houmio-midi-control

Control dimmable Houm.io lights with a standard MIDI controller.

Usage

1. Plug-in a MIDI controller that can send MIDI control messages (I have an Akai MPK mini)
2. Find out the _id of your dimmable Houm.io light from the list at: https://houm.herokuapp.com/api/site/<YOUR-SITEKEY>/light
3. Clone & run this app:

npm install
export HORSELIGHTS_SITEKEY=<YOUR-SITEKEY>
node index.js <_id>

Then, twist the controller knobs on your MIDI controller!

TODO

• Uses hard-coded MIDI input number
• Light configuration is cumbersome
• Only supports one light (since the controller number is ignored for now)
• Only tested on OS X
