An open-source and cross-platform app for the Hue Lighting System from Philips - built on Electron.
While there are many mobile-apps available for the lighting system from Philips, only few "traditional" desktop-apps can be found.
Since most of these desktop-apps are closed-source and only available for Windows / Mac, I've decided to create an open-source app which will run on all popular systems; including Linux.
Also, this is my first Electron-app; so it served as some kind of playground for me. 😉
The current feature-set includes:
- easy management of ...
- bridges
- users
- lights
- groups
- (scenes)
- (sensors)
- (schedules)
- (rules)
- quick-actions (set state/color/brightness with one mouse-click)
- show detailed information about each light, group, etc.
huElectron is still at an early development stage; the following features will be implemented in future releases:
- manage portal services
- implement discovery of new lights/sensors
- enhance management of bridges, sensors, scenes, schedules, and rules
Oh, and although I've tried to make the app look somewhat decent by extensively using Bootstrap, of course there's always room for improvement/beautification. So any help/contribution from web-design-wizards is highly welcome. 😃
Prebuilt binaries for all target platforms can be found in the releases-section of this repository.
