As the saying goes:
Give credit where credit is due
- https://cobra.dev/
- https://github.com/amimof/huego is an excellent library for controlling the Hue lights, and this is what is used in huectl
- https://github.com/skwair/huectl Has a similar tool written in go (and unfortunately was the first to use the name 😆). I thought about extending it, but I also wanted to add a different structure to the commands and port it to huego, and hence started pretty much from scratch. Some elements of this tool has definitely been borrowed from skwair though.
