Maybe this already exists, but I haven’t found it: My goal is being able to control the entertainment functionality (mainly - but not only - the sync one) from another device, using something like a RESTful API. This functionality cannot be triggered via the Hue Bridge API because it’s a feature in the Hue Essential app (which I guess it’s why it was decided not to include it as an “action” in automation - only “stop entertainment area” can).
I know that there’s the ways to control this from another app IN THE SAME device (e.g. Tasker) through a Plugin or Intents/android broadcasting, but this is not what I am looking for.
I think it would be great that everything that can be done via the Plugin/Intents could also be done via network (additionally, and because REST is not OS based, this would also work in the Windows version of Hue Essentials).
