Sending commands directly to bulb, circumventing the tp-link cloud server #4

Closed bergsm closed 5 years ago

The issue here is sending the commands directly to the bulb, rather than sending the commands to the tp-link cloud server which then updates the bulb. I have seen a few other projects that have been able to do this. I believe it may be as simple as sending the POST request to the IP address of the bulb, but another project I viewed did make use of sockets.

We may be able to make use of sockets to send the commands to the bulbs as well.

This will require loading the ip address of the bulbs into a saved file somewhere as well.
