support for rooms #1164

Open linuzer opened 4 years ago

linuzer commented 4 years ago

Thanks a lot for this really cool piece of software!

I'm aware of issue #817, where it states, that rooms are currently no supported.

Nevertheless, would it be possible to implement support for rooms in the near future? There are several reasons why I ask:

  1. I really would like to use the official Hue-App (iOS), since it has Siri support, as well as Apple Watch complications. I know there are other Hue-Apps, but I was not able to find a really working one for iOS.
  2. I integrated several non-hue lights into the ha-bridge (Homematic dimmer devices via FHEM and a ESP-controlled LED-strip) which I also would like to control with the Hue-App. Right now this is not possible, because the Hue-App does not work with the ha-bridge.

It is probably not necessary to implement the full Room-API, rather just create one default room that all lights belong to. Or there might be an easy-to-implement way to add some rooms manually via the config-file.

Would be really nice, if there would be some way...

This is #354

Well, IMHO #354 is not the same issue. I'm not asking for a workaround to get the Hue-App somehow working, I'm asking to implement basic support for at least 1 native room.
