Random Hue app for SmartThings (abandoned!)
There were other apps but none quite worked the way I wanted ... so I wrote my own.
This is an app for SmartThings that can change the color of lights on a schedule.
Color can change every:
- 1 minute
- 5 minutes
- 10 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
- 3 hours
Note: It seems like recent changes to the SmartThings cloud may have made 1 minute actually run every 5 minutes.
It has 3 color changing modes:
- Random
- From list (select from built-in list of colors that can be used)
- Incremental (walk the H portion of the HSV scale)
Lights can be controlled individually, or as a group (all change at the same time).
Start/Stop times can be absolute or relative to Sunrise/Sunset (with optional offset).
See the screenshots/ directory:
I have since moved on to Home Assistant (HA) because it is local only and written in Python, a language I have significantly more familiarity with.
Rather than let the code just die, I figured I would put it out, just in case someone wants to use it. The code is licensed under the GPL 3, please feel free to fork and continue development.
