Hue-CLI Control the lights of your home from your terminal Part 1
Three years ago, I had a personal need. I wanted to control the lights in my studio from the terminal. Three years just flew by
And now, after a brief hiatus, I’m back on track with this project and gearing up for a significant launch (for my own sanity, and hopefully for your convenience too).
However, as I have limited time during the day, I will break down the tasks into manageable chunks and document my progress on my blog.
The goal
Launch the first version of the hue-cli: a CLI tool to control your Phillips Hue devices.
The CLI tool is able to:
- Connecting the CLI tool with the Hue Bridge.
- See and manage your bridge
- See and manage all your rooms
- See and manage all your devices
Commands:
hue init
Progress so far:
- Read the Phillips Hue documentation
- Started the repo
- Worked on the first command hue init
Tomorrow:
- Continue with the hue rooms command
