hue-bridge-backup

Backup and restore Philips Hue bridge configuration in raw JSON for easy editing.

Motivation

I have a number of complex Labs configured and I was looking for a way to backup (and modify?) and restore configuration on my Hue Bridge. The Hue app doesn't offer any backup options, but does provide a way to wipe the current configuration and automatically restore lights and groups.

Installation

npm install @klutchell/hue-bridge-backup

Usage

$ index.js --help

Usage: index.js <cmd> [options]

Commands:
  index.js backup   Backup data to a local directory
  index.js restore  Restore data from a local directory

Options:
  -c, --config-file  Path to JSON config file
  -b, --bridge-ip    Hue bridge address:port                 [string] [required]
  -u, --bridge-user  Hue bridge user                         [string] [required]
  -d, --backup-dir   Path to Hue backup directory                       [string]
  -e, --endpoints    Hue endpoints list
   [array] [required] [choices: "config", "groups", "lights", "rules", "scenes",
               "schedules", "sensors"] [default: ["rules","schedules","scenes"]]
  -h, --help         Show help                                         [boolean]
  -v, --version      Show version number                               [boolean]
