Twitter is great on mobile, but if you're on a desktop or laptop, there's nothing more convenient than a great Twitter app right on your Mac. Sure, you can go to Twitter.com on the web, but lets face it - native is still faster, more persistent, and in many cases, still plain-old better than the browser. Mar 01, 2018 A. Twitter announced on Feb. 16 that it had just retired its official Mac desktop software from the Mac App Store and planned to support the existing. Since Twitter did away with their official Mac app I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement. I think I found it with Friendly for Twitter. It’s smooth and responsive. Feb 20, 2018 The official Twitter app for Mac is as good as dead. Twitter no longer offers the app for download, and it will no longer be supported in March. Twitter no longer offers the app. What happened to the twitter app for mac.

Hue Server doesn't require a particular programing language.
All commands can be send via OSC, AppleScript or your voice (requires Hue Remote on iOS).
Enter a command by just starting to type into the Mac OS application.
Hue Server will auto-complete your input.
All you enter will be broadcasted in your local network via OSC.
This way you can make your own applications or hardware listen for your custom commands and trigger functions.
See the preferences.plist to hack around with the OSC input / output port and other nifty (advanced) options.
The pipeline command lets you add all Hue Server commands to a list that will be executed one after another.
Since light-scenes can have a custom transition-time of up to 2 hours the pipeline command will wait with the next command until your bulbs reach their new state.
Example:
A sequence for going to Bed:
AI Memory context: advanced feature for remembering a human context.
Just download and install the Automator plugin.
See the demo processing sketch. Hue Server will send & receive OSC so you can hook up almost anything.
Input port: 2331
Output port: 9031
'/hue/cmd'
Trigger all commands in Hue Server with a custom URL:
hueserver://command=say:Hello%20World
hueserver://command=Green
What you can read as human you can also simply say via the speech recognition on iOS (via Hue Remote).
('XXX' should be replaced by your lights or groups name):
(Will be applied to all lights that are on)
Combine color names with lights or groups:
(Use the name of your light-scene to trigger it)
(Use the name of your AppleScripts to trigger it)
If an AppleScript an a light-scene have the same name they 'merge to one' and will both be triggered.
Optionally you can override the default transition-time set on iOS by adding '-t:5' to your command.5 stands for 5 ms; you can set a transition-time between 0ms and 2h.
say:Hello World! // Change the Mac OS system voice for more fun.
XXX -s // More efficiant say: (speech output) command
message:Hello World! // Sends a message to the Mac OS notification center.
log:Hello World! // Enter 'Logs' into Hue Server to access the txt files.
I can't to find a way to connect to my audio receiver from the Amazon Music software for PC/Mac. Mac app for amazon music.
Logging on // Enables the logging in txt files
Logging off // Disables the logging in txt files
activity:XXX // Advanced option to feed the system a human context. You'll find that variable in different AppleScripts to create very unique setups.
location:XXX // Trigger the motion system. When you change your location through this command you'll trigger the 'Location switch' AppleScript. You can also trigger actions after minutes to hours while staying at the location. See the 'Location update' AppleScript.
How long am I here? // After setting a location via 'Location:XXX' you can ask how long you are at the new location.
Where am I? // The system will tell you about the current location.
Status // Nothing is true, everything is permitted. The direct AI feedback from the inner core.
Speech on // 'Status' and other commands will make the system react via speech.
Speech off
'XXX -p' // Add commands to a pipeline so they will be executed one after another
Clear pipeline
'XXX -r' // Remember/Reset and forget memories
'XXX -f'
activate // shows the input window of Hue Server. Put this action into an AppleScript to create a custom shortcut. > tell application 'Hue Server' to run command 'activate'
First announced back at CES in January, Philips is releasing its new Philips Hue Sync app for both Mac and PC today. The new macOS utility lets you sync Hue smart light colors and effects to games, video, and music playing from Mac.
Philips describes the new Mac app benefits:
Imagine you’re playing an action game and your lights mimic the explosions on the screen. Or, when watching a stunning sunset in a movie, have your living room bathed in the same violet, orange and yellow hues you see on the screen. And finally, take your music listening to a new level; your lights can dance to the beat of your favorite tracks.
Alongside the launch of Philips Hue Sync, Signify (formerly Philips Lighting) and Disney have teamed up to create a unique lighting experience:
Signify collaborated with Disney Music Group to showcase Philips Hue Sync’s immersive capabilities with the highly anticipated, premiere music video from the new a cappella singing sensation, DCappella. The group performs the track, “Immortals”, which was featured in Disney’s Oscar®-winning animated film, “Big Hero 6”. As part of the collaboration, fans can enjoy the new video in a 360-degree experience.
As for the Hue Sync app, here’s how it works:
The Hue Sync app can be used with one press of a button. Simply select your desired Audio, Video or Gaming mode within the control panel, and you can sync your lights to the entertainment content playing on your computer.
You can also tailor your lighting experience. The software allows you to set your desired brightness level and change the speed in which your lights are changing alongside the content; you can select between Subtle, Moderate, High and Intense modes. Plus, when listening to music, you choose from several different color palettes to match the genre. For example, subtle, pastel colors play nicely with softer tunes, while brighter, bolder tones might be better suited for rock and dance music.
Philips notes that Hue Sync isn’t limited to computers even though its a Windows and macOS app; users can extend the Hue Sync experience to TVs using HDMI, Chromecast, AirPlay, or Miracast.
