The problem is I can only select states on the devices. Is there a way to select events instead (I.e. “On”-button pressed).?
When using states, nothing is triggered with a regular button press. I have to hold the button down for ~1 second for it to change state. This is not intuitive.
The reason it works like that is because of the API hue exposes. If you want a better integration, I’d suggest to pair your hue hardware directly to the gateway with Zigbee.
Essentially, the hue adapter checks the state the API reports once a second or so, same for light bulbs etc. So it will not get an event but only the current and the last state and has to guess what happened based on that.
Ohh, I see, thanks.
Good Idea, I hadnt thought about that, just need to buy a zigbee adapter
