Now available through pypi/pip!
To install:
pip install jellyfishlights-py
- Connect to a local JellyFish Lighting controller over websocket
- Retrieve the following data:
- Controller's name, hostname, and firmware version
- Timezone configuration
- Zone configuration
- Preset patterns and their configurations
- Zone states
- Calendar schedule
- Daily schedule
- Turn zones on and off
- Activate a preset pattern
- Set lights to a solid color with brightness control
- Set any individual lights you want with brightness control

python -m pytest ./tests
If you don't have a local controller to test with you can skip the integration tests by running:
python -m pytest ./tests/unit
