Nice example of a 'one pixel dashbard' :-) using the Hue color as a signifier of some variable. Reminds me of the Ambient Orbs from Ambient Devices [1] (spin off from MIT's Media Lab), and more recently the blink(1) device [2]

Not to crap on this, but IFTTT can do this without code for plebs and muggle's like me who can't code.

Well, that is a little bit too positive, I think. Yes, there is a recipe in which you can connect a Weather trigger to a Philips Hue action... but the translation from the temperature (or whatever) to the color code for the Hue is not available. So, how to translate 30 degrees Celcius to a nice #FFD801 (yellow) glow?
