Info: Rumors speak API now supports Push

FYI: https://www.gearxnews.com/2021/07/13/new-philips-hue-api-works-via-push/

Not sure how valid these information are. But if it's the case, I guess many third party developers will be happy over this change and would like to see this supported in the node-hue-api.

I am still yet to discover the actual endpoints that this is based off of... I had a look at the Home Assistant integration and could not manage to find the actual endpoints (as these are not documented by Signify).

Once I can work it out, will definitely be looking to add it.

I did some research on this.
You can find the endpoints they are using here, for more details and how to connect to this endpoint using node got library check this.

Thanks, I was aware of that and will be looking to start building on top of this over the festive period, it is a pretty radical change to the APIs and it is still undergoing changes, so it is not finalised.

Hi there! First of all, thank you so much for your library. I love it. Do you have an update on this? Integration with the push function in your library would be incredibly useful!

The new APIs are still changing and in flux, it is a fairly large change and I am working through the details as to how I can better support the changes of these new APIs.

I just switched from IKEA Tradfri to Philips Hue. From the Tradfri-Gateway I was used to have instant state updates pushed into ioBroker, so I was shocked to find out that Hue cannot do this and just polls states every x seconds. Currently using Pmant's Push-API script as workaround, but looking forward to full support for this.

Script just stops working after some time without further notice, not reliable. Sorry about that.

Hi @peter-murray, I hope you are doing well. Can you tell if this will be worked on from your side in the near future?
