# Philips Hue Remote Control API This is the unofficial implementation of Philips Hue [Portal API](http://developers.meethue.com/5_portalapi.html). It allows remote control to Philips Hue from outside the local network. The work is based on [Hacking Lightbulbs: Security Evaluation of the Philips Hue Personal Wireless Lighting System](http://www.dhanjani.com/docs/Hacking%20Lighbulbs%20Hue%20Dhanjani%202013.pdf) by [Nitesh Dhanjani](http://www.dhanjani.com/about.html) The API server is running on top of [flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) python web framework. The API server is supposed to run in the cloud, so you can access it from anywhere. ## How Does This Remote API Work? I wrote a overview explanation of the remote API hack of the Philips Hue in a blog post here: [http://paulshi.github.io/technical/2013/11/27/Philips-Hue-Remote-API-Explained.html](http://paulshi.github.io/technical/2013/11/27/Philips-Hue-Remote-API-Explained.html) ## RESTful API Endpoint #### /api (Transparent API) Features: * PUT/POST works just like official API * GET will get info for all devices Limitations: * PUT/POST Response is always 200 * GET only works to root api endpoint (`/api`) The first limitation is due to the private endpoint on Philips Hue website side. It only gives response when it receives or rejects your command, but doesn't tell you whether it succeeded in executing it or not. Example: `PUT`/`POST` Official API Endpoint : /api/<username>/lights/<id>/state Official API Method: PUT Official API Data: {"ct":153, "colormode":"ct"} Custom API Endpoint : http://localhost:5000/api/lights/<id>/state Custom API Method: PUT Custom API Data: EXACT THE SAME AS ABOVE `GET` Custom API Endpoint: http://localhost:5000/api Custom API Method: GET It should in theory support all official PUT/POST API calls to the URL endpoint of `/api/username/*******` So any official `/api/username/**********` with method PUT/POST can be achieved using `http://localhost:5000/api/***********` with method PUT/POST ## Setup Fill in `credentials.py.sample` and rename it to ```credentials.py```, there are 2 parameters you need to fill: * `ACCESSTOKEN` * `BRIDGEID` Steps: 1. Find your `BRIDGEID` from [https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp](https://www.meethue.com/api/nupnp). (or in [My bridge](https://www.meethue.com/en-US/user/preferencessmartbridge) page on the meethue website and by clicking on "Show me more") 2. Get `ACCESSTOKEN` www.meethue.com/en-US/api/gettoken?devicename=iPhone+5&appid=hueapp&deviceid=**BRIDGEID** 3. **Right** click on "BACK TO THE APP" and write down `ACCESSTOKEN` inside the link it redirect to phhueapp://sdk/login/**ACCESSTOKEN** as explained in my [post](http://paulshi.github.io/technical/2013/11/27/Philips-Hue-Remote-API-Explained.html) mentioned earlier. ## Install Setup virtual environment ``` virtualenv ev source ev/bin/activate ``` Install required packages ``` pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ## Run ``` python hueapiserver.py ``` ## Documentation http://philips-hue-remote-api.readthedocs.org/ ## License ``` The MIT License (MIT) Copyright (c) 2013 Jarvis Inc (by Jianer Shi hipaulshi@gmail.com) Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
