csgo-c4-hue

These scripts will change the colors of your Philips Hue lights based on the C4 bomb status in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

The Node.js version can be found here: csgo-c4-hue-node

Features

• Each light blinks red 1-by-1 when bomb has been planted.
• All lights blink red when bomb has been planted for at least 30 seconds.
• All lights turn orange when bomb has exploded.
• All lights turn blue when bomb has been defused.
• All lights turn white when there is no bomb status.

Installation

1. Copy gamestate_integration_c4_hue.cfg to your CS:GO cfg directory.

   OS X: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/cfg

   Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg

2. Install Python 2.7 if your machine doesn't have it.

3. Install Flask via pip.

   OS X: pip install flask

   Windows: C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe install flask

4. Edit csgo-c4-hue.py and fill in the values for your hue bridge IP and hue user.

   Example:

   HUE_BRIDGE_IP = '192.168.1.100'
   HUE_USER = '1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a0a'

Usage

Run both csgo-c4-hue.py and csgo-c4-hue-server.py scripts while playing CS:GO.

The csgo-c4-hue-server.py script will be receiving the gamestate data from CS:GO and it will write the bomb status to the file named bomb_status.

The csgo-c4-hue.py script will be reading the bomb_status file every 250 ms and will change the hue lights depending on what is in that file.

How to make a hue user

You can make a new user by going to the API Debug Tool: http://<your hue bridge ip>/debug/clip.html

For the url input box, enter /api.

For the message body, enter {"devicetype":"csgo_c4#user"}

Now you can press the link button on the bridge and then click the POST button in the API Debug Tool.

You should see a success message along with "username": "<long random character string>" in the command response area.

The long random character string is what needs to be copy/pasted into csgo-c4-hue.py.
