Hi

I have start up issues with using hue magic 2.0.5.  
Node-red v.5.0.7

I have connected my hue bridge successfully.  
I can turn on my light with using an inject node so i know the light is working.  
Question 1:  
How can i toggle my light with a single button? is this only possible with using a function?

Question 2: How do i use the node Hue Scene?

thanks for support.

Did you look at the documentation ?

> **[node-red-contrib-huemagic](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-huemagic#hue-scenes)**
>
> Philips Hue node to control bridges, lights, groups, scenes, rules, taps, switches, buttons, motion sensors, temperature sensors and Lux sensors using Node-RED.

> How can i toggle my light with a single button

What kind of button ? Physical ? Web ?

Hi

I got it working with using the HA call service instead.

 ![2019-12-21_10-23-46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/f/fb94313d1b13c762b15cf180051f5e87fe466837.jpeg)

it is a physical button. Could not get the hue magic to work or hue scenes.

I got it working with the hue magic node, better yet my house is lit up by this node, physically, virtually and flowmatically. So why does it not work for you ?

note: node-red 5.0.7 does not exist.
