Nuts, bolts and screws needed:

• M3 x 8mm (for assembling the panels and attaching PCB)

Wiring Diagram:

Wiring using an Adafruit Perma-proto half size board (PCB alternative):

I showed a piece of perforated board in the main project video but after further consideration have described how to use a piece of Adafruits Perma-proto board. This small change makes the wiring much simpler and greatly reduces the amount of soldering required.

Integration with Philips Hue's smart lighting system is a little more involved than the Alexa integration shown above. To integrate with Hue we will have the project poll the Hue Bridge regularly and ask it about the status of one of your existing lights. The Geoleaf project will then try to replicate the settings of this build as closely as it can. For example, my Geoleaf panels are in my office and I have t follow the brightness of my ceiling light bulb. This way it switches on and off when I enter and leaf my home office space.

Here is some documentation provided on the official Wiki for WLED: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/Philips-hue-sync

and here is some documentation from Philips Hue on interacting with your Hue bridge to find bulb IDs which you need to enter int the WLED app: https://developers.meethue.com/develop/get-started-2/. Both of these resources might help you with this integration but here is a super concise run through of what is required:



1. Find the IP address of your Hue bridge by either clicking here(if you're on the same network at the moment) or by opening the Hue app, go to the settings menu, go to Hue Bridges, select your bridge and note its IP address.
2. In a web browser navigate to: https://<bridge ip address>/debug/clip.html (ensuring you substitute your IP address). This will open the 'CLIP API Debugger' of your Hue Bridge.
3. To be able to ask for more sensitive information about your Hue system you need to ask for a username to prove who we are. Do this by entering the following into the fields of the API Debugger:
   URL = /api
   Message Body = {"devicetype":"my_hue_app#geoleaf"}
   And then press the 'POST' button. This should return an error saying 'link button not pressed'. This is a security step to ensure you should be allowed access to your Hue data. Press the physical button on top of your Hue Bridge and then press 'POST' again.
   This time it will generate unique username for you. Note this down - it will be a long string of letters and numbers.
4. This time enter the following information into the fields:
   URL = /api/YOUR-UNIQUE-USERNAME
   And press the 'GET' button. This will return all the information about your Hue system.
5. This information can then be copied from the results and pasted into a JSON viewer such as http://jsonviewer.stack.hu. From here you can find the bulb you would like to mimic, take note of its ID and enter this into WLED.
