This support article will show you how you can use developer mode (Thingsplex) to install Philips Hue adapter in order to directly interact with devices on a Philips Hue Bridge. After connecting the Philips Hue bridge you will be able to interact with Philips Hue compatible devices both from the Philips Hue app and Futurehome app. 

Supported functionality:
  • Lights
  • Remotes
  • Motion sensor

Installing Philips Hue Adapter

  • Go to site settings
  • Activate Beta app store
  • Go to setting-App store
  • Install Philips Hue adapter

When Philips Hue is downloaded you can use Thingsplex developer mode to configure the adapter.

How to connect

  1. Go to Systems config screen to configure adapter.
  2. Select hue in a list of discovered resources
  3. Press Get connection parameters the system should find the bridge or multiple bridges and show response
  4. If you only have one Philips Hue bridge the next step is to press theLinkbutton on the Philips hue bridge . *If you have multiple Philips Hue bridges see clarification below. 
  5. Press connect button in Thingsplex.

Your Philips Hue devices should now be synced and show up in the bottom of all devices under settings in the app.  The devices will also be listed under Generic adapter view in Thingsplex (you have to select adapter in dropdown view)

If making changes to your Hue system like adding devices etc then go to Systems, select Hue and hit Synchronize

Deleting devices in the app:

The Philips hue adapter will show all "devices" in the Futurehome app. Some of these devices are Philips Hue Scenes and similar. These devices should be left without a name and not be assigned to a room in the app. Still if you want to force delete them from the application to completely hide them from setup then we need to send a false exclusion report in order to remove them from the app. 

Also when Philips hue adapter is removed the devices will not automatically be removed so they need to be manually excluded from the system.

  • Go to the device during setup
  • Choose Advanced
  • Find the name of the "adapter" and the name "address" of the device
  • Open thingsplex in a web browser
  • Go to register
  • Select Admin
  • Enter the adapter name and address of the device you want to remove and press send.

Repeat the process where each device will be removed one by one from the App.
