I created this flow (which is analogous to a Hubitat Rule Machine rule) in Node-RED.
The steps to use this are:
- If you want to control the key lights when your home computer is off, then buy a raspberry Pi and set it up on your local network. Else skip this step
- Install Node-RED on the Pi (or on your home computer if you don’t need 24/7 control)
- Add the built-in Maker API app on your Hubitat
- Add the Hubitat palette to Node-RED
- Copy my flow (link above) and import it to Node-RED
- Follow the instructions on my flow summary to set up the light and connect it to Hubitat
Yes. Add the Amazon Echo skill (built-in HE app) to your Hubitat. Share to Alexa the virtual color bulb you created in step 6 above. You can then control on/off, brightness and color temperature with your voice.
Let me know how you get on or if you have further questions.
