MiJia lights API project

This is the source code and instructions to control Xiaomi Mi home devices using a PlayStation4 Controller.

• index.js the Node.js server code
• ps.py Python controller button mapping with Node.js endpoints

Why

While this doesn't have any practical value, it was a fun project! Beside the sense of achievement when I used the controller to switch off the light was amazing.

Aside from being my first Raspberry Pi project, this is purely to demonstrate how different technologies can work together.

Contributing

Please do. You probably write a better JavaScript/Python than I do. I would love to see what kind of combinations and actions you can make with the controller.
