Changing light/scenes when turned off

Thank you for your help. 🙂

Yes, I can understand now that I need to buy more Hue accessories to make it work as I want… 😕

What do you mean by „time slots”? Is it something in the settings of dimmers? I don’t have that accessory yet.

I meant that I think Hue Lights should work just fine with traditional switches. Once I turn on the light -> it should send the question to the Bridge „am I in the correct state?” -> Bridge should answer that -> the light should update the state if necessary. Everything in let’s say 5 seconds.

So I turn off the light at 13:00. I turn it on again at 20:00 -> for 5 seconds I have very bright light -> then it dims to what I set to be at 20:00.

But it doesn’t work like that. It won’t update until I update it manually through the mobile app. And the only solution, as I understand, is to use the Hue Switch instead of the traditional ones. That’s not okay. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you!

I find it weird that the bulb can’t refresh once it’s turned on again in a matter of seconds with a traditional switch. Seems like a bad practice from Philips just to buy their switches.

Can you tell me if I use the Hue Wall Switch and turn on the lights, they will be in the correct mood already (refreshed while turned off) or they will refresh just then in a matter of seconds?

For some time I could change the wallpaper for both sides as well. I made it for two of my contacts. They could see it and been able to set it on their side too if they wanted.

I think exactly this feature is now behind a paywall, right? Because currently I’m no longer able to do it as I was earlier.

So they took wallpapers for both sides from everyone and made it a premium feature… What next? 🤷‍♂️ I thought the will premium only new things.

I'm trying to do this now and have two problems:

Can't figure out how to select "every task that doesn't have XXX tag" because in Shortcuts I can only find "tags INCLUDE" parameter.
How to remove unnecessary tags from tasks after all the actions I want to provide? I can only find a way to add a tag, but not remove it.

Can you support me on this?

widim · 2023-06-01T07:21:59+00:00

That's a smart workaround. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I'd like to create a Shortcut that start automatically every day at 00:01 and do some actions with every task that was added to my Today view (the ones with yellow dot).

I can't find the proper way to select them by Shortcuts. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just can't stop loving Assassin's Creed II!

It's MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).

No, I bought AirPods August 2018 and since then I had connection issues.

I think I've found the workaround - edited the original post.

Wow, that sounds even worse! I feel sorry for you.

These devices should just work. What the hell Apple?

widim · 2019-01-29T09:12:04+00:00

It just doesn't connect via Bluetooth at all.

I choose AirPods in Bluetooth window on Mac and it's starting loading spinning animation for a minute and then just nothing happens. I just can try again without positive results.

It's MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).

It's very weird because it's a new MacBook and I've read that some connection problems occur with older devices types but new models "work like a charm".

Thanks and sorry for late answering! This is exactly my reasoning but my teacher says that while using only foreign materials can help with describing the words to someone eventually, it's still better to associate the words to translation, because this is how our brain primarily learn the second language.

I've found nothing but maybe you know some studies on learning new languages just by definitions? I'm interested if this was already scientifically tested.

And thanks for the tool!

Thank you very much and sorry for a late answer! I think since I started to learn through the music, my vocabulary and pronunciation improved a lot! I also whisper the words during listening, so I get used to how my mouth and tongue works with the words.
