Setup

sudo npm install raw-hue-api

For global setup:

sudo npm -g i raw-hue-api

Usage

In order to use this api, you will need to know the IP address of the Hue Bridge and have or create a local username

const api = require('raw-hue-api');
api.init('IP_OF_HUE_BRIDGE', 'USERNAME');
 
api.listSensors()

let ip = "MY_HUE_BRIDGE_IP";
let myapp = "IORIVER#MY_HOME_NAME"; //max 40 characters
api.newUser(ip,myapp).then((d)=>{
