About diyHue
This Python project emulates a Hue Bridge. After Installation, it is possible to control and manage
– ZigBee lights (using Raspbee module, original Hue Bridge or IKEA Tradfri Gateway),
– Mi-Light bulbs (using MiLight Hub),
– Neopixel strips (WS2812B and SK6812) and
– any cheap ESP8266 based bulb by replacing the firmware with a custom one.
Written in Python, making it suitable to run on all small devices such as the RaspberryPi.
Arduino sketches are provided for the Hue Dimmer Switch, Hue Tap Switch and Hue Motion Sensor.
Lights are two-way synchronized so any change made from original Sensors and Switches will also be applied to the Bridge emulator.
