The hueset function allows it to alter the state of Philips HUE devices. Use the huelamps function to see which device has which parameter available.
Note: All hue function use curl commands to communicate with the HUE bridge. Please make sure it is installed. Curl is available for all major operating systems.

Usage:
s = hueset(device,mode,'parameter',value)
Where:
| Parameter | Description |
s | Returns a response struct, which indicates if the request was successful or not. |
device | Specifies which HUE device is to be altered: – scalars refer to single devices – string or chars refer to device groups. Group 0 includes all devices. |
mode | Specifies if the device is to be turned ‘on’, ‘off’ or ‘toggle’. |
'parameter'& | Allows to change additional parameters if supported by the device, use huelamps to see all available options for each device: – 'bri' sets the brightness parameter, scalar: 0-254.– 'ct' sets the colour temperature, scalar: 2000-6500 K.– 'xy' sets the chromatic coordinates as in CIE 1931 x,y chromaticity within the – 'connection' : 'secure' (default) or 'allow-insecure'possible range (depends on version), 1×2 vector. The ‘xy’ parameter overwrites the ‘ct’ setting if both settings are specified. |
Examples
Switch device 6 on with full brightness and x = 0.3 and y = 0.4:
s = hueset(6,'on','bri',254,'xy',[0.3 0.4])
Result:
s =
1x3 struct array containing the fields:
success
Switch device 6 and 7 on, dimmed to 50% and ct = 3000 K:
s = hueset([6 7],'on','bri',127,'ct',3000)
Result:
s =
{
[1,1] =
1x3 struct array containing the fields:
success
[1,2] =
1x3 struct array containing the fields:
success
}
Switch all devices (group 0) off:
hueset('0','off')
Result:
s =
scalar structure containing the fields:
success =
scalar structure containing the fields:
/groups/0/action/on = 0
Switch group 4 off and set brightness to 50% for when it is turned on next time:
s = hueset('4','off','bri',127)
Result:
s =
1x2 struct array containing the fields:
success
Set group 4 and 7 on with 10% brightness:
hueset({'4','7'},'on','bri',25)
Result:
s =
{
[1,1] =
1x2 struct array containing the fields:
success
[1,2] =
1x2 struct array containing the fields:
success
}
