Hue Test App is a single-view reference implementation for Philips Hue: Discover bridges on the LAN, Register with the link button, connect SSE, and list devices — the proven path that informed Hue Analyzer’s connection layer.
How it works
A deliberately simple flow for testing bridge connectivity.
Browse _hue._tcp via Bonjour and list bridges with IP and model ID on your network.
Select a bridge and complete link-button pairing to obtain an application key.
Open a Server-Sent Events stream from the registered bridge for live resource updates.
Fetch and display device names and types from the connected bridge.
Purpose
A lightweight sandbox for Hue discovery, registration, and SSE — not a full diagnostics suite.
Proven Bonjour browse and IP resolution used as the baseline for Hue Analyzer bridge connection work.
Exercises link-button pairing and credential storage for Hue Bridge and Hue Bridge Pro (BSB003).
Validates live event streaming before layering richer diagnostics and resource browsers.
Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with a compact single-list interface sized for wider layouts.
