Emulate a Philips Hue bridge running on an ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE.

ESP8266HueEmulator

This sketch emulates a Philips Hue bridge running on an ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE. Right now this is a proof-of-concept; contributions are highly welcome. Hue client apps can discover the emulated bridge and begin talking to it using the Hue protocol.

Optionally, vou can use a strip of individually addressable WS2812b NeoPixels and attach it to GPIO2. The sketch talks to a strip of NeoPixels connected to GPIO2 (= pin D4 on the WEMOS D1 mini) of the ESP8266 with no additional circuitry. Right now the sketch uses the NeoPixels to tell that it is powered on, connected to the WLAN etc., and can switch on the first 3 NeoPixels using a Hue client (e.g., the iOS app).

To make this work, the sketch advertises its service with the so-called "Simple Service Discovery Protocol" (SSDP) that is also used as discovery protocol of Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). This sketch uses the ESP8266SSDP library from https://github.com/me-no-dev/Arduino

Please note that currently only the bare minimum to advertise the emulated Hue bridge is implemented, but it is enough so that the http://chromaforhue.com OS X app can discover and communicate with the emulated bridge.

Usage

• I used Arduino-1.6.11.hourly201608161225.esp497d19d-x86_64.AppImage which conveniently comes with both the Arduino IDE and esp8266/Arduino ready-to-use; otherwise use a recent version of the Arduino IDE and esp8266/Arduino
• In the Arduino IDE, Open the Library Manager and search for "NeoPixelBus by Makuna" and install
• Download https://github.com/interactive-matter/aJson/archive/master.zip and install the library via the Arduino IDE
• Important: Change #define PRINT_BUFFER_LEN 256 to #define PRINT_BUFFER_LEN 4096 in aJson/aJSON.h
• Edit the sketch to contain your WLAN credentials
• Load the sketch onto your ESP-01 or other ESP8266 device
• Optionally connect the DATA line of your WS2812b NeoPixels to pin GPIO2 (you do not really need this in order to test communication between the sketch and Hue client apps)
• Watch the output of the sketch in a serial console
• Connect to the emulated bridge by using a Hue client app
• Switch on one of the lights
• Continue watching the output of the sketch in a serial console
• Implement more of the protocol
• Contribute pull requests ;-)

esp8266hueemulator's Issues

Need help with WS2812 5050 RGB 12-LED Ring

I have a WS2812 5050 RGB LED Ring with 12 leds. It is connected to pin D4 (GPIO2) on a WEMOS D1 Mini Pro that is configured as bridge. The HUE app on my iPad finds the HUE bridge emulator and reports 6 Hue Light Strips.

I am not sure how to modify the ESP8266HueEmulator.INO so that it works with this led ring. I have found the NUM_PIXELS_PER_LIGHT and PixelCount defines in the INO, but whatever I set it doesn't change anything on the led ring.

Any suggestions?

Cannot connect to bridge

Great idea and awesome project! I got this compiled and installed on a ESP-07 to try it out.

I used Chroma.app on my laptop, and it can discover the bridge, but cannot connect.

Here is the console output from the ESP chip:

I assume this is working since with this, Chroma for Hue finds a Bridge, so does the Hue iOS app. In constrast, without this they say no Bridge found.

Official Hue iOS app says connection to bridge lost

The official Hue iOS app starts connecting to the emulated bridge and begins communicating with it, then says that the connection to bridge is lost. I do not know why yet; probably some of the answer messages are not correct yet.

Please note that currently only the bare minimum to advertise the emulated Hue bridge is implemented, but it is enough so that the http://chromaforhue.com OS X app can discover and communicate with the emulated bridge.

Pull requests are highly welcome!

Use spiffs to store scenes etc.

Let's use spiffs to store scenes etc. https://github.com/sticilface/Esp8266-Hue/tree/spiffs_branch is using spiffs.

Understand differences of "new" rectangular bridge

There seems to be a "new" rectangular bridge

We should understand the differences and potentially implement them. When I started with ESP8266HueEmulator there was only the round (original) bridge.

What Hardware is supported

Dear...
Great peace of work!!!!!!

My problem, what Hardware do i need.
Can i switch a regular white or rgb ledstrip to, when i am fine to now that this not the same color like HUE
There are more esp8266 version will this work on all?
And perhaps you have other idea's what i can buy in China...

Help Me pls

Please add a LICENSE file

Some background:
https://github.com/blog/1964-open-source-license-usage-on-github-com

Since you are using the NeoPixelBus which is LGPL you should use LGPL too.

Use real time and timezones

The original bridge has real time clock information and knows about timezones, allowing for timed events. Maybe we could use https://github.com/JChristensen/Timezone to do the same.

Room saving

I was testing the software using the original Philips Hue application. I am able to discover and control the light. However, after I make the first control, this is lost and the Android app force me to assign the light in a room.

I do that every time, but I think is making a save request to the ESP and this is just ignoring.

Do you have the same issue ?

Incorrect colors

I recently did a fresh installation of everything, I am emulating just one light with 24 pixels.

All seems to work fine except the colors. What could be causing this issue? Any way I can fix it?

I am using wifimanager library to connect to a wifi network at initialization.

New lights should extend an existing bridge

Most Hue apps only support one bridge per home, with the idea being that additional Hue lights simply extend a bridge.

Controlling two or more ESP8266 bridges is tedious and infeasible if one would like to add multiple lights throughout their home.

It would be optimal if additional wireless lights simply extended an existing bridge, so we could control all the lights in our home without having to change apps or delve into app settings.

Control of IR Bulbs?

Guys,
There are lot's of very cheap infrared controlled Bulbs out there. Any body like the idea of added IR support to this project? There would of course be some limitations as IR typically has specific codes for a reduced set of colours and there is always the sync issue when the same code is used for on and off. However, with a simple IR Transmitter (IR Transmitter LED, a resister and maybe a transistor) we could have limited control over IR bulbs aswell...

what do I wrong?

Wrong color conversion?

Hi. I'm just playing around with this emulator. So far everything seems to work fine.
However, when using the Hue App, it seems that the colors are somehow "messed up".
It is hardly impossible to set a desired color using the Hue App.
As far as I can tell, the problem is in the getXYtoRGB function. From my understanding this function should translate the XY values to rgb values in the range of 0.0 to 1.0. - which then, multiplied with the saturation, give rgb values in the range of 0-255. However, the calculation give values outside of this range.

As example: Trying to set dark red: Hue App sends for xy 0.690456 / 0.295907, which is close to a absolute red. Doing the math I'm getting as r=1.6559, g=0.5179 and b=0.2311 ... which end's up in these RBG values red=166, green=132 and blue=59 ... all at all not even a red, but more of a "white with a touch of red". It is no surprise, cause the calculated values are > 255: red = $01A6, green=$0084, blue=$003A - but when converted to uint8_t, only the lower 8 bits are used ...

I double checked with various other pages, but the math is always (more or less) the same ...
What am I missing here?

Any support for HUE sensors using API ?

I have a temp. humid sensor attached to the arduino.
It would be cool to see the readouts using HUE.

Example call:

all : /api//sensors
or one specific : /api//sensors/

Do not hardcode client identification string

In the sketch you will find something like String client = "e7x4kuCaC8h885jo";. This needs to be changed by you to the client string that the client app actually sends. This is a quick and dirty hack, the sketch should parse this out of what is being sent by the app instead.

'hsb' was not declared in this scope

when I try to compile the sketch I get the following error:
ESP8266HueEmulator:550: error: 'hsb' was not declared in this scope
'HsbColor' does not name a type

I`m on Arduino 1.6.4 and I use the arduino-esp version on july 23th

iOS Hue app causes reboot

Seems to cause reboots consistently, whenever the brightness is altered.

Looking at the serial output, it seems to receive requests constantly when the brightness slider is moved, until it hits the "You need to use a newer version of the ESP826" line and then it reboots.

It works fine for the chroma app on the mac?

Any ideas?

Can't turn the lights on

Hi!
I cannot make this work. I have a esp8266 (data pin: D4) connected to ws2812b lightstrip with 32 leds.
I could connect to it thought the phone app but cannot turn the lights on.
The only instruction I didn't do is this because I didn't find this one: Replace avm/pgmspace.h with pgmspace.h
what I set up:
wifi creditials,
#define NUM_PIXELS_PER_LIGHT 32
#define pixelCount 32
#define pixelPin D4
set #define PRINT_BUFFER_LEN 4096 in aJSON.h
and this one shows as many device in the app as I write into it:
#define MAX_LIGHT_HANDLERS 2
What have I missed?

Switch to async libraries

In order to improve reliability, we might switch to

#include <ESPAsyncTCP.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>
#include <AsyncJson.h>

Pull requests for an async branch welcome.

Ajson

Can I ask why you switched from arduinojson to ajson?

I'm looking at integrating this project now so trying to get to grips with it.

Looking at the json string I thing you limit of 8 lights is to do with you json print buffer size. I can do 10 actually. But it breaks once my strong goes over 4096 chars.

The original hue strip light I think can only be one colour at a time. Just looking at their promo video. So one solution would be to set how many hue lights u want to a max of 8, then dividing the strip up by that number?

I'm going to try and use spiffs to store the led state so that u can name the lights, add groups etc.

App does not see the emulated bulb

The http://chromaforhue.com OS X app does not see the emulated bulb.

Please note that currently only the bare minimum to advertise the emulated Hue bridge is implemented, but it is enough so that the http://chromaforhue.com OS X app can discover and communicate with the emulated bridge.

Pull requests welcome.

Consider state for creating JSON

For creating the JSON, we should take the state of the lights into consideration.

For example, as per the Hue API, brightness 0 is not the same as off. However, physically in an RGB strip, the two are the same. The sketch should maintain the state whether a light is off or brightness 0, because otherwise the client app will do strange things (e.g., set the brightness slider to 0 whenever the light is switched off).

Pull requests welcome.

ESP8266 Library for driving WS2812 led-strip using the I2S output.

Check the ESP8266 Library for driving WS2812 led-strip using the I2S output. https://github.com/JoDaNl/esp8266_ws2812_i2s

Colors are wrong

Hue clients send color information not as RGB (which would be the easiest) but, as one of multiple options, as hue, sat, briwith hue (expressed in ~deg*182.04), bri between 0-254 (0 is not off!), and sat between 0-254. Conversions are required to drive NeoPixels which only understand RGB. Currently these conversions are not correct.

Need to use HSB. Makuna has started to implement HSBColor object already.
Looking forward to using it.

Anyone tried to use ESP8266HueEmulator with Amazon Alexa?

I tried to use ESP8266HueEmulator with Amazon Alexa, but Alexa can't find new device.
She said: "If you have Philips Hue, press the button on Hue bridge"...

ESP8266 using Sleep as Android

Hello there,
I'm trying to know if there is a way the app Sleep as Android could recognize the hub created with the ESP8266 as an actual Philips Hue Hub, since there's a functionality to use philips smartbulbs in this app. This way, I could plug a ws2812b led strip on this "false" hub and then make it recognize on this app, and wakeup with controlled ambient lightning with it...
Do you know if this could work ?

Thanks for any answers or advices !
(Sorry for my English !)

"New" iOS app crashes when searching bridge

More than one NeoPixel per emulated bulb/LightStip

Let's say I have a 30-LED NeoPixel strip but the sketch can only emulate 6 Hue LightStrips. There should be a constant that can be set to have more than one consecutive NeoPixels treated as one emulated LightStrip. In this example, I would like to set const ledsPerBulb = 5; // treat 5 physical LEDs as one emulated bulb.

Pull requests welcome!

Compare with sticilface/Esp8266-Hue

https://github.com/sticilface/Esp8266-Hue is another implementation.
Unfortunately it is a bit short on documentation, but it seems like it is more efficient than this implementation when it comes to the JSON processing.

Let's see whether we can combine the best of all worlds.

Pull requests welcome.

xy to RGB

I've just spent several hours on this particular problem and have not solved it, its a bit out of my area.
For the iOS Hue app to work, I require xy colour space numbers.

your equation for rgb to xy works.

I cannot derive one that converts RGB back to xy!

can you help?

Speed it up

Currently there is a high latency (around 2-3 seconds) for processing a request. Why is this?

Pull requests appreciated.

Using RGB power strip

I've a RGB LED strip with 60 leds. However it is not neopixel compatible. Rather, it has 4 wires, white-positive, Red, Green and blue for negative of those three colours respectively. I've managed to get colour of my choice using esp8266 creating a webserver. This is done by using 3 n-MOSFETS connected to Red, green and blue wires and to ground. Their gate is driven by 3 GPIO pins of the esp8266 using pulse width modulation technique as there is no true analog output from esp8266

But due to lack of knowledge of internet protocols, ssdp and all that, i am unable to follow the example code you gave for lighting the neopixel. To get colour of my choice i only need red, green and blue
intensity levels separately as integer values from 0-255.

If i am correct, there is a virtual function in your library for that *lighthandler, but i am unable to get red, green and blue levels there...any help is greatly appreciated.

If i am successful, i will put these strips at strategic locations to get lighting effect according to time of day, music being played and what not. The reason i am trying for hue protocol is that there are so many apps already there to achieve these goals, i only have to make my led strip appear like a hue light bulb. I suppose, that will not be very difficult courtesy to your library as neopixel example you gave achieves this.

Another advantage of using philips hue protocol is that it can be directly connected to the cloud and using services like ifttt.com (please see: https://ifttt.com/hue for examples, if interested) i can very easily achieve something like the following (just a few examples, but very useful at least for me):

fading alarm--light should gradually increase intensity 6.00am-8.00am in morning much like the real thing.
alert lights -- if someone is outside my room, the PIR sensor gives a signal and the light should automatically turn somewhat more reddish in colour and increase intensity.
fitness tracker alert -- if i do not run according to my goal, the light should turn somewhat more yellowish
sleep assistant -- light shold gradually fade according to time and turn orangish in evening time.
example like point 3 which depend on different services can be achieved due to support of 3rd party...

New Apps require Push-Link-Button

New Apps, like the 2. gen Android App find the bridge,
but won't get past waiting for the user to press the Push-Link-Button on the Bridge.

Same happens for the Luminance Hue App for Linux(relies on phue Phyton library),
which throws an exception at the Push-Link screen:
http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response

fatal error: TimeLib.h: No such file or directory

I just downloaded the latest version and I I am seeing this error when I verify it:

`D:\Development\ESP8266 Arduino\Sketches\ESP8266HueEmulator-master\ESP8266HueEmulator\ESP8266HueEmulator.ino:10:21: fatal error: TimeLib.h: No such file or directory

#include <TimeLib.h>

                 ^

compilation terminated.

How can I solve this?

ESP Client

Is there a possibility to use an esp as a client?

Using sk6812 RGBW Strip

The sk6812 is a digital light strip which works similar to the ws2812, but is also available with additional white leds. Adafruit also sells them as Neopixels RGBW.
I guess this is a better choice, as I want to use this project for my main room light.

As Philips also sells the Hue Light Strip Plus with separated white now,
I wonder if it will be easy to modify this code to act as the light strip plus.

Process the Input that is send to the emulator (and send them to Yeelight)

Not really an issue but a question/idea
Is there already any implementation to actually process the hue commands that the emulator recieves?

For example, I am interested in the Xiaomi Yeelight Wifi Bulbs,
and would like to use the esp8266 to send commands to it.

This would make a really cheap Hue alternative, that doesn't lack the features of the real thing.

Wifi connection issue.

I had to replace the part of setup() that connects to WiFi with the more normal

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
    while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

from other sketches, since it would fail 90% of the time and the code it has would just stop there and say WiFi failed. I dont know enough about git to be able to do whatever to update it.

It is Possible to control a RGB/White LED/LED-Strip via ESP's built-in PWM generators ?

My attempt to control a RGB or White LED via your awesome HueEmulator failed badly... i don't know where to implement the analogWrites() in the Sketch.

It is Possible that you will implement a Feature to control every (RGB & White) LED via ESP's built-in PWM generators via the HueEmulator ?

That would be awesome!

Hue iOS app seems to require scenes functionality

When I open the iOS app (the one with the color icon), it finds the emulated bridge, but it immediately asks me to create a "room". Then it stalls forever "saving" the "room", doing requests like

=== 121256
Method: POST
requestedUri: api/api/scenes
URI: scenes
121257
[{"error":{"type":4,"address":"/api/api/","description":"Method not supported for scenes"}}]
121261
=== 121287
Method: POST
requestedUri: api/api/scenes
URI: scenes
121288
[{"error":{"type":4,"address":"/api/api/","description":"Method not supported for scenes"}}]
121292
=== 121317
Method: DELETE
requestedUri: api/api/groups/1
URI: groups/1
121317
=== 123624

Apparently the app insists on each lamp being in a scene now. It used to work entirely without scenes before.

This effectively prevents me from using the iOS app.

The other iOS app (the one with the b/w icon) does not seem to be able to find the emulated bridge at all.

ESP2866 Lib Ardunio IDE

What ESP2866 Lib are we all using? For some reason it errors out when compiling, saying ESP2866 Generic is not supported. Which ESP2866 Board are you guys working with? Thanks!

compile error

I am getting an error compiling. The error is described here.
esp8266/Arduino#612
What setup are you using to avoid this.
I am also getting a waring which i get rid of by adding this near the top.
// gets rid of annoying "deprecated conversion from string constant blah blah" warning

pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wwrite-strings"
