hue push client


Allows easy access to the push API of Philips Hue Bridge

Installation

npm install hue-push-client

Usage Example

``javascript
/**
* This example connects to a Hue Bridge and closes connection after 30 seconds
*/
const HuePushClient = require('hue-push-client');

const client = new HuePushClient({ip: '10.0.0.1', user: 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'});
setTimeout(() => {client.close();}, 30000);
client.addEventListener('open', function () {
console.log('connection opened');
});
client.addEventListener('close', function () {
console.log('connection closed');
});
client.addEventListener('error', function (e) {
console.log('error: ' + e.message);
});
client.addEventListener('message', function (message) {
if (!message.data) {
console.log('empty message');
return;
}
try {
let data = JSON.parse(message.data);
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
} catch (e) {
console.log('could not parse data');
return;
}
});
`
The data part of an incomming message looks like this:
`json
[
{
"creationtime":"2021-09-01T08:40:54Z",
"data":[
{
"id":"d231f405-baab-406e-0000-d345a1440000",
"id_v1":"/sensors/8",
"light":{
"light_level":10509,
"light_level_valid":true
},
"type":"light_level"
}
],
"id":"f15d7da4-f849-44c9-0000-afc54dbe0000",
"type":"update"
}
]
`

You can also retrieve a description of all UUID's that are used in update messages:
`javascript
/**
* Be aware that uuids() returns a promise
*/
async function getUUIDs() {
try {
let UUIDs = await client.uuids();
console.log(UUIDs);
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
};
getUUIDs();
