What it does
Openhue is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Control Philips Hue lights via OpenHue CLI + Hue Bridge API
Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).
It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Backend & APIs work in your project
Example prompts
- “/openhue”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in YOUR_API_KEY
- A credential in HUE_API_KEY
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
wingetnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
HUE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Openhue loads about 876 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Philips Hue Smart Light Control
Control Philips Hue lights using the OpenHue CLI or the local Hue Bridge REST API. Works entirely on your local network — no cloud required.
When to Use
- User wants to turn lights on or off
- User wants to change light color or brightness
- User wants to activate a Hue scene
- User wants to list all lights and their current state
- User wants to set up automation rules for lights
How to Use
1. Install OpenHue CLI
# Install via winget
winget install openhue.cli
# Or via npm
npm install -g openhue-cli
# Verify
openhue --version2. First-time setup — discover and pair with Bridge
# Discover the Hue Bridge on your network
openhue discover
# Pair (press the button on the Bridge within 30 seconds, then run)
openhue pair --host 192.168.1.x # use IP from discover output
# Save credentials
openhue configure --host 192.168.1.x --api-key YOUR_API_KEY3. List all lights
openhue get lights4. Turn lights on and off
# Turn specific light on/off (by ID or name)
openhue set light "Living Room 1" --on true
openhue set light "Living Room 1" --on false
# Turn all lights off
openhue set lights --on false5. Change brightness and color
# Brightness 0-100
openhue set light "Desk Lamp" --brightness 70
# Set color by hue/saturation (hue 0-360, saturation 0-100)
openhue set light "Desk Lamp" --hue 240 --saturation 80 --brightness 80
# Set color temperature in Kelvin (2000K warm to 6500K cool)
openhue set light "Desk Lamp" --color-temp 30006. Activate a scene
# List available scenes
openhue get scenes
# Activate a scene in a room
openhue set scene "Relax" --room "Living Room"7. Use the Hue local REST API directly
$bridge = "192.168.1.x"
$apiKey = $env:HUE_API_KEY
$baseUrl = "https://$bridge/clip/v2"
$headers = @{ "hue-application-key" = $apiKey }
# List all lights
$lights = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/resource/light" -Headers $headers -SkipCertificateCheck).data
$lights | Select-Object id, @{N="name";E={$_.metadata.name}}, @{N="on";E={$_.on.on}}
# Turn a specific light on
$lightId = $lights[0].id
$body = @{ on = @{ on = $true } } | ConvertTo-Json
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$baseUrl/resource/light/$lightId" -Method Put -Headers $headers -Body $body -SkipCertificateCheckExamples
"Turn off all the lights in the bedroom"
→ Use step 4: openhue set lights --room "Bedroom" --on false
"Set my desk lamp to a cool blue for focus mode"
→ Use step 5: --hue 220 --saturation 90 --brightness 75 for a cool blue light.
"Activate the Movie scene in the living room"
→ Use step 6: openhue set scene "Movie" --room "Living Room".
Cautions
- The Hue Bridge must be on the same local network as the machine running Aiden
-SkipCertificateCheckis needed for direct API calls — the Bridge uses a self-signed certificate- OpenHue CLI stores credentials in
~/.openhue/— do not share this directory - Hue API v2 uses UUIDs for light IDs — use the list command to find IDs before automating
- Color temperature range varies by bulb model — not all bulbs support full 2000K-6500K range
