node-bulb-api

Allows you to control a Revogi Smart Bulb on OSX or Linux.

This project was hacked together over a weekend and does not represent my programming ability. As such, it is a proof of concept project to demonstrate that NodeJS can be used to control BLE devices.

Requirements

• Linux or OSX (Windows is currently not supported)
• Bluetooth Low Energy (most BT4.0 devices are capable of BLE)
• NodeJS with NPM

Installation

1. Install the depencies using NPM:

npm install

2. Run node-bulb-api by

node server.js

3. Access the web interface on:

http://<your ip here>:3000

Homebridge

API for homebridge-better-http-rgb.

Example for Homebridge config file.
