# huElectron
> An open-source and cross-platform app for the [Hue Lighting System](https://www2.meethue.com) from _Philips_ - built on [Electron](https://electronjs.org).

## Motivation
While there are many mobile-apps available for the lighting system from _Philips_, only few "traditional" desktop-apps can be found.
Since most of these desktop-apps are closed-source and only available for _Windows_ / _Mac_, I've decided to create an open-source app which will run on all popular systems; including _Linux_.
Also, this is my first _Electron_-app; so it served as some kind of playground for me. :wink:
## Features
The current feature-set includes:
* easy management of ...
* bridges
* users
* lights
* groups
* (scenes)
* (sensors)
* (schedules)
* (rules)
* quick-actions (set state/color/brightness with one mouse-click)
* show detailed information about each light, group, etc.
## ToDo
_huElectron_ is still at an early development stage; the following features will be implemented in future releases:
* manage portal services
* implement discovery of new lights/sensors
* enhance management of bridges, sensors, scenes, schedules, and rules
Oh, and although I've tried to make the app look somewhat decent by extensively using [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com), of course there's always room for improvement/beautification.
So any help/contribution from web-design-wizards is highly welcome. :smiley:
## Binaries
Prebuilt binaries for all target platforms can be found in the [releases](https://github.com/4ch1m/huElectron/releases)-section of this repository.
## Build It Yourself
* Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/4ch1m/huElectron.git
```
* Change directory:
```
cd huElectron
```
* Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
* Now either ...
* build and **package** the app for Linux, Mac, and Windows with ...
```
npm run package
```
(The freshly compiled binaries can then be found in the _dist_-folder.)
* or just **start** it right away with ...
```
npm start
```
## Resources
hue product icons (mostly) taken from (or based on) the official _Icon Pack_:
* [https://developers.meethue.com/develop/application-design-guidance/icon-pack](https://developers.meethue.com/develop/application-design-guidance/icon-pack) (login needed)
Unfortunately this resource doesn't get updated by _Philips_ anymore (the latest release is from 2019). :worried:
