# Physical Web Light Switch

This is a relativly simple wrapper round some of the work I've done to interact with Belkin WeMo lightbulbs

The creates a Eddystone beacon that broadcasts a URL for a web interface to switch a bulb on/off and set 

the brightness.

## Config

Config data goes in config.js. You can set the following:

 - The port the web server listens on

 - The short URL to broadcast

 - The device id of the bulb/group to control

 - The beacon name

The divice id is the id of the bridge + '-' + id of the bulb/group. This isn't the most userfriendly at the 

moment but it works.

```

module.exports = {

	deviceID: '231442B01005F2-94103EA2B27803ED',

	port: 3000,

	shortURL: 'https://s.loc/l'.

	name: 'Lights'

};

```

The deviceID is the serial number of the WeMo Bridge and the light/group id concatenated with a '-'. 

To run as a user other than root on Linux you will need to grant the NodeJS executable the right priveledges,

this can be done with this command:

```sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f `which node`)```

## TODO

 - Add Utility to print out device names and device id's to make creating the config file easier

 - Add current state to the web interface

 - Create basic Android App
