Ruhue (NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED)

So far, mere documentations of my findings when sniffing the Hue.

There is a mailing list, dedicated to discussions and questions about hacking the Philips Hue and related protocols.

• Mailing list web interface: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/hue-hackers
• Mailing list e-mail address: [email protected]

Other link resources:

• Hack the Hue
• A Day with Philips Hue

Console

There is a console script in this repository, written by @Burgestrand as the documentation effort travels further. It is written in Ruby, and only supports Ruby 1.9.x and newer. You may start the console with the following:

1. Install bundler: gem install bundler
2. Install console script dependencies: bundle install
3. Run the console script: ruby console.rb

You’ll be dropped into a pry prompt (similar to IRB), with access to the following local variables:

• hue — a Hue instance, documented in lib/hue.rb
• client — a Hue::Client, documented in lib/hue/client.rb

Once the Hue API exploration adventure starts slowing down, the scripts will be turned into a ruby gem and tested with rspec.

API

The API reference documentation has moved to the hue-api repository. It is hosted on http://burgestrand.github.com/hue-api/ using GitHub Pages. Contributions are very welcome, and if you’d like commit access to the hue-api repository, just ask!
