bwssytems/ha-bridge
Home automation bridge that emulates a Philips Hue light system and can control other systems such as a Vera, Harmony Hub, Nest, MiLight bulbs or any other system that has an http/https/tcp/udp interface. This is a compact impl to run on small format computers. This is impl started from this project https://github.com/armzilla/amazon-echo-ha-bridge. observed · 2026-08-28

ha-bridge is a Java-based home automation bridge that emulates a Philips Hue light system, allowing voice assistants like Amazon Echo and hubs like Harmony Hub to discover and control arbitrary devices. It translates Hue protocol commands (on/off, brightness, color) into HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/UDP calls to other home automation systems such as Vera, Nest, or MiLight.
Use cases
- control non-Hue smart devices with Amazon Echo voice commands
- make Harmony Hub control devices via Hue protocol
- expose any HTTP/TCP/UDP-controllable device as a Hue light
- integrate Vera, Nest, or MiLight devices with Alexa
- run a lightweight Hue emulator on a Raspberry Pi
- bridge legacy home automation systems to modern voice assistants
When to choose
- you have an Amazon Echo or Harmony Hub and devices that lack native Hue support
- your devices expose HTTP, TCP, or UDP interfaces you want to trigger via Hue commands
- you want a compact, self-hosted bridge for small-format computers like Raspberry Pi
When to avoid
- you need cloud integration or meethue.philips.com features
- you require strong security—this tool has no built-in security protocols and should not be exposed to the internet
- you use AVS-based prototype Alexa devices without Hue bridge discovery capability
- you want a zero-configuration solution without networking or Java knowledge
