Closed the last topic as it had gotten really lengthy. Opening this one for more questions

Thanks Bren for your previous responses; looking forward to any IFTTT or SmartThings development to keep these bulbs alive into the future ...

Hi Bren,

Happy New Year!

Just curious if you have any thing in the works for IFTTT or SmartThings? Ultimately I'd love to get Google Home to control these bulbs.

Regards,
Merrick

Hey @merrickw - nothing yet. Smart things requires me to have the Samsung Bridge which I dont have. I did look into the IFTTT. They have an applet for 'Connect Greenwave Systems' which of course doesnt work since it's tied to the Greenwave servers they took down... So I have 'applied' to be a maker:

Which is still labelled as 'coming soon'. I mean all we really need is an applet which allows http requests, so it shouldn't be hard, but its likely harder than what IFTTT wants for the average user...

I have been re-writing some of the code, so I can support more than one bridge at a time and control HUE lights too (inc colour). It's not really ready for prime time... Needs some polish, but if you want to experiment it is in the non master branch.

Cheers

Thanks for the update. The IFTTT sounds the most interesting, but I guess it can only work if you have your local web server running... which makes sense, you wouldn't want the cloud turning off your lights, with all the hacking going on .... I haven't bought any Hue lights yet ... my TCP's got me covered ...

Now that the Greenwave link got sacked, the clock resides in my TCP gateway is drifting away every single day. So over last 6 months or so, mine is now like 20-30 minutes ahead. Sunrise/sunset schedule would be way off also.

So, quick questions: Is there a way to correct the clock in gateway via some UI on local web server? Or better yet, get the clock to sync with local web server automatically/periodically?

Count this as a feature request. :)

Oh BTW, I was talking about the clock inside the gateway. I understand that the scheduler on local web server would trigger just fine.

And, great work Bren! I'm excited!!

@k8gg Hey there - I'm guessing you're looking at the regular branch versus dev? I'll look into time setting. I'm fairly certain it will be possible. Stay tuned...

[k8gg]

Yes, branch.
Great work you've got so far! Also the IFTTT idea sounds awesome. :)

[bren1818]

@k8gg - Done - pull master, should have 3 updates, index.php, setDateTime.php and a JS file. I have made the new screen to set date and time. I kinda whipped it together... so hope it works. Pretty simple. There appears to be functions to set time zone too, but this should do the trick... I don't use the built in Bridge functions so please let me know. Thanks!

This date tweak worked awesome for me thanks so much

[bren1818]

@sktaylortrash - Awesome glad to hear it. I just need to find some time to finish the build I have in progress in Dev which has Hue integration and hooks for multiple bridges. Not enough hours in a day :)

[k8gg]

Yup. The date/time update interface worked. Thanks a lot @bren1818 !

[sktaylortrash]

@bren1818 forgive my asking but what would the use case for multiple bridges be?

[k8gg]

My guess: to have one single web UI that would control not only TCP bulbs but also Hue or wemo or even zwave bulbs... Yes?

Oh I get multiple brands I meant multiple TCP bridges
