Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

hue-hacking-npm: Hue Control Library

npm version CircleCI Coverage Status

hue-hacking is a javascript library designed to control the Philips Hue smart LED bulb system. This version has been modified to be used as a Node module.

For more information on the Philips Hue bulbs and wireless bridge system, visit meethue.com.

Initial concept and startup work inspired by Ross McKillop's post.

Getting Started

Once you've followed the instructions with your Hue starter kit and you have your lamps working through the web interface or smartphone app, it's time to configure your copy of hue.js.

For a full breakdown of what the Philips Hue API/SDK offers, check out the official developer site. Full details about how to register a new 'user' with the wireless bridge can be found at the SDK getting started page.

  1. Generate and save your MD5 hash (any MD5 generator will do). Be sure to save your hash and the passphrase used to generate it in a safe place.

  2. Find the IP address of your Hue wireless bridge. This can be gathered in a number of ways, including the meethue.com control panel, https://www.meethue.com/en-US/user/preferencessmartbridge, by clicking on the "Show me more" link. See screenshot for an example. Alternatively, you can browse to this URL, and use the value displayed in internalipaddress. This module now supports a static search operation, allowing you to find any Hue bridges attached to the local network (using the same UPNP approach as mentioned previously):

import { Hue, HueUPNPResponse } from "hue-hacking-node";

const foundBridges: HueUPNPResponse[] = await Hue.search();
const validBridgeIPs: string[] = [];
for (let bridge of foundBridges) {
  validBridgeIPs.push(bridge.internalipaddress);
}

Or, if you can't use async / await semantics in your module:

import { Hue, HueUPNPResponse } from "hue-hacking-node";

let validBridgeIPs: string[] = [];
Hue.search().then((bridges) => {
  for (let bridge of bridges) {
    validBridgeIPs.push(bridge.internalipaddress);
  }
});
  1. Quick example configuration:
import { Hue } from "hue-hacking-node";

const bridgeIP = "192.168.x.x";
const appname = "myfirsthueapp"; // This is the hash / name / id that you registered with the bridge previously using the official Hue docs

const hue = new Hue({
  ip: bridgeIP,
  key: appname,
  numberOfLamps: 3,
  retrieveInitialState: false,
});

For the best introduction to using this module, please see the hue-node.spec.ts file.
