Light Bridge hook? about extralife-helper HOT 2 CLOSED

This is pretty awesome. I'll have to explore the API and maybe customize the alert to do something different, like a quick color cycle, ending on a random color or something. Thanks!

Hey @SturmB. I have my Hue lights flash by making a direct request to my light bridge. Assuming you are running the Helper on a computer that is connected to the same network as your light bridge, it is really easy if you use the Helper's onNewDonation function in ExtraLifeHelper.html. Here's what mine looks like:

    // If you would like additional things to happen when a new donation is 
    // received, put them in this function.
    function onNewDonation(donorName, donationAmount, message, avatarImageURL, createdOn)
    {
		$.ajax({
			url: 'http://IP-ADDRESS/api/USERNAME/groups/1/action',
			type: 'PUT',
			data: '{ "alert": "lselect" }',
			dataType: 'json',
			cache: false
		});
    }

IP-ADDRESS = The IP address of your light bridge
USERNAME = The username you created when connecting to your light bridge as explained here: https://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/getting-started
