Usage

package main

import (
    "github.com/collinux/gohue"
)

func main() {
    // It is recommended that you save the username from bridge.CreateUser
    // so you don't have to press the link button every time and re-auth.
    // When CreateUser is called it will print the generated user token.
    bridgesOnNetwork, _ := hue.FindBridges()
    bridge := bridgesOnNetwork[0]
    username, _ := bridge.CreateUser("someusernamehere")
    bridge.Login(username)

    lights, _ := bridge.GetAllLights()
    for _, light := range lights {
        light.SetBrightness(100)
        light.ColorLoop(true)
    }

    nightstandLight, _ := bridge.GetLightByName("Nightstand")
    nightstandLight.Blink(5)
    nightstandLight.SetName("Bedroom Lamp")

    lights[0].SetColor(hue.RED)
    lights[1].SetColor(hue.BLUE)
    lights[2].SetColor(hue.GREEN)

    for _, light := range lights {
        light.Off()
    }
}
