Hi,

Already love this plugin! Thanks!

Any chance to add the "Entertainment areas" in the API, so shortcuts can be used to set areas?

Thanks Ghita

Hi @Ghitafjorback, Can you explain what you want to do with the entertainment areas (I assume you mean those that are not controlled by a sync box)?

Hi Lukas

I would like to be able to make a shortcut that can set the entertainment area.

I have different entertainment areas in the HueSync and Hue App. One where only two lamps will sync (regular tv days), then I have a movie area where 7 lamps will sync my TV, and another area I will use when I sync music and so on.

The setting is called “entertainment area” in Hue settings.

I would like a shortcut that will set the entertainment area to my 7-lamp area, set the brightness to 100% and intense sync, and another shortcut that will set the entertainment area to the 2-lamp area, moderate sync and 70% brightness and so on...

Thanks Ghita

Hi @Ghitafjorback,

New version of the plugin is on master and published on NPM. You can now get the groupId of the current entertainment area with the API and you can also update the groupId of the entertainment area that should be used via API. Take a look at the README.
