var HueUtil = require('hue-util');

var app = 'hue-util';

var ipAddress = '192.168.1.15'; // Use the ipAddress of the bridge or null

var username = null;

var hue = new HueUtil(app, ipAddress, username, onUsernameChange);

var options = {

  lightNumber: 0, // Light Number or Group Number

  useGroup: true, // To use group or not

  on: false, // Turn the light on or off

  color: 'red', // TinyColor2 color string  

  transitiontime: // A number to define transitiontime (optional)

  alert: undefined// Alert string (optional)

  effect: undefined // Effect string (optional)

};

// Change the lights

hue.changeLights(options, function(error, response){

  if(error != null) return console.error('Error changing lights', error);

  console.log('Response from changing lights', response);

});

// Check the sensors

hue.checkSensors(function(error, response){

  if(error != null) return console.error('Error checking sensors', error);

  console.log('Response from checking sensors', response);

});

// Check the states of the buttons on a hue button

var sensorName = 'SensorName'; // name of your sensor

hue.checkButtons(sensorName, function(error, response){

  if(error != null) return console.error('Error checking buttons', error);

  console.log('Response from checking buttons', response);

  // To prevent duplicates compare the different between the last state and the current state.

  // Button code will be conversion from the raw button code and will be a number between 1 and 4.

  // Response

  // {state: {...}, button: 1}

});

function onUsernameChange(newUsername){

  username = newUsername;

  // Store the username for future use

  // otherwise you'll be required to press the hue bridge link button again

}
