# ha-bridge
Emulates Philips Hue api to other home automation gateways such as an Amazon Echo or Google Home. The Bridge handles basic commands such as "On", "Off" and "brightness" commands of the hue protocol. This bridge can control most devices that have a distinct API.
**SECURITY RISK: If you are unsure on how this software operates and what it exposes to your netowrk, please make sure you understand that it can allow root access to your sytem. It is best practice to not open this to the itnernet through your router as there are no security protocols in place to protect the system. The Licenese agreement states specifically that you use this at your own risk.**
**ATTENTION: This requires a physical Amazon Echo, Dot or Tap and does not work with prototype devices built using the Alexa Voice Service e.g. Amazon's Alexa AVS Sample App and Sam Machin's AlexaPi. The AVS version does not have any capability for Hue Bridge discovery!**
**NOTE: This software does require the user to have knwoledge on how processes run on Linux or Windows with java. Also, an understanding of networking basics will help as well. This system reveives upnp udp multicast packets from devices to be found, so that is some thing to understand. Please make sure you have all your devices use static IP addresses from your router. Most all questions have been answered already. PLEASE USE GOOGLE TO FIND YOUR ANSWERS!**
