A Go CLI for Phillips Hue Smart Lights

Phillips HUE CLI

This is really just an excuse for me to learn Go in my off time. I would not depend on this library for anything serious. Proceed with caution. I have not run this on Windows or Linux.

Setup

This project uses GOMODULES. No need to clone to your GOPATH.

1. Make sure your GOBIN is correctly setup.
2. Follow https://developers.meethue.com/develop/get-started-2/ and get your UserId and the bridge IP.
3. export HUE_CLI=http://<BRIDGE IP>/api/<YOUR IP>/ in your shell config.
4. $ go build -o hue
5. $ go install hue.go

Useage
