title: How to connect backend service with philips hue bridge remotely?
body: <p>I'm looking to write a philips hue service that needs to allow users to register their hue bridge with my service.  This service would change the color of bulbs based on an event.  I'm aware that I can use IFTTT but in this scenario, I'd like to not use IFTTT and I'd like to register my website with philips hue's apps.  </p>
  
  <p>Any idea how I can do this?  Your help is very much appreciated.  Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Not sure why I was down voted but I definitely did do my research.  I looked on philips hue's developer website and couldn't find anything that was explicit on their APIs.  I also looked through the iOS SDK and didn't see any methods that would trigger the pairing routine for remote devices.  So far, the only example I have of this working (outside of Philips' products is the IFTTT service, which allows for an entry to be added into the 'My Apps' section).  </p>
