Is there a possibility to use an esp as a client?

probonopd commented 7 years ago

Possibly, if you write a Hue client for ESP... If you don't necessarily need the (bloated) Hue protocol, check out the https://github.com/sticilface/Melvanimate project which can do server and client on ESP.

Thanks, The problem is that I have lots of original hue lamps and also the bridge. Wanted to expand me with ESP now .. Thought you would have synonymous.

You can use home assistant that emulate a hue bridge and try to connect it to ESP8266HueEmulator i also have something similar but for the moment my hue bridge emulator work only with milight hub, ikea tradfri and ESP lights / sensors. I believe in about one week i will extend the support to control also hue bridge devices like in this project and they can be used as clients. In this mode SSDP service must be disabled somehow to not be automatically detected by the applications.
