Configure Hue Bridge

https://www.developers.meethue.com/documentation/getting-started

1. Find the IP address of your Hue Bridge by running node ./setup/getAddress.js
2. Navigate to the following url in a web broswer http://<your-ip>/debug/clip.html
3. Make a POST to the url /api/ with the following post to get a userId

{"devicetype":"my_hue_app#iphone clapper"}

4. Add lights to a group named CLAPPER using the Hue app.

Configure clapper

Now using the username from steps 3 in Configure Hue Bridge run node ./setup/ <your-userId> to generate a env.json file like the one shown below:

{
  "HUE_HOST": "X.X.X.X",
  "HUE_USER": "XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "GROUP_NAME": "CLAPPER"
}

Configuring Tessel

The Tessel must be connected to the same network as your hue bridge

1. npm install -g t2-cli
2. t2 list
3. t2 rename clapper
4. t2 init
5. t2 wifi -n <network-name> -p <password>
