intensity
and mode
you first have to change the mode and then set the intensity. Otherwise, the intensity is applied to the "old" mode. If you want to avoid ordering issues you can use the set_sync_state
service which will take care of the ordering and is more efficient than sending everything separately.The integration exposes some additional services.
For the parameter descriptions use the Services tab in the Home Assistant Developer tools and search for huesyncbox
in the services list.
Service name | Description |
---|---|
set_bridge | Set the bridge to be used by the Philips Hue Play HDMI Syncbox. |

The 2.0 version is a complete rewrite to allow for multiple entities and modernize the integration in general, however it is a big breaking change.
See the release notes for 2.0.0 for more details on the changes and migration.
