I've followed all instructions as described...

I experience the following error on Raspberry Pi 3 when I attempt sudo npm run start:

pi@mypi:~/dasher/dasher-hue $ sudo npm run start

dasher-hue@1.0.0 start /home/pi/dasher/dasher-hue sudo node app.js

module.js:339 throw err; ^

Rename config.sample.json to config.json Don't forget to edit it according to your needs.

Duh, my bad. Simple fix, thanks!

This code works like a champ. Love it! Any chance there is an option for "scene" in addition to "group" and "light"? Reason I ask is because I have a scene I'd like to control with the Amazon Dash button that utilizes the fade function of the Hue lights.

It seems node-hue-api has support for scenes. https://github.com/peter-murray/node-hue-api

I see the method called activateScene, but I don't see deactivateScene https://github.com/peter-murray/node-hue-api#activating-or-recalling-a-scene

I opened an issue to know more. https://github.com/peter-murray/node-hue-api/issues/113

Once I clarify that, it would be very easy to add support for scenes.

Ricardo1980 commented 6 years ago

After a discussion here https://github.com/peter-murray/node-hue-api/issues/113 and some research, I see it's possible to activate a scene, but not deactivate it. I could add to the code the possibility to activate a specific scene, but if you press the button again, nothing would happen because a scene cannot be deactivated.
