Philips Hue Programming, Off the Charts (Part 3 of 3)

In the second instalment of this series, I left you with a couple of useful scripts — one to fetch the device ID of a light, given a name, and one to perform the conversion from RGB to CIE colour. I developed those two scripts as necessary parts of what comes next. I have demonstrated […]
