.21 (npm -g install homebridge --unsafe-perm) before upgrading to homebridge-hue v0.5.6. If not, you'll see the following errors when starting homebridge:

v0.5.5

Reset Transition Time to default 0.4s, after it's been used. See issue #130.

v0.5.4

Added support for specifying transitiontime from HomeKit, by adding a Transition Time characteristic to the bridge accessory. See issue #130.

v0.5.3

Several enhancements:

• Added innr RB 165 to list of known lights (issue #128);
• Added warning for node v8.x (issue #125);
• Optionally suppress Resource characteristic by specifying "resource": false in config.json (issue #129).

v0.5.2

Added dresden elektronik FLS-CT to list of known lights (issue #124) - again...

v0.5.1

Added dresden elektronik FLS-CT to list of known lights (issue #124).

Issue debug message on startup, with Hue section of config.json.

v0.5.0

Now using the standard Color Temperature characteristic, that Apple silently introduced in iOS 10.3. The iOS built-in Home app now supports setting Colour Temperature on Color Temperature Lights. See issue #121. Also deprecated the ct setting in config.json.

Note this is a minor release, because any scene or automation containing colour temperature will be broken after updating homebridge-hue.

v1.0.0-0

Initial alpha release using dynamic platform accessories (see issue #4) and homebridge-lib v0.0.2-0.

Install using sudo npm -g install homebridge-hue@alpha.

Note that this release isn't functional: it doesn't expose any lights, sensors, or other devices connected to a bridge. It does offer the following functionality:

• Discover Philips Hue and deCONZ bridges using their respective portals and UPnP;
• Persist accessories and all relevant settings (incl. username and heartbeat) in ~/.homekit/acccessories/cachedAccessories;
• Restore bridges discovered in a previous session from persistent storage;
• Enable/disable a bridge, including automatic creation and deletion of a bridge username;
• Setting heartrate per bridge;
• Support bridge configuration changes without restarting homebridge:
  • Changed name. Unfortunately, the new name is only reflected in HomeKit after homebridge is removed and re-paired;
  • Changed ip address;
  • Deleted username;
• Cleanup cached accessories from ~/.homekit/acccessories/cachedAccessories when Hue platform is not specified in config.json.
