Change Log

5.0.0-alpha.1

  • Providing a fix for the discovery portal (N-UPnP search) issues where a user has multiple bridges, where some of them are invalid. This changes the return value for discovery requiring a major version bump. Issue #168.

4.0.8

  • Fixes problems in TypeScript definitions for the model, Issue #181

4.0.7

  • Fixes typo in bridge software update configuration choices, Issue #170.

4.0.6

  • Same as 4.0.5 due to merge error on my part

4.0.5

  • Various TypeScript definition fixes including Issue #166.

4.0.4

  • Fixing UPnP lookup results failures, Issue #162.

4.0.3

  • TypeScript definition updates

4.0.2

  • Fixing TypeScript definition return types for Groups API, Issue #157
  • Adding another Rule status looperror to Rule status options, Issue #158

4.0.1

  • fixes/improvements in TypeScript definitions
  • removal of an invalid character in source code of the remote API Issue #155

4.0.0

  • Deprecated v2 API and shim and modules removed from library

  • Introduced rate limiting in the Light and Group set States to be compliant with the Hue API documentation best practices. This only has an impact on this library, so it may be possible if you are running other software on your network accessing the Bridge, you will still able to overload it.

    • The whole API is currently limited to 12 requests per second by default (currently not configurable)
    • lights.setLightState() is limited to 10 requests per second
    • groups.setState() is limited to 1 request per second

  • v3.discovery.nupnp() Now returns a different payload as it no longer accesses the XML Discovery endpoint to return the bridge data as this can become unreliable when the bridge is overloaded. See the documentation for specifics.

  • v3.api removed the create function as it was deprecated, use createRemote() fro the remote API, createLocal() for the local API or createInsecureLocal() for non-hue bridges that do not support https connections

  • v3.Scene has been removed, use the following functions to create a new Scene instance:

    • v3.model.createLightScene()
    • v3.model.createGroupScene()

    This change has also allowed for the separation of the attributes and getter/setters locked down properly based on the type of Scene, i.e. Cannot change the lights in a GroupScene (as they are controlled by the Group).

  • v3.sensors has been removed, use v3.model.createCLIPxxx() functions instead

  • v3.rules has been moved into v3.model

    • To create a Rule use v3.model.createRule()
    • To create a RuleCondition use v3.model.ruleConditions.[group|sensor]
    • To create a RuleAction use v3.model.ruleActions.[light|group|sensor|scene]

  • v3.model added to support exposing the underlying model objects that represent bridge objects. This module will allow you to create all of the necessary objects, e.g. createGroupScene()

  • Capabilities API:

  • Groups API:

    • The following API functions will accept a Light Object as the id parameter as well as an integer value:
      • groups.get(id)
      • groups.getGroup(id)
      • deleteGroup(id)
      • enableStreaming(id)
      • disableStreaming(id)
    • groups.createGroup(group) introduced, it expects a pre-configured Group instance created using the model functions:
      • model.createLightGroup()
      • model.createEntertainment()
      • model.createRoom()
      • model.createZone()
    • groups.get(id) has been deprecated, use groups.getGroup(id) instead.
    • groups.createGroup(name, lights) has been deprecated, use groups.createGroup(group) instead.
    • groups.createRoom(name, lights, roomClass) has been deprecated, use groups.createGroup(group) instead.
    • groups.createZone(name, lights, roomClass) has been deprecated, use groups.createGroup(group) instead.
    • groups.updateAttributes(id, data) has been deprecated, Use groups.updateGroupAttributes(group) instead.

  • Lights API:

    • getLightById(id) is deprecated use getLight(id) instead
    • rename(id, name) is deprecated, use renameLight(light) instead
    • The following API functions will accept a Light Object as the id parameter as well as an integer value:
      • getLight(id)
      • getLightById(id)
      • getLightAttributesAndState(id)
      • getLightState(id)
      • setLightState(id, state)
      • deleteLight(id)

  • Scenes API:

    • getScene(id) introduced, can take a scene id or Scene instance as the id value
    • get(id) has been deprecated, use getScene(id) instead
    • getByName(name) has been depricated use getSceneByName(name) instead
    • updateScene(scene) introduced to replace update(id, scene) for updating Scenes
    • update(id, scene) has been deprecated, will be removed in 5.x, use updateScene(scene) instead
    • deleteScene(id) can accept a scene id or a Scene object as the id parameter
    • activateScene(id) can accept a scene id value or a Scene object
    • updateLightState(id, lightId, sceneLightState) can take an id value or Scene/Light for the id and lightId values respectively

  • Sensors API:

    • get(id) has been depreciated use getSensor(id) instead
    • getSensor(id) will accept a Sensor Object as the id or the integer id value as parameter.
    • updateName(id, name) has been deprecated, will be removed in 5.x, use reanmeSensor(sensor) instead
    • renameSensor(sensor) has been added to allow updating of the name only for a sensor (makes API consistent with lights and sensors)
    • getSensorByName(name) added to get sensors by name

  • Rules API:

    • The following API functions will accept a Rule Object as the id parameter as well as an integer value:
      • get(id)
      • deleteRule(id)
    • Added getRuleByName(name) function to get rules by name
    • Rule Actions were common to the new Schedules, so have been moved from v3.model.ruleActions to v3.model.actions. Use of v3.model.ruleActions is considered deprecated.

  • Schedules API:

    • The schedules API is finally properly implemented, along with all the various Hue Bridge TimePatterns

      • model.timePatterns provides an interface with creating the various timePatterns, consult the documentation for details

    • The previous schedules.update(id, schedule) function has been removed and replaced with schedules.update(schedule).

      I am fairly sure that the previous version was most likely never used (base on the implmenetation as it would have likely errored). With this knowledge, it was not deprecated and just removed. If you are impacted by this change, please raise an Issue.

  • ResourceLinks API:

    • New API interacting with ResourceLinks via, api.resourceLinks, see documentation for more details.

  • Configuration API:

    • get() has been deprecated, use getConfiguration() instead
    • update() has bee depricated, use updateConfiguration() instead

  • All creation function calls to the bridge will now return the created model object. This change makes it consistent as some calls would return the object, others would return the id but no other data.

    This changes return object from the promise on the following calls:

    • api.rules.createRule()
    • api.scenes.createScene()
    • api.sensors.createSensor()

  • Type system from the LightState definitions is now used in all Bridge Object Models to define the attributes/properties obtained from the Bridge.

    This provides a consistent validation mechanism to all bridge related attributes data. As part of this being used in the models, some validation is performed at the time of setting a value instead of waiting on when sending it to the hue bridge (some things still have to wait be sent to the bridge) so the validation is closer to the point of call.

  • Added ability to serialize a model object into JSON and then restore it to a corresponding object from the JSON payload. This was requested to aid in server/client side code situations, as the creation of the model objects are not directly exposed in the library by design. Related to issue #132

  • Creating Sensors (CLIP variety) has changed as the classes for the sensor objects are no longer directly accessible. All CLIPxxx sensors need to be built from the v3.model.createCLIP[xxx]Sensor() function for the desired type, e.g. v3.model.createCLIPGenericStatusSensor() for a CLIPGenericStatus sensor.

    The function call to instantiate the sensors also no longer take an object to set various attributes of the sensor, you need to call the approriate setter on the class now to set the attribute, e.g. sensor.manufacturername = 'node-hue-api-sensor';

  • TypeScript definitions added to the library

  • Adding more in-depth tests to further increase coverage around types and models, and adding more edge case API level tests
