Philips Hue
Full Hue lighting control from Q-SYS
Comprehensive Philips Hue lighting control integration for Q-SYS. Manage rooms, zones, scenes, and individual lights with auto-discovery, HTTPS bridge communication, and rate limiting.
Complete Philips Hue lighting integration for Q-SYS, giving you full control over rooms, zones, scenes, and individual devices directly from your Q-SYS design. The plugin communicates locally with your Hue Bridge over HTTPS, so there is no cloud dependency and no internet required for day-to-day operation.
Automatic discovery handles the heavy lifting during setup. Once connected to a Hue Bridge, the plugin finds and organises all your rooms, zones, scenes, and devices into auto-updating dropdown lists. From there, you can control brightness, colour, white temperature, motion sensors, and smart plugs without leaving Q-SYS.
