Hue configuration Names

I have Home Assist setup and running, and it sees all my Hue bulbs and devices in the interface. When I goto edit and automate in the configuration file I don’t see any of the devices listed.

Where would I get the names assigned to these devices?

Under dev-tools click the <> symbol and there they are :slight_smile:

They will be listed as light.<something> the <something> comes from the names assigned in the HUE app.

Thank you both, that is the list I was looking for!

A followup, I also have a few sensors, not seeing these in the list. Is there a place for these names also?

And on the same note, have installed the instead hub local component, not seeing these either. Maybe there is a refresh type operation needed?

Assume this stuff is stored in the DB file, not seeing anything in the configuration.yaml file around devices.

They should be in the same list under sensor.whateveritscalled

Have been reading this today: Tutorial adding HUE Motion sensor (Lux,Temp and Motion)
lots of good info, but, when I paste in the result:

sensor:

  • platform: rest
    resource: http://192.168.7.138/api/[my API key omitted]/sensors/6
    value_template: ‘{{ value_json.state.presence }}’
    scan_interval: 2
    name: ‘Kitchen Motion Binary’

it won’t allow HAAS to startup. Nothing in the log either. Does this look right, the check config command reports all is OK.

Nope, sensors are not showing up in the list. Hue is saying they don’t export sensors from the bridge.

Hopefully someone that knows Hue will chime in as I’m not familiar with them :frowning:

So I sort of have this working so reporting for the next person. Turned out you can’t have 2 platforms in a sensor section, so I renamed it to sensor 2 and placed the text, reports like a champ. Looking forward to one day when this is user friendly.
