George Yianni, a Hue system architect, said there are already about 10 applications out in the wild that have been built and shared from unofficial developers.

For example, you could have a series of lights turn on a certain color when you adjust the thermostat or trigger lights to automatically come on when you open the front door.Īmateur developers have already come up with a number of nifty applications to control the lighting system.

The program comes as a result of customer feedback requesting the ability to program the system and includes open APIs, an SDK for iOS programmers and even guides to familiarize programmers with the hardware and software.Ī post on Philips' developers page says they are starting off by releasing core parts of their bridge interface along with easy-to-follow examples of how to use them. Philips has launched a developer program for their Hue lighting system.
