Dependencies¶
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI¶
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-hue
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-hue
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-hue
Usage Example¶
Load bridge username and IP Address from secrets.py file:
username = secrets['hue_username']
bridge_ip = secrets['bridge_ip']
my_bridge = Bridge(wifi, bridge_ip, username)
Enumerate all lights on the bridge
lights = my_bridge.get_lights()
Turn on a light
my_bridge.set_light(1, on=True)
Turn off a light
my_bridge.set_light(1, on=False)
Set a light to the color yellow (RGB)
color = my_bridge.rgb_to_hsb([255, 255, 0])
my_bridge.set_light(1, hue=int(color[0]), sat=int(color[1]), bri=int(color[2]))
Set a group of lights to a predefined scene
my_bridge.set_group(1, scene='AB34EF5')
Set a group of lights to a predefined color
my_bridge.set_group(1, color)
