hueJS is a JavaScript library, based on requireJS, Backbone, Underscore and jQuery.
All you need is to unzip the js folder of hueJS somewhere on your filesystem.
Let's say you have a HTML file ~/index.html and you installed hueJS into the same directory. Then create a main.js file in the existing ~/js directory. This is the file where you write your javascript code. You can then include ~/js/main.js in your HTML file via requireJS.
<script data-main="js/main.js" src="js/lib/require.js"></script>
A minimal HTML file could look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>my first hue project</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- content goes here -->
<script data-main="js/main.js" src="js/lib/require.js"></script>
</body>
</html>// ~/js/main.js
// require jquery and Hue class
requirejs(['lib/jquery', 'lib/hue/hue'], function($, Hue) {
// create instance of Hue
window.myHue = new Hue();
// connect to bridge
myHue.addBridge('192.168.2.109');
// when the API supports JSONP, Hue will automatically look for bridges in the network
// if a bridge authorizes the user, the 'connect' event is fired:
myHue.on('connect', function(bridge) {
// now we can do stuff with the bridge
console.log(bridge.get('ip') + ' connected with username ' + bridge.get('username'));
// for example, turn all lights that belong to the bridge, off!
// ...
});
});
