This thread is to discuss development of an official Hue sensors component, to replace the custom component in this thread . Development will continue the work started by @marthocoo here . Unlike the current custom component (which is a glorified rest sensor) the official component will use asyncio . I…

This is a great idea. How do we get started? I’m new to HA but willing to try to help.

I will create and maintain a fork which others can PR to. When we need beta testers I’l make a shout here. In the meantime learn asyncio :slight_smile:

I am here for a beta test, too :wink: I have 5x motion sensor and 3x remote…

I’m also open for testing.just one thing. Could you please integrate a function which resets the last button press. For example if u push on button one time and u need to push on button a second time (due to certain circumstances like automations) u first would have to push another button on the rem…

Update: been busy with data science portal. Official Hue sensor support in 2019.

I am not much of a programmer, but if you have a beta version you want testing, I am all for it. In my hue collection I currently have 3 “motion” sensors, half a dozen dimmer switches and a Tap (the one that doesnt use batteries) along with 12 globes and a couple of hue go lamps. :slight_smile: L…

@thundergreen The “custom” component recognises both pressed and “up” state for the Hue Dimmer Switch. Example: if button 2 is pressed it will change to “2_click” when it is released it will change to “2_click_up” You can’t do that with the Hue Tap though as it uses kinetic energy generation so …

I’d be down for helping out with any development being a python developer and owning a lot of hue products.
