Nodes
Node names in the editor may depend on your language. The names below identify their role.
Hue Bridge configuration
Create the configuration from the Controller’s Hue Bridge selector. Discover the bridge or enter its IP, click CONNECT, then press the physical button on the bridge. Save and Deploy. You can reuse existing bridge credentials instead of pairing again. Several Controllers can share the same bridge.
HUE Controller
Select the Hue Bridge and resource, enable the pins and enter topics in the command/state fields. Only functions supported by the selected resource are available.
For example: map brightness command to living-room/brightness. Send msg.topic = "living-room/brightness" and msg.payload = 60. Map brightness state to a separate topic to receive feedback. A sensor only needs its state topic and output pin.
One node instance represents one selected resource. Add another Controller for another device or to use one instance with Node-RED messages and another in KNX mode.
Messages and values
On/off uses boolean true / false; brightness uses a number from 0 to 100. Color temperature uses Kelvin. State mappings publish the configured topic with the value in msg.payload. RAW events may also appear: filter by msg.topic when you only want mapped states.
KNX mode
You can also use this package with KNX Ultimate. The integration is native: install node-red-contrib-knx-ultimate and select its gateway to enable KNX mode. The same mapping fields then use group addresses and DPTs, with suggestions from the imported ETS project. Commands and feedback pass directly over the bus; no intermediate Function node is needed for these mappings.
