Control Philips Hue lights via OpenHue CLI + Hue Bridge API.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Philips Hue Smart Light Control

Control Philips Hue lights using the OpenHue CLI or the local Hue Bridge REST API. Works entirely on your local network — no cloud required.

## When to Use

- User wants to turn lights on or off
- User wants to change light color or brightness
- User wants to activate a Hue scene
- User wants to list all lights and their current state
- User wants to set up automation rules for lights

## How to Use

### 1. Install OpenHue CLI

```powershell
# Install via winget
winget install openhue.cli

# Or via npm
npm install -g openhue-cli

# Verify
openhue --version
```

### 2. First-time setup — discover and pair with Bridge

```powershell
# Discover the Hue Bridge on your network
openhue discover

# Pair (press the button on the Bridge within 30 seconds, then run)
openhue pair --host 192.168.1.x   # use IP from discover output

# Save credentials
openhue configure --host 192.168.1.x --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
```

### 3. List all lights

```powershell
openhue get lights
```

### 4. Turn lights on and off

```powershell
# Turn specific light on/off (by ID or name)
openhue set light "Living Room 1" --on true
openhue set light "Living Room 1" --on false

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/openhue@sha256:40cb35d3a4ebc770

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
