Description

hue meets beacon: Use Bluetooth LE beacons toswitch your Philips hue lights

Without hue functionality app just shows the user which room heentered.

The hue functionality is only for experienced hue users, sinceit utilizes hue sensors and rules which have to be definedexternally.

Given rules and sensors are set up, only 6 steps are needed:

1) Define rooms (+ icon and swipe to delete) and associate themto sensors and sensor values
2) Scan beacons (Bluetooth icon) you want to use
3) Adjust the min Rssi below which a beacon shouldn't be consideredanymore.
This is for fine tuning, in case the beacon signal can be readoutside the defined room.
4) Associate beacons to rooms (click on list item when notscanning)
5) Register app (bridge icon) at the bridge and enable hue inpreferences
6) Press start (play icon)

hue sensor type used: CLIPGenericStatus

In debug mode a log is shown on the screen.

Refresh icon reloades hue bridge IP.

Permissions:

BLUETOOTH: Necessary for scanning for BT devices
INTERNET: Necessary for contacting hue bridge und upnp for gettinghue bridge IP
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Necessary when option start scanning onboot is used
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Necessary to be able to receive beaconaddress
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Necessary to get informed when home wifi networkis in reach
CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Necessary to be able to scan for wifi networksin preferences dialog

Location Service must have been turned on in Settings/Locationin order to be able to scan BT devices.

In order to optimize battery usage two features areimplemented:
1) A home wifi network can be selected. Only when connected to thiswifi hueSwitchBeacon scans for beacons
2) Sensors are used (step or gravity) to recognize that phone moved/ is stationary. If phone is stationary

scan is stopped temporarily until movement is recognizedagain.

The scan can always be stopped by opening the app and pushingstop button on beacon page.

hueSwitch Beacon is tested on Nexus 4 (Lollipop) and Nexus 5X(Marshmallow).
It should work on 4.3 devices as well, but this is not tested(feedback appreciated)
