Command-line Examples

First off, you need to specify which lights you want to target. Let’s say that you have two lights connected to your bridge:

[1] Living Room

[2] Bedroom

If you want to target [1], you could type:

SilentRoomController.exe -id 1 -command <command> [command_args]

You can also specify multiple lights as a target. For example, if you want both lights [1] and [2] as a target. To do so, type the following:

SilentRoomController.exe -id 1,2 -command <command> [command_args] 

Here comes the command part. So now that you have specified which light(s) you want as a target, you can choose a supported command. Commands are written above. Let’s say we now want lights [1] and [2] to turn on, type the following:

SilentRoomController.exe -id 1,2 -command 1

The same goes for turning off both lights:

SilentRoomController.exe -id 1,2 -command 2

You might have noticed the [command_args] parameter. This is for the commands which contains the ‘(*)’ symbol. This stands for: command parameter required. This means that it needs another argument within the arguments. For example, the COMMAND_SET_BRIGHTNESS command needs another argument, which specified the brightness itself.

Let’s say you want the light to be having brightness 100, you type the following:

SilentRoomController.exe -id 1 -command 4 100

This is the end of the examples. If you’d like to know more about using SilentRoomController 2.0, consider sending me a message.
