Huebot
Program your Hue lights using YAML or JSON!
$ huebot run dimmer.yaml --light="Office Desk"
A few examples are below. See the Wiki for full documentation.
dimmer.yaml
This (very simple) program starts with the light(s) on at full brightness, then enters an hour and a half long loop of slowly dimming and raising the light(s). It finishes by turning them off again. Since no color is specified, the light(s) will retain whatever color they last had.

This more complicated program starts by switching devices on, then enters an infinite loop of two parallel steps. One branch fades up and down while the other branch is fading more lights down then up.

Install
gem install huebot
Having trouble with Hue Bridge auto discovery? Me too. If you know your bridge's IP (and ideally have assigned it a static one), you can set it manually:
huebot set-ip <your bridge's IP>
Configuration is stored in ~/.config/huebot.
