Introduction

This repository provides a standalone installation of the command-line utility from Homebridge Hue:

  • ph, to discover, monitor, and interact with Hue bridges.
    See the ph Tutorial in the Wiki for more info.

ph takes a -h or --help argument to provide a brief overview of its functionality and command-line arguments.

Prerequisites

You need a Philips Hue bridge to connect Homebridge Hue Tools to your Hue-compatible lights, switches, and sensors. I recommend using the latest Hue bridge firmware, with API v1.67.0 (v2 bridge) or v1.16.0 (v1 bridge) or higher.

The Homebridge Hue tools communicate with the Hue bridge using the local v1 Hue API.
