Busy Light

Uses the Hue Light API to set colors via the command line. This tool is incredibly bare bones and has almost no error handling at all.

yarn

node . --init "App Name"

For example something like:

node . --init my-app

You will then need to press the button on your Hue Bridge to confirm.

This will create a file named busylight.json which will contain the details of the authorized user you just created. You can now set lights.

node . -l "Light Name" -c "Color Name"

For example if you have a Hue Light named "desk-lamp" and you want to set it to the color blue, you could run:

node . -l desk-lamp -c blue

For more usage details run node . --help.
