photons-interactor 0.6.0

A server for interacting with LIFX lights over the LAN

A Photons powered server for interacting with LIFX lights over the lan.

The server allows us to do continuous discovery and information gathering so that all commands are super fast.

You can find documentation at https://photons-interactor.readthedocs.io

Installation and use

Make sure you have a version of python greater than python3.6 and do:

$ python -m venv .interactor
$ source .interactor/bin/activate
$ pip install lifx-photons-interactor
$ photons-interactor serve

Running from a docker container

If you’re not on a mac and want to run via a docker container, you can say:

$ docker run -it --rm --net=host delfick/photons-interactor:0.6.0

Running from the code

You can find the code at https://github.com/delfick/photons-interactor

Once you’ve checked it out you can start the server by installing python3.6 or above and running:

$ pip3 install venvster
$ ./interact server

You can also find a handy script for running commands against the server in this repository called command.

For example:

$ ./command query '{"pkt_type": "GetColor"}'
{
    "results": {
        "d073d5001337": {
            "payload": {
                "brightness": 1.0,
                "hue": 0.0,
                "kelvin": 3500,
                "label": "",
                "power": 65535,
                "saturation": 0.0
            },
            "pkt_name": "LightState",
            "pkt_type": 107
        }

}
