Elgato Key light mini controller

This was a program built out of laziness as I wanted a quicker way to control my elgato key light mini that I use for zoom calls. It makes rest calls to the api on the light and has a rudimentary cli.

Building

If you are reading this, I still haven't gotten around to adding bonjur support for auto discovery. So you will need to manually edit this line with your light's IP address:

const LIGHT_IP = "192.168.4.40"

You will have to find it in your router / access point's web interface, then make sure to re-build. Eventually I should make this work with bonjur, but thats a later problem.

Build with go build and put on your path somewhere for easy access

Ultra Lazy Mode

Tired of having to open a terminal and type in a command to turn on your light? Why not create a shortcut?

In ubuntu 18.04 (no idea about other os versions, google it) you can create keyboard shortcuts from the settings menu (settings->devices->keyboard). I created 2 shortcuts to run the light on and light off commands, that way when I forget I have a meeting and am scrambling to find the link I can at least not stress about my light turning on. Below are some screenshots of my shortcut configs.
