Hue API Compatibility

Erik Baauw edited this page Apr 15, 2017 · 15 revisions

These pages document the differences between the deCONZ REST API, v2_04_40 beta, and the Philips Hue API, v1.17.0. Ultimately, we would like Philips Hue applications (like my Homebridge plugin) to work unaltered with deCONZ.

Section Resource Conclusion
Bridge Discovery Incompatible.
Lights /lights Largely compatible from an API perspective. Handling of colours is different.
Groups /groups Incompatible.
Schedules /schedules t.b.d.
Scenes /scenes Incompatible, but not used by homebridge-hue.
Sensors /sensors t.b.d.
Rules /rules t.b.d.
Configuration /config Incompatible - deCONZ doesn't provide an unauthenticated GET /api/config (vs. GET /api/<username>/config).
Info Deprecated.
Resourcelinks /resourcelinks Not used by homebridge-hue.
Capabilities /capabilities Not used by homebridge-hue.
