        HELIOTRON

=========

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/heliotron.png)](http://badge.fury.io/py/heliotron)

Heliotron is a simple library that talks to Philips Hue light bridges through

[a supported REST API][1]. It is currently a fairly rough work-in-progress.

Several use cases were the primary motivation for this library:

* I wanted a script that gradually changed color temperature of Philips Hue

  lighting on the same schedule as the popular [f.lux][2] utility. _(This is

  now available with the latest f.lux for Windows release.)_

* I'd like to switch on a subset of my lights around sunset/dusk, if they're

  not already on, so that I don't come home to a pitch dark apartment.

* The official Hue mobile apps won't let you store more than 3 active schedules

  on the bridge at a time, which is quite limited. This library provides the

  ability to write a simple script to switch or fade on a set of lights, and

  crontab it however you please.
