Use an emulated Philips Hue bridge to tie your home automation together, complete with voice control via Amazon Echo/Dot.

This bridge allows you to customize control of your devices locally using TCP and UDP with support for ZWave / ZigBee / Bluetooth using Wink hub radios (via plugin) and IR using IR blaster (pending).

how to

npm install
npm start
Go to localhost:80 to add devices (make sure onUrl/offUrl is valid)
Ask Alexa/Echo to discover devices
Once done, you should see your device(s) in Alexa app as "Dimmable Light"
Ask Alexa to turn your device(s) on/off or change brightness
