Controlling Philips Hue with DMX via QLC+

Should work on Windows, Linux and MacOS. I've only tested Windows so far.

Pre-requisites

  • NodeJS.
  • Philips Hue Bridge.
  • One or more Philips Hue products connected to the Hue Bridge.
  • Your computer should be running on the same network as your Hue devices.
  • Your firewall should allow connections between these devices on the local network. This is probably not something you have to change unless you've fiddled around with it manually before-hand.

Setup

  1. Install QLC+. Download here so you can send signals to an ArtNet address.
  2. Install the dmx-hue ArtNet server that translates DMX signals into Hue commands:
npm install -g dmx-hue

For more info, see the excellently documented repository here.

  1. Press the button on your Hue Bridge to accept new incoming authentication request from your dmx-hue server.
  2. Set up the dmx-hue connection to your Hue environment by running:
dmx-hue setup

Just leave everything by default unless you know what you're doing.

Usage
