Physical Device Changes Lack Confirmation
The examples issue immediate state-changing commands for lights, rooms, and scenes without requiring user confirmation before execution.
The documented commands explicitly change physical lighting state, including room-wide power and scene settings.

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

What You Can Build

Adjust Everyday Lighting

Control a named lamp or room without opening the Hue application.

Prepare a Focused Workspace

Set office brightness and temperature for focused work sessions.

Activate Accessible Lighting

Use natural-language requests to control lights when manual switches are difficult to reach.

Try These Prompts

List Hue Resources 
List all Hue lights, rooms, and scenes available through OpenHue. Do not change any device.
Set One Light 
Turn on [light name] and set its brightness to [percentage]. Confirm the target and setting before execution.
Activate a Room Scene 
Activate the [scene name] scene in [room name]. Verify that both resources exist and ask for confirmation before execution.
Coordinate Multiple Rooms 
Inspect available resources, then propose settings for [rooms] based on [activity]. Show every planned change and execute only after confirmation.

Best Practices

  • List resources first when device, room, or scene names are uncertain.
  • Confirm room-wide and multi-device changes before execution.
  • Use brightness, temperature, and color values supported by the target bulbs.

Avoid

  • Do not guess light, room, or scene names.
  • Do not use this skill for devices outside the Philips Hue ecosystem.
  • Do not repeatedly retry commands when the bridge is unreachable or pairing is incomplete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What must be installed before using this skill?
Install the OpenHue CLI and ensure the Hue Bridge is reachable on the local network.
Does first-time setup require physical access?
Yes. Initial pairing requires pressing the button on the Hue Bridge.
Can it control an entire room?
Yes. It can change room power and brightness through OpenHue.
Can it activate saved Hue scenes?
Yes. Provide the scene name and its target room.
Can every Hue bulb display colors?
No. Color commands require a color-capable bulb, while white-only bulbs support fewer settings.
Does it support other smart-home brands?
No. The skill is limited to resources exposed through a Philips Hue Bridge.
