HuueyRemote

Installation

1. Include HuueyRemote framework into your workspace

2. Import HuueyRemote to any file that needs Huuey()

   import HuueyRemote
   

3. Create a class variable for Huuey() and a variable to hold connection status

   var huuey: Huuey = Huuey()
   var setup: Bool = false
   

Setup bridge instructions

1. Since we need to make sure you have an active connection to the bridge you need to run through the intial setup at least one time before you can use Huuey(). In your viewDidLoad() run the following code:

   if huuey.isReady() {
       self.setup = true
   }
   

   This will verify if you have a connection to the bridge, if you do it sets setup to true

2. If setup == false. Then we need to discover your bridge on your network and generate API keys

   Inside of your viewDidAppear() put the following code:

   override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()
       // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
       
       if !self.setup {
           huuey.setupWithTimeout(60) { (bridgeState) -> Void in
               dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                   switch bridgeState {
                   case .BridgeNotFound:
                       // We couldn't find the bridge on the network.
                   case .Connected:
                       // Object has connection to the bridge.
                   case .Disconnected:
                       // Device is disconnected.
                   case .Failed:
                       // Either the user missed there chance to press the button or we got invalid json.
                   case .NeedAuth:
                       // Let the user know they need to press the blue activation button.
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   }
   

Modify light instructions

1. After you know you have an active connection to the bridge run:

   self.huuey.getData()
   

   This function will scan your bridge and grab any lights/scenes it finds and populate the public variables:

   self.huuey.lights
   self.huuey.scenes
   

   self.huuey.setup() gets ran whenever you initialize a new Huuey() object, only call manually if you need to update the array of lights/scenes

2. Huuey() exposes the following functions for controlling your lights:

   public func set(scene: HuueyScene)
   public func set(on: Bool, lights: AnyObject)
   public func set(hue:Int, sat:Int, bri:Int, lights:AnyObject)
   public func setBrightness(bri: Int, light: HuueyLight)
   public func get(type: HuueyGet, id: Int) -> AnyObject
   

   Example of setting a scene active:

   self.huuey.set(self.huuey.scenes[0])
   

   Example of setting light(s) on/off:

   // Sets all lights on
   self.huuey.set(true, self.huuey.lights)
   
   // Sets all lights off
   self.huuey.set(false, self.huuey.lights)
   
   // Sets specific light on
   self.huuey.set(true, self.huuey.lights[0])
   
   // Sets specific light off
   self.huuey.set(true, self.huuey.lights[0])
   

   Example of light(s) brightness

   // Sets all lights brightness
   setBrightness(bri: 255, light: self.huuey.lights)
   
   // Sets specifc lights brightness
   setBrightness(bri: 255, light: self.huuey.lights[0])
   

   Example of setting light(s) on/off:

   // Sets all lights color
   self.huuey.set(hue:65000, sat:255, bri:255, lights:self.huuey.lights)
   
   // Sets a specifc lights color
   self.huuey.set(hue:65000, sat:255, bri:255, lights:self.huuey.lights[0])
   

   Example of getting details about a specific light (Only single lights are supported right now)

   var light = self.huuey.get(HuueyGet.Light, id: self.huuey.lights[0].getId())
