  The easiest way right now is to toggle the Hue setting in Options - f.lux won't forget credentials so it is easy to turn back on. We could move this up somewhere to the Hue menu so you can get to it easier. Regarding why disable isn't linked: We think of this as a "home controller" and not a "light near my computer" controller. If you have 20 hue lights and you alt-tab to Photoshop it is too much if your whole house goes to daylight...

  There is a sort of "prototyping" API from Windows -> HTTP, and from there you can control a light strip. Check the Options menu and fill in the LAN API URL there. We're also working on a version of this that will work when the PC is offline, which is somewhat more complicated and has more features.

  We can guess the chromaticities pretty well, but what is hard to guess is the illuminance of each type. Do you have any kind of light meter you could use to do this?

  Another vote in support of Lifx coordination. My family loves the app on our devices but we have to change Lifx lights with the app or via Google Home to match manually. -- Yes basically the same as dasneal, (stolen from him.)

  its pretty hacky but it works for me (i tried it on xampp for windows but its currently running on a ubuntu apache + php 7) you will need to fine tune the variables to the maximum values that your light will support or you can send the raw values from flux to mqtt and handle it from homeassistant or whatever it is you are using... and you need the phpMQTT library download linky sensor setup for homeassistant sensor: platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Status' value_template: '{{ value_json.fluxstate }}' platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Color Temperature' value_template: '{{ value_json.colortemp | round(0) }}' platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Brightness' value_template: '{{ value_json.brightness | round(0) }}' platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Timestamp' value_template: '{{ value_json.timestamp | timestamp_local }} input_boolean: enable_flux: name: Change Light to Flux Data initial: on

  Hmmm, it appears I may have spoken too soon... Daytime seemed fine, but now that it's getting into the evening I see that the brightness is decreasing alongside colour temp :-| Still better than before, but I'll definitely be hopping on the newest version as soon as it's available! I bought the Hue lights because I just discovered f.lux (yeah, i'm a bit behind the times) and saw it had this ability; can't wait for it to be fully functional :) Cheers, and thanks for creating this software! Dan @alteramaxplus said: @aeonflux Did you make sure to completely exit flux before updating the registry? I made that mistake a couple times and found that flux kept overwriting the default values if it was open in the tasktray. What I did was: Menu->Exit f.lux run .reg, re-opened f.lux and my Hue lights are working fine now!

  Thanks for the link. If you have Philips Hue, f.lux has controlled those for years. We'll post instructions and more info soon.

  There is a nice preset on the Mac called "far from the equator" that should do almost exactly this. Set your wake time and pick that one and you'll be ok.

  @herf I think I might have done a bad job explaining myself. I was asking if it was possible for you guys or maybe someone from the community to create a modified version of the Philips hue firmware where f.lux software would intervene when the user requests a blank white value. That way, f.lux software wouldn't fight for priority with other home automation services.
