create own colorloop? #26

Closed prankousky closed 7 years ago

prankousky commented 7 years ago

hi,

is it possible to create an individual colorloop? for example, ffffff 2 seconds, blue 4 seconds, purple 6 seconds (transition time 0,3 seconds) and run it?

i was considering just writing a bash script that does this, but seems like it always takes a second for commands to be accepted by my hue bridge (or lamp), so this is not an option...

thanks in advance :)

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the HTTP interface Hue provides us. You could write a bash script that repeatedly calls hue-cli to get the effect, but it will prone to the delay you are already seeing.

There is a new API that Hue has announced that looks promising https://developers.meethue.com/entertainment-blog. That would need a separate program than hue-cli to work however.
