mqtt-hue-bridge

This node.js server listens on MQTT messages for lights and translates it to the philips hue bridge

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/iomax/mqtt-hue-bridge.git
$ cd mqtt-hue-bridge
$ npm install

Using

Start up the server by editing the config.js first to suit your needs

$ $EDITOR config.js
$ node server.js

Or by using environment variables

$ MQTT_HOSTNAME="192.168.0.1" HUE_HOSTNAME="192.168.0.2" HUE_USERNAME=$(whoami) node server.js

Publish some MQTT messages to try it out (I use mosquitto server for this, but whatever MQTT server should work)

$ mosquitto_pub -m "on" -t "light/all/state"
$ mosquitto_pub -m "off" -t "light/1/state"
$ mosquitto_pub -m "toggle" -t "light/1/state"
$ mosquitto_pub -m "50" -t "light/2/brightness"

An empty message will produce a JSON object detailing the status of the lamp.
