Installation

  • npm install nattress/thebutton-hue
  • cd node_modules/thebutton-hue
  • node server.js
  • It will fail the first time because Node.JS doesn't have a valid username on your Hue Bridge. The app will create a username for you. Paste it into the Username variable and re-run.
  • If you have multiple Hue Bridges, select the one you want by putting its ID (displayed in the bridge enumeration on startup) into the BridgeIdToUse variable
