```dashdown``` is a small tool to shutdown multiple things on the press of an amazon-dash-button.

Right now it supports:

- yamaha-avr's

- philips-hue

- HDMI CEC over libcec

## Usage

__1. Clone the Repo__

```bash

git clone https://github.com/maxjoehnk/dashdown.git

```

__2. Install dependencies__

```bash

npm i

```

__3. Search for your Dash Button__

To do this you can use the ```findbutton``` script provided by ```node-dash-button```:

```bash

sudo npx findbutton

```

Now press your dash-button and add the listed address to your config file.

__4. Configure targets__

Add the addresses of the targets you wanna shutdown to the config file.

You don't need to add the username field for the philips-hue, this will be auto populated when you first start ```dashdown```

__5. Connect Hue Bridge (optional)__

When you wanna connect to a hue bridge press the connect button on your bridge before starting ```dashdown```. When the message ```Setup Complete``` appears the hue.username field of your config should be populated.

__6. Start ```dashdown```__

```bash

npm start

```

This may fail with a message like ```Error: (cannot open BPF device) /dev/bpf0: Permission denied```.

To solve this run dashdown as an administrator

```bash

sudo npm start

```

## Configuration

```json

{

    "avr": "",

    "dash": "",

    "hue": {

        "ip": "",

        "username": ""

    },

    "cec": ""

}

```
