Groups

Brighter Together

Due to limitations in the Philips Hue API, we have to define groups client-side. Groups are defined in your config file:

groups:
  bedroom:
    - bedroom.hers
    - bedroom.his
  office:
    - office.desklamp
    - office.floorlamp

Introducing –group

Now you have groups configured, you can reference them with the -g/--group argument:

% hueman -g office on
% hueman -g bedroom,office off

Another Trick up –find’s Sleeve

Find can also reference groups:

% hueman -f office on
% hueman -f bedroom,office on

Note that when using find, groups will take precedence over lights.
