Hue Control

Control Phillips Hue lights from your computer. No phone or Hue Bridge required!

Setup

Install uv and run the script with uvx huec.

Factory reset the lamp, then pair it using Bluetooth.

• Linux: pair with bluetoothctl. Then use huec
• macOS: just run the power on command once and you get a prompt to pair with the light. Pair and then after that the app can connect to your light.

Then use the cli tool to control hue light.

Make sure to pass the name of your light when controlling it.

Turn on your light with:

uv run main.py --device "Hue lightstrip" power on
