A simple API to control an Elgato Light Strip from the CLI. Configure modes with a yaml file and run the strip with the desired colors.
Create a virtual environment with a method of your choice and activate it, e.g.
python3 -m venv env
. env/bin/activate
Install all the requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
Find the IP of your Elgato Light Strip, e.g. 192.168.178.64, and put it into the config.yml. Run the script:
python main.py --config config.yml
Specify a mode from the config with --mode, e.g. --mode random. See below to add custom modes.
Add colors by expanding the colors dictionary in the config file. The syntax is colorname : r,g,b with values in [0,255].
Define modes with custom names. Every mode needs to define a type, currently there are
- random
- rotate
- linear
random just selects a random hue.
rotate cycles through the hues from 0 to 255.
linear cycles through the specified colors with linear interpolation. You can change the amount of steps between colors by adding steps: amount to the mode definition.
