wifiled

Command line access to generic socket based WIFI LED Controllers

Usage

Before using wifiled, you need to tell it what ip and port to target. (port will default to 5577 if not set)

  1. Environment Variables - Before using wifiled, run export wifiled_ip= 192.168.1.123 and export wifiled_port = 5577
  2. CLI Flags - add -ip 192.168.1.123 and/or -port 5577

You can set multiple ips with a comma separator. For example -ip="1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3"

You can set -timeout=1 to set the timeout in seconds. This is useful if you have a lot of controllers and don't want to wait long for each command. (defaults to 5 seconds)

Then you can issue the following commands:

wifiled on - turns on LEDs to the last RGBWWW setting

wifiled off - turns off LEDs

wifiled dim 50 - dims all channels to 50/255

wifiled dim 255 0 0 - dims LEDs to Red 255/255 Green 0/255 Blue 0/255

wifiled dim 200 200 200 100 100 - dims LEDs RGB to 200/255 and Whites to 100/200

wifiled randomize - randomizes the LEDs

wifiled randomize 0-10 - sets a random color with values between 0 and 10

wifiled randomize 255 0-50 0-50 - sets red fixed and green/blue between 0 and 50

If you want to avoid getting the color white, simply add -avoidwhite and whenever the RGB are over 150 for each channel, it will turn off the blue channel.
