Lucia

A tool for controlling Philips Hue lights from the comfort of a terminal. The aim is to cover most of the functionality exposed by the Hue API, but perhaps in the future to also augment it and/or support devices by other vendors.

Set Up

Use the configure subcommand and give it the IP address of the Hue Bridge. Follow the instructions in the output.

The setup will create a lucia.json file in your home directory with information needed for calling the API.

You may verify that everything is working by running the devices subcommand.
