Add colorloop support #24

Closed opticron closed 7 years ago

opticron commented 7 years ago

This adds per-pixel colorloop support with a continuous 60s hue fade. Note that the hue fade starts with the specified (or previous if not re-specified) color values, so keeping saturation and brightness at 255 will make the colorfade look entirely white.

How does this work, is there support in the app for this? Which client app(s) are you testing this against?

opticron commented 7 years ago

Right now I'm just testing via cURL, but according to the documentation there is support for this mode. See http://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/core-concepts for more information.

Cool, thanks. I would really recommend that you test with real-life clients (more than 1) too, in order to produce reliable code that works in practice (I had to learn this the hard way when I started this project ;-)

Yeah, I've been testing on and off with ultimate hue, but it seems like a lot of the 3rd party control apps are pretty crashy. If you have any solid recommendations, I'm willing to add them to my testing repertoire.

I'd say the official Hue iOS/Android app (old and new), and Chroma for macOS (anyway that's what I use)
