A script to set my Hue lights from video conference and work modes quickly

autohue.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby

#
# See https://github.com/soffes/hue for deets on the API. This script requires
# the Gem be installed, which is documented at the same URL.

require 'hue'


#
# I created these maps by hand, inspecting my Hue configuration to see which
# light IDs were active and what their settings should be. You can change these
# to be whatever set of lights you want, and whatever parameters you want. The
# set_lights method will just iterate over the keys and set light state based
# on the contents of the inner map. It's like the fun never ends.
#
light_configs = {
  "work" => {
    1=> { brightness: 144, color_temperature: 467},
    4=> { brightness: 144, color_temperature: 467},
    5=> { brightness: 144, color_temperature: 467},
  },
  "call" => {
    1=> { brightness: 215, color_temperature: 153},
    4=> { brightness: 215, color_temperature: 153},
    5=> { brightness: 215, color_temperature: 153},
  }
}

def set_lights(client, config)
  config.each do |light_id, light_config|
    client.lights[light_id-1].set_state(light_config)
  end
end

#
# Run "autohue work" to set to work mode. "autohue call" sets lights to
# videoconference mode. Add other modes by expanding light_configs above.

client = Hue::Client.new
set_lights(client, light_configs[ARGV[0]])
