Bridge config
You can access a variety of bridge config values. Currently, all those values are read-only.
Get information
To access your bridge configuration you can use the getConfig method of your hue driver. The API is the same for both local and cloud:
php
// This returns an instance of the PhillipsHueConfig object.
$config = $hue->getConfig();
// Get the name of the bridge
$name = $config->getName();
// Get the used zig bee channel
$channel = $config->getZigBeeChannel();
// Get the model id of the bridge
$modelId = $config->getModelId();
// Get the current API version which runs on the bridge
$apiVersion = $config->getApiVersion();
// Check if the LINK button is currently pressed. Returns true
// if the button was pressed a short time ago
$linkButtonPressed = $config->isLinkButtonPressed();
// If you need any other config value, you can access the raw response
// from the hue api:
$rawData = $config->getRawData();Whitelist
By default, each authorized username / API token is stored in the whitelist of the bridge. You can access the whitelist and inspect each device that has access.
php
// This method returns a collection with all allowed devices.
$whitelist = $config->getWhitelist();
// You can now iterate through them:
foreach($whitelist as $device) {
echo $device->getName();
}Available methods on the whitelist
// Returns the name of the device
$name = $device->getName();
// Returns the ID of the device
$id = $device->getId();
// Returns a DateTime with the last use date and time
$lastUse = $device->getLastUseDate();
// Returns a DateTime with the creation date and time
$create = $device->getCreateDate();
