I have been hacking (truly hacking, lots of bits and pieces) an addon that will control Philips Hue lights/groups and scenes.
I have a version running reasonably well on an AX88U Pro. It started as a way to make one of my Hue bulbs change colors based on the results of spdmerlin. Green for speeds over 100 Mbit/sec, Yellow for 20-99 and Red for less than 20.
The base code was from Harald van der Laan on github. It was based on bash so I converted it to /bin/sh, added some "addon style" install structure - then did some major changes.
My version supports "scenes", a way to authenticate the Hue Bridge during install, better display of lights and groups and scenes and a way to convert a color to it's xy coordinates.
I am now tweaking it so you can change the actual color of the light by just specifying a color (no xy stuff).
If there is any interest, I will post the install (stolen shamelessly from @Jack Yaz ) and an early version.
Now, the tough part - I am going OOT next Tuesday. Away From Keyboard as they say. ;-)
There are no doubt a few test cases that escaped me. I will address them - in a few weeks...
If there is interest, let me know.
BTW, as an example of usage:
I am re-working the power usage to allow an extra argument after "on". You would do
$ merlinhue light 5 state on Red
