Philips HUE... HUE.... HUE....
« on: Fri, 28 November 2014, 23:07:26 »
Just picked up Philips HUE at Home Depot. Pretty badass, but expensive. The starter kit came with 3 60-watt equivalent bulbs but I'm going to need 2-3 more to properly light my bedroom (@ $60 ea).

I have it set up with my Android and I'm installing a Pebble app as well. Any other good hacks for HUE?

Hue is fun. My parents have it at their place as my Dad loves messing with technology. Kinda expensive for what it is, but fun if you have the cash.

I can picture the day where everything is controllable by your phone. Thermostat, lights, locks, its gonna be soon!  :thumb:

Soon? It's already here.

Lighting, locks, thermostat, sprinklers, alarm system, even your goddamned coffeemaker can be controlled via your phone.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I bought 2 more bulbs and my bedroom is more badass. I also started using the Android Hue Pro app, it's definitely superior to the official one. Using Huebble for Pebble, seems to work great.

Happy I bought HUE

Looks awesome!  I can't wait till I can control everything in my house with my phone at a price that is reasonable!  Technology is pretty amazing.  Can't wait to see what life is like in 50 years or so.
