API planned? #65

Hi, I am using your extension, which works great, thanks a lot! While I was using windows I used to use my StreamDeck to control the lighting for my scenes. While there is a community version of the StreamDeck Software it does not include the plugins the Windows version had. As I would really love to have my hot keys for lighting back on the Deck, I was wondering if there was any sort of API planned or if you have any documentation which shows possible outside interactions, which I could call to change Lighting.

Thanks!

Hi @jqlifice! I do not intend to add an API for controlling this extension. The only interface is the menu. I would suggest you search the Internet for e.g. hue python API or something similar. Although I did not try such an API, I know some exist...

Hi @vchlum thanks for the response, I was hoping to solve it just by shell commands and not having to write my own application, but Ill find a way to get it done. Thanks for your swift response!
