Simple Christmas Tree Script for Philips Hue
Posted: Sunday 29 November 2015 18:20
Hi, I just finished working in a Christmas Tree script and now sharing it as someone may want to do something similar. I've two Philips Living Whites plugs each controlling one row of lights. I created a group for the lights and two bash scripts. Do you have any suggestion on how to improve the scripts?
The on action passes a time to turn off the tree lights to the script and sends it to the background (as it may run for many hours):
The off action script kills the script running in background and makes sure the lights are off:
The group is controlled by timers.
