hue-light-show

A simple scripting engine for creating light shows synchronised to music. Works with Phillips Hue out of the box, with music played over AirPlay. Could be easily adapted to other devices.

Usage

1. Place songs/videos in an "assets" folder.
2. Place light show scripts in the "scripts" folder (look at Demo.ls)
3. Run "node index.js scripts/Demo.ls"

Light Script Format

This format is still evolving, but is based on pure JavaScript with some basic extensions to allow commands to be executed at specific times.

eg.

AIRPLAY_TARGET = "Bedroom"; //Enter the name of your Apple TV or AirPlay speakers
BEAT_DURATION = 38.11 / 80; //Measure this for your song

//Define Hue Light + Group IDs
BEDROOM_GROUP = 6;
BEDROOM_1 = 20;
BEDROOM_2 = 19;
BEDROOM_3 = 21;
BEDROOM_4 = 22;
...

//Define the Show!
@0.03b0  hueApi.setLightState(BEDROOM_1, S_PURPLE);
@0.03b1  hueApi.setLightState(BEDROOM_2, S_GREEN);
@0.03b2  hueApi.setLightState(BEDROOM_3, S_PURPLE);
@0.03b3  hueApi.setLightState(BEDROOM_4, S_GREEN);

@2.00b4  console.log("executed 2 seconds into the song + 4 * BEAT_DURATION");
