@foxriver76 Hello together, is somebody working on an adapter for the Hue Sync Box? Or any other way to control it? Many thanks in advance! |
|
AFAIK not, however there is a homebridge plug-in which can be used with the iobroker adapter. |
|
Many thanks for your fast response. This would mean that I have to run homebridge with the Hue Sync Box Plugin (in another docker I guess?!) and then connect my ioBroker to the homebridge?! |
|
No, there’s an adapter which is able to use homebridge plug-ins in iobroker https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.ham and in the config of this adapter you can add https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-philips-hue-sync-box |
|
Hmmmm... many thanks! I will try it out as soon as possible :-) |
|
Hi foxriver76! I see maybe two paths (where I have no glue :-()
Do you have any idea how I could continue as next? Many many thanks! My configuration within the hem adapter: { Because of this configuration I get the following datapoints but nothing for switching the HDMI input: |
|
In the meantime I managed it via API. So therefore I can work without the adapter. The adapter was the door opener to activate the API. Now I can handle the rest via the API on my own. Anyhow... I think it would be very very good to have a "right" adapter here also for others. There are also scripts in the web to make the first connect much easier. I still hope that there will be an adapter in future so that I get rid of my "hack" :-) Many thanks to foxriver76 for the hint above that there is a possibility via ham adapter!! |
|
Of course, that’s why the issue is still open. If you are familiar with programming or want to get into it, feel free to start this project - many people would be thankful. ;-) |

Hi foxriver76, I think I would have fun developing such an adapter but I will get my second child soon and apart of this I would need time to get into this style of programming and I do not know how I could start such thing. I'm comming originally from the DOS and Windows world and in work life from embedded C, so also ioBroker is very new to me and I'm happy that I reached this point (but my wife complained allready about the time I spend). :-) |
|
In the meantime I share a blockly which I used now since a while which is not perfect but working stable for my use cases. Still the homebridge plugin might be needed to activate the API at the Hue Sync Box in case there is in the meantime no better way. It supports (can be extended on own wishes):

For all interested, I have built an adapter for the Hue Sync Box, who wants, can test it. GitHub: https://github.com/xXBJXx/ioBroker.hue-sync-box |
Nice!!!! I try to find time the next days |
|
@xXBJXx : Many many thanks!!!! I tested it and it works. 🥰 Greetings! |
|
PS. I am still working on a delete function for states and tokens. |
|
@xXBJXx : Hmmm... understood. With my personal implementation I was checking some status / values via the following code that I called cyclically. |
|
@RkcCorian
but but i already have a solution in sight, i will test it and if it works i will implement the solution |
|
@xXBJXx : Yes, in my case I'm not using intensity but the way that I implemented it gives me this as well. Anyhow... it is not a nice implementation to poll via curl, I'm happy in case you have a better solution. :-) |
|
@RkcCorian |
|
Ahh, oder so. Stehe bereit für einen Test 😀 |
|
@RkcCorian
Aber Achtung! Die neue löschen Funktion mit den zwei Optionen Deshalb am besten die Box neu registrieren lassen und auch die state’s neu anlegen lasen, da dort nämlich auch noch eine ID gesetzt wird, die fürs Löschen wichtig ist. |
|
Hab die Box neu registriert, Intensität geht jetzt auch 👍👍👍 |
|
Super Arbeit, danke!!!! Dann schicke ich mein eigenes Skript in die Rente, bzw. ins Archiv :-) |
|
@xXBJXx : Moin! Hab Deinen Adapter nun seit 3 Wochen im Einsatz, funktioniert super, keine Probleme!!! Vielen Dank!!!!! |
|
Adapter ist nun im repository verfügbar Bitte alle issues und feature requests im Adapter Repository (https://github.com/xXBJXx/ioBroker.hue-sync-box) eintragen. @xXBJXx Danke für deine Arbeit |

Due to the fact that Hue Sync Box has a separate API which would produce lots of overhead, it would be desirable to create a separate adapter.
Some information on the api can be found at ebaauw/homebridge-hue#552 (comment)
