Hue LED strip integration

[Köhler Medientechnik]

Hi,

i´ve got a client who wants to integrate a couple of Hue lights (some white spots and a LED RGB stripe) into his C4 environment.

In general it works (Hue bridge driver installed and configured and spots and stripes successfully added to project).
The only issue i have is the following related to the RGB stripe:

The client is setting the colors for the  RGB stripe with the Hue app on his smartphone.
The plan with C4 is, to just fade into this preselected color and then fade down to black based on programming and/or button press.
To achieve that, i´ve set "Turn on Values" to "Last used Values".

However, when turning on, the color´s do not match to what was set in the Hue app (warm white instead of the red the client set in the app).

Any ideas where to look?

Cheers,

Thorsten

When the light colors are set by the customer, I believe there is a way to GET COLORS in the C4 driver. It’s been a long time since I set mine, but I recall the color codes in C4 do not match the codes in the hue app.

Mh, OK. But i don´t need the color codes in C4 anyway - i just want to fade into what they are set to by the client with the app.

Hm, i think i got it.

Just using the "Single Lamp Brightness - FREE" instead of the "Single Lamp Full Color - FREE" driver seems to do the trick.

Since i do not need any control of the colors from within C4, i´m fine with just being able to adjust brightness which is enough to do a fade-in and fade-out.
