Features

• Emulate a Philips Hue Light Bulb
• Control your devices with Alexa Echo
• Asyncronous processing

Installation

• Install Python 3.11 or higher
• And: pip install echohue

Usage

Create a hub object and add devices to it. Then run the hub.

Hub

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description	Default
debug	bool	Enable debug mode	False

Methods

Method	Args	Description
add	Device	Add a device to the hub
run	-	Run the hub

Example

async with Hub() as hub:
    hub.add(Device('Test Device', True, 254))
    await hub.run()

Device

Has to return True or None if the override was successful, otherwise False.

Note: if the override returns false, the device value will not be updated. And Echo will receive an error. The same applies to if the task takes too long.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description	Default
name	str	The name of the device	-
on	bool	The state of the device	False
brightness	int (1-254)	The brightness of the device	1

Overrides

Override	Args	Description
on_on	-	Called when the device is turned on
on_off	-	Called when the device is turned off
on_bri	int (1-254)	Called when the brightness is changed
on_ct	int (153-500)	Called when the color temperature is changed
on_xy	tuple (float, float)	Called when the color is changed
on_hue	int (0-65535)	Called when the hue is changed
on_sat	int (0-254)	Called when the saturation is changed

Example

from echohue import Hub, Device
class Lamp(Device):
    def __init__(self, name, on, brightness):
        super().__init__(name, on, brightness)

    async def on_on(self):
        print('Lamp turned on')
    async def on_off(self):
        print('Lamp turned off')
    async def on_bri(self, bri):
        print(f'Lamp brightness changed to {bri}')

Example

This example will create a hub with a device called "Lamp" and print the state changes to the console.

import asyncio
from echohue import Hub, Device

class Lamp(Device):
    def __init__(self, name, on=True, brightness=1):
        super().__init__(name, on, brightness)

    async def on_on(self):
        print('Lamp turned on')
    async def on_off(self):
        print('Lamp turned off')
    async def on_bri(self, bri):
        print(f'Lamp brightness changed to {bri}')

async def main():
    async with Hub() as hub:
        hub.add(Lamp('Test Device'))
        await hub.run()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
