If you need help with diyHue you can get support from other users, aswell as the maintainer.
Please use GitHub, Slack or Discourse, other platforms are not checked by the maintainers.
Use Slack for a general chat or fast live support.
However: Since Slack is faster at providing live Support but not as good when it comes to save and show known Issues, we kindly ask you to open a Topic at our Discourse group. This will provide Help for others in the future.
Our Board might already have your fix and answer ready. Have a look!
General Note: Please provide some Logs to make it easier for all of us. Enable Debug by manually starting diyHue with additional
--debug trueargument.
Starting in Dec. 2020 we will introduce one Master and one Dev Branch. The Master will have the most stable code.
If you want to tinker and experiment you can try the dev Branch. Active development will take place here.
You want to get the latest features? Try the experimental Branch. Use at own Risk!
Please post on our Slack team any other device/application that you find to work with this emulator.
diyHue is Opensource and maintained by volunteers in their free time. You are welcome to contribute and become a recognised member of the diyHue community. Feel free to add PR and Commits to our Dev Branch. If you are experienced in

diyHue is and will be Free to use. However it does take a lot of time to maintain the code etc etc.
Long story short.... you can support us at Ko-Fi
