Philips Hue
Control Philips Hue lights, rooms, zones and scenes through the CLIP API v2 — on/off, brightness, colour temperature and colour. Calls go to Hue's remote gateway by default; set a base URL to reach a bridge directly.
OCNORA ships 8 typed Philips Hue operations. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run. Endpoints not covered by a typed node are called at https://api.meethue.com/route through the HTTP node with the same credential.
Before you connect Philips Hue
- Authentication
- API key
- Credential
- {"api_key": "…"} (the bridge application key), plus "access_token" for Hue's remote gateway
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.

A sample Philips Hue workflow
- 1A core triggerStart the run from a chat, form, manual, schedule, webhook, workflow trigger — no Philips Hue trigger is needed.
- 2Get Lightphilips_hue.get_lightRead one light's full state by its v2 UUID.
- 3Recall Scenephilips_hue.recall_sceneApply a stored scene to the room or zone it belongs to.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.

Philips Hue questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Philips Hue?
- With a stored API key credential, shaped {"api_key": "…"} (the bridge application key), plus "access_token" for Hue's remote gateway. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Philips Hue?
- 8 typed operations, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Philips Hue operation I need is not listed?
- Call https://api.meethue.com/route from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Philips Hue?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Philips Hue calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
