philips-hue-manager

What will I find in this repo?

A CLI to interact with the Philips Hue API. This is just a pretext to play with different tools like zsh script, jq, REST APIs etc...

What will I need to run it?

• jq
• curl
• zsh

How can I run it?

git clone git@github.com:FXHibon/domotic-hue-manager.git
cd ./domotic-hue-manager

# you'll need value correctly the 2 required fields in this json
cp auth.json.dist auth.json

chmod u+x ./hue-manager

./hue-manager

If everything goes well, you should see something like:

What next?

Well, there is a lot of things to be done obviously:

• Implement a simpler logger without $LINENO explicitly passed in every function as parameter 😅
• Implement basic interactions with the rooms, like switch on / off a room, because this tool is useless without this obviously
• Add Alfred Wokflow support
  • Yes I know that there is already a workflow for this, but it depends on python2 and I really don't want to downgrade my python installation from version 3 to 2, which is the current recommanded solution (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/python-2-monterey/)
• Refactorize the code in small functions
• Add tests
