 The Wiz Connected plugin for XTension supports the WiFi versions of bulbs and switches from Phillips. This plugin does not support the Zigbee “Hue” lights or the Blue Tooth versions of their bulbs. For connecting XTension to a Hue Zigbee hub please use the separate [[supported_hardware:hue|Phillips Hue Plugin]].

 Discovered devices will initially be named with the interface name you used above and the unique MAC address of the unit. There does not appear to be a good way to get the name of the device that you configured into the Wiz system at this time. Once the Unit is created you can edit it and give it a more descriptive name. The current status and color or color temperature values will be reflected immediately in the new Unit.

 Once configured you can control the Wiz device’s color or color temperature and level just like any other such device in XTension via the various options to the [[dictionary:unitcontrol:turnon|Turn On]] and [[dictionary:unitcontrol:dim|dim/bright]] verbs.

 ====Dealing With Scenes:====

 When using the user interface the current brightness is used as the brightness for the scene. Changing the brightness of the unit may cancel the scene at least in this beta version. In the future you’ll be able to change the brightness of a scene without having to re-select it.
-There remain some oddness in XTension’s handling of scenes in this beta version. As I get more experience of just how it works I will continue to flesh out the support for them.

+A device running a scene will display the name of the scene and then the brightness in the Value fields throughout XTension. Here is an example of a device running the “Fireplace” scene at a brightness of 11%:
+While this is the default behavior you can override it by changing the On Label or Off Label in the Edit Unit dialogs [[xtension_manual:editunitdisplay|Display tab]]. For example: if you wish to always display just the value in the field adding the [[xtension_manual:advancedlabel|Advanced Label Syntax]] of just “<value>” to the On Label field would make it always display the brightness without any of the other labels.

+  * The bulb will respond to the [[dictionary:unitinformation:queryof|Query verb]] to force a poll via a script. Note that no value is returned from the query command, but if the value or settings of the bulb are different when the data is returned it will be updated. The Query verb is run async and operates in the background. The query command will update the data for the Unit in XTension regardless of the polling settings for the device. Even if the device is set for no polling at all you can do so manually via the query command.

For most routers/DHCP servers this is not terribly likely to happen as it will ask for it’s same IP address with each update to it’s lease but not all devices support that so your milage may vary.
