SMART HOME ·
Use a fader for brightness and a button for a favourite scene. Your Android deck can give you direct access to lighting controls at your desk.
TouchAsst talks to your Hue Bridge over the local network. You’ll need a configured Bridge and a compatible light or group. The Android app displays the controls, and the Windows app communicates with Hue. If you haven’t set up your Bridge, see the Philips Hue setup guide.
1. Pair your Bridge with TouchAsst
Open the Philips Hue integration in the Windows app and look for the Bridge. If it isn’t found, check that the PC and Bridge are on the same local network. Press the link button on the Bridge itself, then confirm the connection in TouchAsst. This physical step protects the Bridge from unauthorised apps.
Once paired, load your lights, groups and scenes so you can select a target. The Bridge must be reachable for a fader to read and change a value.
2. Create a brightness fader
Open a page in the PC editor and choose an empty cell. Add a fader and increase its height if you want more room for adjustment. Choose Philips Hue as the target, then select the light or group you want to dim. Give the fader a label such as “Desk” or “Stream lighting”.
Slide the fader on your tablet to adjust brightness. Watch the light and the displayed value on your first test. Move the fader steadily so you can see how the light responds.
3. Recall a lighting scene with a separate button
A fader adjusts a continuous value such as brightness. To recall a Hue scene, add a button, select the Philips Hue scene action and choose a scene you’ve loaded. For example, tap once to set warm desk lighting or your streaming lights, then use the fader to fine-tune the brightness.
You can also combine Hue steps with other actions in a workflow, such as setting a lighting scene and then switching OBS scenes. Test each step on its own before running them together during a stream.
If nothing happens
Start by checking the Bridge connection. If a light was renamed or a scene deleted after pairing, refresh the Hue data and select an existing target. A light group defines which lights you control. A scene stores how those lights should look.
Hue control is still being tested. Available features depend on your Bridge, lights and the scenes you’ve loaded.
