How does it work?
Create a colorful experience in the office whenever someone triggers a notification.
With this notification action, you can change the color of your Philips Hue or flash the light in a different color when the notification triggers. 💡🎉
Step 1: Set up your Philips Hue
First, you need to set up your Philips Hue Bridge and lights. For more help, follow the instructions described here: How to set up a starter kit.
If you already have connected your lights, jump to Step 2.
Step 2: Configure your notification in Plecto
Go to Gamification > Notifications and create new or open an existing notification.
Add Flash Philips Hue as the notification action.
Click + to add your credentials. Log in to your Hue account and allow Plecto to access your controls.
Select how you want the light to flash:
Alarm – the light will blink based on the repeat times and color you choose.
Change color – your Hue will change to a color you choose.
Select your Hue device.
Click Save to finish.
Known Philips Hue limitations
Bulb assumes the alarm color after blinking: After the alarm notification goes off, some Philips Hue lightbulbs don't return to the original color, but assume the color of the alarm light. There are many different Philips Hue lamps, and some (mostly 1st generation) might not have the same compatibility as their later versions.
