Control with This Instance
Once the Hue Bridge has been connected successfully and Hue devices (such as lights or smart plugs) have been configured, they are displayed in a selection list.
Select the device or group that should be controlled by this instance.
Note
Smart plugs connected to the Hue Bridge support only the functions intended for this device type.
Using incompatible settings may result in unexpected behavior. Make sure the configuration matches the selected Hue device type.

Update Interval
In some applications, the current status of Philips Hue lights must be polled periodically to detect changes made outside the Smart Home App, for example through the Hue app or another control system.
