Hey Particle community,
I’m in the middle of a student project where I want to change the state of some Philip HUE lamps with our Particle Photon. I have some very basic understanding of coding and this project has proven difficult. I’m trying to adapt the code seen here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/control-philips-hue-lights-arduino-and-motion-sensor/
Since a lot of the code in that example is calling libraries that doesn’t exist on the Photon, I would be eternally grateful if someone could take the time to explain what I need to do to adapt it. We’re implementing the trigger to be a sound sensor, so the part that revolves around his motion sensor is abundant.
Here’s the code:
