I noticed the following: krtek:~ steven$ hue lights 1,2,3,4 -99 light 1 brightness 104 -> 5 light 2 brightness 104 -> 5 light 3 brightness 104 -> 5 light 4 brightness 104 -> 5

krtek:~ steven$ hue lights 1,2,3,4 00FF99 light 1 success light 2 success light 3 success light 4 success

krtek:~ steven$ hue lights 1,2,3,4 -99 light 1 brightness 254 -> 155 light 2 brightness 254 -> 155 light 3 brightness 254 -> 155 light 4 brightness 254 -> 155

Notice how after changing the color then the brightness they we're back at 254.

What are you using to set the light values, your own code, or some command line utility?

I will take a look at the code tonight to see if I can reproduce it on my hue bridge.

peter-murray commented 10 years ago

I suspect that it may be coming from a call to hsl value in the light state, but without knowing, exactly what your command hue lights 1,2,3,4 00FF99 does I cannot be sure.

Can you please provide me more details on what that code is calling, or where I can view that code, as that is not part of this library.

Thanks

Hey, it actually comes from this project https://github.com/bahamas10/hue-cli not sure if they're related, perhaps user error on my part. Sorry!

That cli client uses another library called hue.js to interact with the hue bridge, not this one.
