# pywalhue

A simple wrapper over pywal to integrate it with Philips Hue light system

## Getting Started

### How to use

Simply run `pywalhue -i ~/file/path/to/image` to generate a new colorscheme using pywal and trigger pywal-hue-hook to send an API request to Hue Bridge API.

You can use pywal-hue-hook directly:  

Running `pywal-hue-hook.py` will load the background color from last theme generated by pywal and send it to Hue Bridge API.  

You can also test the hook by providing a specific color in the hex format as the first argument, e.g. `pywal-hue-hook.py FF00FF`

### Configuration

To configure the script you need to provide 2 variables in pywal-hue-hook.py file:

- `BRIDGE_IP` - a string specifying IP address of the bridge, e.g. `'192.168.1.30'`

- `LIGHTS` - a string or a list of strings specifying name(s) of light(s) to be used

- Optionally, you can uncomment selected line responsible for calculating brightness level based on RGB input - by default lights will be set to 100% brightness 

Also, note that before first usage of the script you may need to press a bridge button to allow for registration of new API user.

### Requirements

- `python3`

- `pywal`

- `phue`

- `rgbxy`

To install required modules cd into repo directory and run the following comand:

`pip3 install -r requirements.py`

### Installation

Copy `pywalhue` and `pywal-hue-hook.py` to a directory listed in $PATH environment variable, e.g. `/usr/local/bin`
