Library for controlling philips wifi HUE bulb

[Cor]

I'am looking for a library for controling the wifi HUE lamp from Philips

anyone have experience with this?

It doesn't require a library. You can use HttpUtils2 to communicate with it. The protocol is described here: 1. Lights API - Philips hue API

Hello

I try also to get my lights on with B4A

But i must place a PUT Methode

I want to sent this

{"on":true, "sat":255, "bri":255,"hue":100}

in the documentation I can't find only POST

My code in Vb.net looks like this:

how do it in b4a?


Dim lampstatus As String = "true"


Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
lampstatus = "true"
Else
lampstatus = "false"

End If

Dim result As String
Dim MyURL As String, postData As String
Dim winHttpReq As Object
winHttpReq = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
MyURL = "http://192.168.1.5/api/newdeveloper/lights/" & "1" & "/state"

postData = "{""on"": " & lampstatus & "}"
winHttpReq.Open("PUT", MyURL, False)
winHttpReq.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
winHttpReq.Send(postData)

result = winHttpReq.ResponseText
REM CheckBox1.Text = result
End Sub
