How to install (python script and shell)

• Connect your Milight 3.0 wifi bridge to your wifi network (install the android app and follow the instruction: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irainxun.wifilight)
• Get IP address and port of the wifi bridge (ip can be found from your internet box, default port is 5987)
• Be sure the PC is linked to your wifi bridge (light on the bulbs max 3sec before calling python3 MilightWifiBridge.py --ip 192.168.1.23 --zone 1 --link)
• Load your shell or python script

Note:

• You can install this library as a package using pip install MilightWifiBridge (or python setup.py install command in root folder).
• You can launch unit-test using python setup.py test command in root folder.
