This adapter uses Sentry libraries to automatically report exceptions and code errors to the developers. For more details and for information how to disable the error reporting see Sentry-Plugin Documentation! Sentry reporting is used starting with js-controller 3.0.

The Philips Hue Sync Box is a device that allows you to synchronize the colors and lighting effects of your Philips Hue lights with the screen of your computer screen. This is possible by the Sync Box detecting the colors and light effects of your screen and transmitting them to your Philips Hue luminaires.

The adapter polls the Philips Hue Sync Box API every 15 seconds and updates the data points accordingly. There are some data points that can change the settings of the Sync Box (e.g. the sync on/off switch, switch the HDMI inputs, etc.). Any change to the data points is immediately sent to the Philips Hue Sync Box and triggers an update of the data points. Multiple Philips Hue Sync boxes can be created at the same time.

• Philips Hue Sync Box IP address (IPv4 only)
• Hue Sync Box token (see below)

1. Open the adapter configuration and click on the button "Add box".

2. enter a name for the box, the name must be only 1x because it will be used as ID.

3. Enter the IP address of the box. (IPv4 only) (small hint: when entering the IP address, a dot will be inserted automatically at every 3rd number)

2. a new window opens with 2 options select the option you want to use. If none of the options is selected, the box will only be deleted from config. (see below)
   • deregister from the box - the box will be deleted from the adapter and the token will be deleted from the box
   • delete object - the box will be deleted from the adapter and the objects will be deleted from the ioBroker

you can also select both options at the same time then the box is deleted from the adapter and the objects are deleted from the ioBroker and the token is deleted from the box.
