philipshue

Library for interacting with the Hue API in order to manipulate Hue lights.

The goal of this library is to provide a easy way of interacting with the Hue API.

Current features

• Discover bridge by querying the Philips Hue website
• Find all lights connected to a bridge
• Simple actions on the lights (e.g. turn on and off and setting the colour)

Building

When building, you might encounter problems with OpenSSL. You may have to manually tell Rust where OpenSSL is located through environment variables. Have a look at the README of rust-openssl for more help.

On macOS

bash export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib

On Windows

batch set OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\OpenSSL\include set OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=C:\OpenSSL\lib set OPENSSL_LIBS=ssleay32:libeay32

Install OpenSSL-101u from http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. Make sure to install it in the same directory as written in the environment variables (in the case of this example: C:\OpenSSL\).
