# Philips Hue Bridge Interface

# Id

The Id field shows the internal number of the interface under which it is saved. When creating a new interface, the field is empty. The type of interface is displayed behind it. Both parts are for information purposes only.

# Name

The name of the interface. The name is displayed in selection lists and may also be displayed to users in interface notifications.

# Comment

The comment field is for free use by the integrator. It is used exclusively to document the configuration. You can enter information here, e.g. the purpose of the interface, any special features, etc.

# Options

Here you will find a single checkbox: Deactivated. If you set this checkbox, the interface is deactivated as far as possible. Channels of the interface are still available in the system, but write accesses are no longer passed on to the hardware and read accesses return no value or the last available value.
Deactivating an interface can be helpful if the hardware is no longer connected/defective, or if you want to try something out without the physical devices being addressed.

# Network adapter

This field is normally empty. You only need to fill it in if the Hue Bridge is not accessible via the standard network interface ( [more...](https://berg.x2.energy/hlp/de/fieldtype_nic) ).

# Bridge IP

Enter the IP address of the Hue Bridge with which this interface communicates here. This IP address should be permanently assigned to the Hue Bridge ( [more...](https://berg.x2.energy/hlp/de/fieldtype_ipaddress) ).

# Bridge user

The user that was set up on the Hue Bridge for X2B is specified here. The user authenticates X2B to the Hue Bridge. Without a valid user, X2B cannot communicate with the Hue Bridge.

# Update interval

Time interval how often the status should be read by the Hue Bridge.
