Philips introduces HueSDK #124

Closed niels9001 closed 6 years ago

niels9001 commented 6 years ago

Philips introduced the HueSDK with a Windows version as well (it is however a DLL wrapped around a JAR it seems), and only working on 86/64.. Looks pretty legacy to me.

Anything we could learn from it? (Like the multi-Bridge approach)?

I had a quick look at it, but it looks like it's a Java SDK that also works with Java Desktop apps. It's not a .Net SDK.

I didn't see anything about the multi Bridge support, can you point a link to that?
