Started out as a fork of the unmaintained phpHue class () and ended up as a complete rewrite. Getting Started --------------- [](#getting-started) The src/ directory contains the huephp classes and all necessary functions for interacting with the Hue hub. Additionally, you can easily require huephp as a dependency using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/) `php composer.phar require muesli/huephp ~1.0` Check out the "samples" directory. You'll find a few demos, showing you how to interact with huephp. It uses the PEST library to access Hue's RESTful API, but as a user of huephp, you don't need to worry about the details. hue command-line tool --------------------- [](#hue-command-line-tool) bin/hue is a command line lighting system controller. ``` ./bin/hue -i [Hue bridge's ip] If you don't already have a valid registered key for this Hue bridge: -g [register a new key with the Hue bridge] Once have a registered key, you need to specify it with -k: -k [valid key that is registered with your Hue hub] Use it in combination with one of the following parameters: To get information from the bridge: -f [fetch full state from Hue hub] -c [check light states: returns 0 when a light is off, 1 when on] To control the bridge: If you don't specify a light number, bin/hue will target all bulbs: -l [light number] Turning a light on or off: -o [0 for turning the light off, 1 for turning it on] To set a new color, pick one of the following options: -n [color name (see below)] or -h [hue in degrees on the color circle 0-360] -s [saturation 0-254] -b [brightness 0-254] or -t [white color temp 150-500] Additionally options are: -r [transition time, in seconds. Decimals are legal (".1", for instance)] -e [command to execute before changing light setting] ``` You need to specify an ip (-i), a key (-k) and at least one of the following options: -h, -s, -b, -t, -o or -n. If you don't specify a light, it'll set the values you specify on all of them. If you don't have a key yet, you can register one by calling bin/hue with -g. You can turn lights on or off with the -o switch. Any other parameter implies '-o 1'. In other words, if you specify any other parameter when the lamp is off, we'll turn it on for you. ### Presets [](#presets) The '-n' switch takes a one-word name for a color, and sets the selected lights to that color. It has a small list of predefined color names, and simply doesn't do anything if you give it a string it doesn't know. It currently knows red, blue, purple, green, coolwhite, and warmwhite. A '-n' parameter may be overridden in part by other parameters. For instance, "-n red -s 50" will give you a pastel red, and "-n blue -r 10" will produce a 10-second fade to blue. Note that "-n red -h 200" will override the redness of the red command with a hue of 200, which is purpleish, but it will inherit the full saturation and brightness of the "red" preset. ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity25 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 76.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
