Manage multiple Philips Hue bridges #98

Closed MiguelRipoll23 closed 7 years ago

MiguelRipoll23 commented 7 years ago

I see that the method LocateBridgesAsync returns strings. I'm not quite sure if the bridge has a static IP address but is there any way to know their MAC address or get some kind of id to differentiate which bulbs belong to each bridge?

Thanks.

The bridges doesnt have static IP, it can change. There is unique bridge id, so you can check that. Its called bridgeid.

More info here: https://developers.meethue.com/documentation/configuration-api 7.2

@freeubi this attribute only appears inside the RemoteHue class but it looks like it can be accessed locally, so I just need to do the HTTP request myself.

Thanks for the info!

There is a BridgeId in the BridgeConfig class. I think its available, but i cant check it right now :/

See PR #99 LocateBridgesAsync now returns a IP and a SerialNumber / BridgeId for each bridge
