Hi - I just dipped my toes into the whole Hue color changing bulb arena. I found the Color Annimation built in app and that works great. I was able to build an example that runs thru red, white, blue, black just fine.
I have a Hue bulb in the cupola on my house and wanted to make the bulb to go red-white-blue-off for the Fourth of July (a few weeks ago) and could not figure out how to turn the automation on at sunset and then off at midnight. Everything I found says I can't call one app from another, so how can I automate the on-off processes for this? Once I get that working, I'm planning on having various color patterns for things like Easter (pink, purple, white) and Christmas (red, green).
Just create two simple rules in Rule Machine to turn on and off the Color Animation app you created:
Rule 1:
Trigger on Sunset (Location Event, Sunset)
Action:
Turn on the activator device switch that is created when you built your color animation child app.
Rule 2:
Trigger on time midnight (Time of Day, certain time)
Action:
Turn off the activator device switch that was created when you built your color animation child app.
