After setting up action files to control hue, the system works in that the correct scene is triggered but at the same time it decides to turn on ALL the other lights in the hue bridge. one of my action files is this. Definitely right and as I say triggers the scene off, but also whacks all lights with it. is it something to do with APIV2? Many thanks

Happy 2025 everyone. I hope you’re ringing in the new year with joy, relaxation, and maybe even a few of your favorite movies. There’s nothing like cozying up at home, diving into a great story, and sharing the magic of cinema with loved ones. Here’s to a year filled with happiness, laughter, and endless movie nights! 🍿✨ What are you most looking forward to in 2025? Let us know—we’d love to hear!
October... the month that gave birth to the world's most famous and traditional beer festival. What's possibly better than two weeks of collective beer drinking? Under normal circumstances...probably nothing. In the so called new normal? Let's pretend we can tolerate a bit more of this social awkwardness and find an alternative way: let's just celebrate beer... and open-source. Or in Team Kodi's dictionary: just another month at the office :)
For yet another year, Kodi is participating as a project in Hacktoberfest. Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. During the month of October, individuals are invited to join open-source software enthusiasts, beginners, and the developer community by contributing to open-source projects. Additionally, Hacktoberfest also promotes several meetups, virtual events or hackatons to celebrate our beloved FOSS. Free swag (or planting a tree with your name if you feel inclined) usually comes to those who are able to finish the challenge (4 valid code contributions/pull-requests to eligible repositories) throughout the month of Hacktober.
How to get started?
Head over to the event website and have a read over the provided resources. For Kodi, a good starting point is our exhaustive list of open issues. Team Kodi members (maintainers) will make sure that all the code submissions that take place during the month of October towards our eligible repositories are labeled with the
hacktoberfest-acceptedlabel in case they are valid. Please don't abuse your luck: spam contributions will be tracked and marked invalid, making you ineligible for the competition!What are Kodi-eligible repositories?
