HueBridge Input Plugin

This plugin gathers status from Hue Bridge devices using the CLIP API interface of the devices.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.34.0 Tags: iot OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Gather smart home status from Hue Bridge
[[inputs.huebridge]]
  ## URL of bridges to query in the form <scheme>://<bridge id>:<user name>@<address>/
  ## See documentation for available schemes.
  bridges = [ "address://<bridge id>:<user name>@<bridge hostname or address>/" ]
  
  ## Manual device to room assignments to apply during status evaluation.
  ## E.g. for motion sensors which are reported without a room assignment.
  # room_assignments = { "Motion sensor 1" = "Living room", "Motion sensor 2" = "Corridor" }
  
  ## Timeout for gathering information
  # timeout = "10s"
  
  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  # tls_key_pwd = "secret"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

Extended bridge access options

The Hue bridges to query can be defined by URLs of the following form:

  <locator scheme>://<bridge id>:<user name>@<locator dependent address>/

where the bridge id is the unique bridge id as returned in

curl -k https://<address>/api/config/0

and the user name is the secret user name returned during application authentication.

To create a new user name issue the following command after pressing the bridge’s link button:

  curl -k -X POST http://<bridge address>/api \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"devicetype":"huebridge-telegraf-plugin"}'

The scheme can have one of the following values and will also determine the structure of the address part.

address scheme

Addresses a local bridge with address being the DNS name or IP address of the bridge, e.g.

address://0123456789ABCDEF:sFlEGnMAFXO6RtZV17aViNUB95G2uXWw64texDzD@mybridge/

cloud scheme

With this scheme the plugin discovers a bridge via its cloud registration. The address part defines the discovery endpoint to use. If not specified otherwise, the standard discovery endpoint is used, e.g.

cloud://0123456789ABCDEF:sFlEGnMAFXO6RtZV17aViNUB95G2uXWw64texDzD@/

mdns scheme

This scheme uses mDNS to discover the bridge. Leave the address part unset for this scheme like

mdns://0123456789ABCDEF:sFlEGnMAFXO6RtZV17aViNUB95G2uXWw64texDzD@/

remote scheme

This scheme accesses the bridge via the Cloud Remote API. The address part defines the cloud API endpoint defaulting to the standard API endpoint.

remote://0123456789ABCDEF:sFlEGnMAFXO6RtZV17aViNUB95G2uXWw64texDzD@/

In order to use this method a Hue Developer Account is required, a Remote App must be registered and the corresponding Authorization flow must be completed. See the Cloud2Cloud Getting Started documentation for full details.

Additionally, the remote_client_id, remote_client_secret, and remote_callback_url parameters must be set in the plugin configuration exactly as used during the App registration.

Furthermore the remote_token_dir parameter must point to the directory containing the persisted token.
