Usage Guidelines

• Use room-level commands when the user refers to a space, not a specific bulb
• Brightness is 0–100; color-temp ranges roughly 153 (cool) to 500 (warm)
• List lights/rooms first if unsure of exact names

Notes

• Requires openhue configured with your Hue Bridge IP and API key
• Bridge must be on the same local network
