Features

Built for power, control, and security

Every feature in HomeFlowHub is designed with intention—no bloat, just what you need for reliable smart home control.

Battery-smart operation

Light sleep, adaptive refresh, and predictive power modes. The power manager intelligently transitions between active, dim, and sleep states based on usage patterns.

Power States
ActiveFull brightness, 80MHz
DimReduced brightness, 40MHz

Philips Hue integration

Discover, group, and trigger scenes in a tap. HomeFlowHub automatically finds your Hue bridge and presents all lights and scenes in an intuitive interface.

Example: Trigger a scene

{
  "action": "trigger_scene",
  "scene_id": "bedroom_relax",
  "transition_time": 400
}

  "value3": "minutes"
}
