Now that we've seen a couple of posts showing how to query information about Hue lights via a Philips Hue bridge from Dynamo Studio, it's time for the really fun stuff: controlling lights from Dynamo. To make this happen some changes were needed to the zero-touch node that talks to the Philips Hue API on […]

In the last post we looked at some initial code to get basic information about the lights connected to a Philips Hue bridge. In this post we're going to extend the code to expose more information but also to query the bridge repeatedly, allowing the graph to display the latest light colours as they change. […]

I mentioned in a recent post that I was chewing on how design apps might connect with building automation systems to display data via lights. My first step along this path was to see how Dynamo Studio might connect into my home's Philips Hue bridge and get information about the "smart" lights it contains. To […]

A year ago I talked about my early forays into the world of home automation, mainly via Philips Hue. I'm now treating the "experiment" as a success, and have decided to invest in more lights (and another Hue bridge for our main home). While thinking about this, I decided to check on the availability of […]

If my calculations are correct, I'll be in Singapore during this year's Autodesk University in Las Vegas. It's the first I'll have missed for many years – and it's going to feel more than a little strange, when that week comes along – but this trip (and my family) will be taking precedence, for once. […]

OK, so that was perhaps a little mad. Earlier today I spent 5 hours on the train – going from Neuchatel to Zurich and then on the new SBB service via the Gotthard Base Tunnel – to get to Milan, had a coffee with my uncle (who lives and works nearby), gave a 30-minute presentation […]

I was asked recently by Bill Debevc to talk about Dasher 360 during an interview for the BIM Thoughts podcast series. It was certainly fun chatting about the project with Bill. I'm happy to see that the podcast is now live on the BIM Thoughts site. Enjoy!

Most of my team has been 100% focused on an event taking place in Toronto, this week, the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (or SimAUD). This is a really interesting conference for people working in our space: I'm looking forward to attending myself, at some point. As the only non-Toronto based member […]

We've been busy working on a number of interesting features for Dasher 360 over the last few weeks. The main focus – at least from my side – has been to extend the filtering capability to allow people to filter sensors based on type and their location in the model. Not only that, but the […]

Over the coming weeks I'll be sharing a number of guest posts by Autodesk colleagues working on a project that I think will be of interest to many of this blog's readers. The first post is by Alec Shuldiner, who is introducing the project. At Autodesk, we have a bridge. Recently, we gave that […]
