[HUE] support of multisource luminaires #4505

Open Schnupper opened 6 years ago

Schnupper commented 6 years ago

I'm new in this git and not very experienced in programming :) But I was looking for a solution to support multisource luminaires of Philips Hue. As fare as I understand, the actual binding only support single light and lamp typs (light modules). But luminaires like the Beyond series have more than one light module. A Hue Beyond contains 2 independent light sources, an uplight and a downlight, with the uplight containing 1 light, and the downlight containg 3 lights. Hope anyone is interessted to take care about that? Some more info can be found here:

@Schnupper ESH is hosting the code for the Philips Hue binding but not many users of solutions like for example openHAB are reading the issues here. So maybe you are better off posting your request in the openHAB community forum. There might be some people which do have the hardware and knowledge to implement it.

FTR: A luminaire is represented as a group. Solving #2877 will close this feature request too.

Luminaire 1.4 Multisource luminaire group A lighting installation of default groupings of hue lights. The bridge will pre-install these groups for ease of use. This type cannot be created manually. Also, a light can only be in a maximum of one luminaire group. See multisource luminaires for more info.
