nodecg-hue

WIP NodeCG bundle to control Philips Hue lighting system

So far this bundle allows you to control your hue lights as long as your bridge has already been setup with all of your lightbulbs and optionally any information on light groups and scenes.

Install

Make sure you have NodeCG and then enter the code below:

cd nodecg/bundles/
git clone https://github.com/Lypho/nodecg-hue
cd nodecg-hue
npm install -g bower browserify
bower install
npm install
npm run build

Project Quirks

Scenes can only be updated through a "Group of Lights" selection Scenes ignore the "Transition Time" setting, but not the "Off/On" setting

Todo

Short Term

add warning when updating lights when no lights have been selected
ability to shift bri, hue, sat by small increments
stop sliders with large input values from being visually cut off
add message to background of light selection div if lights/groups are empty
implement a search for new lights feature
implement light scheduling - schedules API
create a settings dialog that contains rarely changed lightstate options (bridge name, proxy port, touchlink, netmask, gateway)
create a settings element on the panel that contains frequently changed lightstate options (color effect)

Long Term

consider moving todo list off of GitHub
consider removing XY tab since it's not intuitive and the color-preview isn't that accurate
make smarter requests to hue-api by removing unnecessary arguments (don't send on() to a light that is already on)
create a visual color picker with the ability to save favourite colors
consider moving scenes to a separate panel
add ability to select from a couple different layout designs
look into light rules - rules API
look into light sensors - sensors API
gain better understanding of Polymer to see if there is a better way to track slider value changes than attaching a boatload eventListeners
consider making a Polymer element out of the color picker
consider using tinycolor2 or other color manipulation library
create extension API with documentation
make bundle production ready (minimize js/css, figure out best building solution)
