And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

Usage

The first time you use it, it will automatically create a user for you. Doing this requires you to have pushed the button on your bridge in the last 30 seconds. If you haven't it will throw an exception and let you know you need to push the button. Simply press the button and run the command again.

From CLI:

$ hue all on
$ hue all off
$ hue light 2 on
$ hue light 2 --brightness 20

From Ruby:

> client = Hue::Client.new
> light = client.lights.first
> light.on = true
> light.hue = 46920
> light.color_temperature = 100
> light.set_state({:color_temperature => 400, :transition => 100})
