v0.11.0: Enhanced Colors & Scene Activation Detection

Added

• Scene Activation Detection: Hue Scheduler now temporarily disables turn-on event tracking for affected lights and groups when scenes are activated. This prevents it from taking over control when lights are turned on via scenes (#10).
  • A new --scene-activation-ignore-window command line option has been added to fine-tune this behavior, with a default value of 5 seconds.
  • To disable this behavior, you can either disable user modification tracking entirely (see --disable-user-modification-tracking) or set the force:true property on a state-by-state basis.
  • Limitations: When connected to Home Assistant, scenes turned on via the Hue bridge (e.g., via apps, smart switches, etc.) cannot be detected due to Home Assistant limitations. However, Hue-based scenes turned on via Home Assistant can still be detected.

Changed

• Color Accuracy: Enhanced algorithms for RGB to XY and XY to CT conversions.
• Color Comparison: Implemented similarity thresholds for detecting manual overrides in color and brightness, replacing exact matches.

Fixed

• Home Assistant: Resolved an issue with using effect:colorloop. More effects will be added in upcoming releases.

Removed

• Hue and Saturation: Removed support for setting hue and sat properties independently, as this feature was only available in Hue API v1.
