Overview of Philips Hue#

The Philips Hue API offers rich control over Philips Hue smart lighting systems. Via Pipedream, you can automate your lighting based on various triggers – think syncing lights with the sun's cycle, changing color to indicate new emails, or even integrating with motion sensors for a smart-home experience. With Pipedream's capabilities to connect to countless services, the possibilities of creating personalized lighting scenarios are vast, limited only by your imagination and the availability of triggers or events from other services and devices.

Connect Philips Hue#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    philips_hue: {
      type: "app",
      app: "philips_hue",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.meethue.com/v2/api/resource`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.philips_hue.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
