Some notes about the usage of hyperion

README.md

Here I can write down some notes

hyperionnexteffect.py

import requests
import json

# settings
url = 'http://192.168.2.154:8090/json-rpc'
effects=["Knight rider", "Atomic swirl", "Rainbow swirl fast"]

# create a session
s = requests.Session()

# Switch to effect instance
switchjson = {'command': 'instance', 'subcommand': 'switchTo', 'instance': 1 }
i = s.post(url, json = switchjson)

# Find out the active effect
activeEffectsJson = {'command': 'serverinfo', 'tan': 1 }
si = s.post(url, json = activeEffectsJson )
info = si.json()

j = 0
if len(info['info']['activeEffects']) > 0 :
    # body of if statement
    activeEffectName = info['info']['activeEffects'][0]['name']
    i = effects.index(activeEffectName)
    j = i+1

    # end of list reached
    if j >= len(effects) :
        j = 0


# Change effect
effectjson = {'command': 'effect', 'effect': {'name': effects[j]}, 'priority': 50 }
e = s.post(url, json = effectjson)

print (e.text)
