Hey, I'm new here so this might be answered already but I couldn't find the response and I think this thread is quite related to the problem. So yeah, f.lux does set the appropriate warmness of the light, but I want to dim the lights additionally and the controller doesn't let you do that like you described.

@herf said in Flux turns blue into purple: @twocables It is possible to do much, much better. We have had prototypes and shaders to do this for many years. Some more is possible soon. Right, but maintaining perfect color accuracy while using a very warm color temperature like 2300K or lower seems to be something that will always be impossible. Sure, it should be possible to get reasonably good color accuracy for casual use, but not for professional use where color accuracy is absolutely critical.

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!

Yes, we're looking at a couple ways to do it. There might be a hacker mode where you run a daemon on your Mac that syncs with f.lux (and then you could move it to a home server or raspberry pi if you wanted). But we need to do better than "leave the mac on all the time" even though I know some people have a mac mini that does that - it isn't most people!

Hi Bigfan, I have the Hue lights and use them with f.lux. I use a windows desktop too and I didn't have my speakers plugged in when I first synced the hub. I just imagined it was like syncing anything else - once you press the button you've got anywhere from 60 to 30 seconds to pair the other device. So once I checked the box and clicked done in f.lux, I rushed over to my hub and pressed the button. It worked, but every now and then f.lux will not take over the system. A workaround is to check the box and click done again whenever it doesn't and that usually fixes it until it stops working again. So maybe try that.
