Set Philips Hue lights based on Beat Saber events
- Node.js (developed with version 9.3.0)
- Beat Saber with the beatsaber-http-status plugin (Use the plugin installer)
- A Philips Hue bridge on the same network as the computer running Beat Saber
- A color bulb set up with the Hue bridge
This application was developed on a network with one Hue bridge and one color bulb. Due to this, there are a few limitations.
- If you have more than one Hue bridge, this will use the first one it finds
- If your bridge has more than one bulb, this will use the first one based on its ID in the bridge
- I'm not sure what will happen if the bulb that is selected is not a color bulb
- It doesn't work well with levels that have very rapid color changes (you'll see errors in the console if the bulb cannot keep up with the colors)
- Install dependencies with
npm i - Build the project with npm run build
- Copy the
.env.samplefile to.env - Edit the SOCKET_URL value in the .env file if needed (this is not required if you are running this program on the same computer that is running Beat Saber)
- Start Beat Saber
- Press the button on your Hue bridge
- Run the program with
npm run start
- Beat Saber must be running with the http status plugin before starting the program, otherwise and error will occur
- On the first run of this program, you must press the button on your Hue bridge before starting it
- After sucessfully running the program once, you do not need to press the Hue bridge button for subsequent startups
