pip install HueBLE
HueBLE consists of a single file (HueBLE.py) which you can simply put in the same directory as your program. If you are using manual installation make sure the dependencies are installed as well.
pip install bleak bleak-retry-connector
Example code from example.py
import asyncio
from bleak import BleakScanner
import HueBLE
async def main():
# Address of light to connect to
address = "F6:9B:48:A4:D2:D8"
# Obtain the BLEDevice from bleak
device = await BleakScanner.find_device_by_address(address)
# Initialize the light object
light = HueBLE.HueBleLight(device)
# Optionally we could call connect but it will be called automatically
# on the first request to the light. You might want to call this if
# you want to subscribe to state changes without changing the lights state.
# await light.connect()
# Will automatically connect to the light and turn it off
await light.set_power(False)
# Wait
await asyncio.sleep(5)
# Turn the light back on again
await light.set_power(True)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
