I'm not able to retrieve the hue bulb name list.
It seems like everything else configured...
EDIT: I didn't realize I needed to go to the Plugins menu and "Reload Bulb List"
It's working!!!!

Do I remove that dimmer and simply control the individual bulbs? How do I brighten and dim all three track heads at the same time?
kennybroh wrote:Yeah, I discovered that. So, if the bulbs respond to dim and bright commands from Indigo, why couldn't you link the dimmer switch as a controller to the bulb device, and use the switch to send dim and brightness commands to the device instead of a line level direct control? If I link a controller to a device aren't the commands sent by the controller to the device the same as from a control page or device control?
kennybroh wrote:If that worked, the next question is how to control multiple bulbs, say on a track light, with one device or controller? Can I link a dimmer to multiple devices and control them all together? If so I'd just make a dimmer switch the controller for all three.
Would any of that work?

One thing that would help a lot (and maybe it's somewhere in the plugin that I've missed) is a function to return the RGB value of a current bulb so I could set a color i like with the Hue app and create an action with the right value.
Also a useful action for the plugin would be a fade from one value to another over a specified time period.
