##Examples:

Get a valid access code from the bridge:

  1. press the button on the bridge
  2. Run the following command: python3 hue.py --getuser yourusername
  3. The access code will be saved in the file accesscode, and used for next commands.

Make all lamps as bright as possible, and green:

python3 hue.py --hue 2 --bri 1

Show json response for a '/lights/2' http GET request:

python3 hue.py --get /lights/2

Continuously check for long 'off' button press on switch id=4, and loop hue of all lamps when pressed:

python3 hue.py --checklong0 4
