Hue state

Small deamon to manage state of your hue lights after power off.

Setup

npm

npm install

Bridge ip

You need to know your bridge ip address. You can visit meethue site to help you out.

Create username

run the following in a terminal (you need curl)

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"devicetype":"my_hue_app#android yourname"}' http://BRIDGE_IP/api

it will tell you to push the button, do it, then call that again. It should return a new username.

Run

node main.js --host=BRIDGE_IP --username=USERNAME

or even better using forever

forever start main.js --host=BRIDGE_IP --username=USERNAME

Docker

# build the container
docker build -t hue-state .

# run in a new container
docker run --restart always --name hue-state -d hue-state node main.js --host=BRIDGE_IP --username=USERNAME
