magichue 0.2.9.2

python-magichue
MagicHue (aka MagicHome) is a cheap smart led bulb that you can control hue/saturation/brightness and power over WiFi. They are available at Amazon or other online web shop.
I tested this library with RGB+WW+CW(v7), RGB(v8), RGB+WW(v8) bulbs.
Example
Rainbow cross-fade.
import time
import magichue

light = magichue.Light('192.168.0.20') # change to your address

light.on = True
light.is_white = False
light.saturation = 1
light.brightness = 255

for hue in range(1000):
light.hue = hue / 1000
time.sleep(0.05)

Installation
$ pip install magichue

Usage
import magichue.
import magichue

light = magichue.Light('192.168.0.20')

Discover Bulbs on LAN
from magichue import discover_bulbs

print(discover_bulbs()) # returns a list of bulb addresses

Power State
Getting Power Status
print(light.on) # => True if light is on else False

Setting Light On/Off
light.on = True
light.on = False

Getting Color
This shows a tuple of current RGB:
print(light.rgb) # (255, 127, 63)

or access individually:
print(light.r) # 255
print(light.g) # 127
print(light.b) # 63

White LEDs
If your bulbs support white LEDs, you can change the brightness (0-255) of white LEDs.
Enable the white led:
light.is_white = True

If white led is enabled, you can't change color of bulb!
You will need to disable it before you can change the color.
Disable the white led:
light.is_white = False

Warm White (ww)
light.cw = 0
light.w = 255

Cold White (cw)
light.w = 0
light.cw = 255

Setting Color
Red, Green, Blue (RGB)
Assign all colors with a tuple of integers:
light.rgb = (128, 0, 32)

or assign each color individually with an integer:
light.r = 200
light.g = 0
light.b = 32

Hue, Saturation, Brightness (HSB)
Hue and saturation are float values from 0 to 1.
Brightness is a integer value from 0 to 255.
light.hue = 0.3
light.saturation = 0.6
light.brightness = 255

Note About Stripe Bulb
Stripe bulb doesn't seem to allow jumping to another color when you change color.
To disable the fading effect,
light.rgb = (128, 0, 20) # Fades to set color
light.allow_fading = False # Set to True by default
light.rgb = (20, 0, 128) # Jumps to set color

Changing Modes
MagicHue bulb has built-in patterns.
Check current mode:
print(light.mode) # <Mode: NORMAL>
print(light.mode.name) # 'NORMAL'
print(light.mode.value) # 97

Set current mode:
light.mode = magichue.RAINBOW_CROSSFADE

These are the built-in modes:
RED_GRADUALLY
GREEN_GRADUALLY
BLUE_GRADUALLY
YELLOW_GRADUALLY
PURPLE_GRADUALLY
WHITE_GRADUALLY
BLUE_GREEN_GRADUALLY

RAINBOW_CROSSFADE
RED_GREEN_CROSSFADE
RED_BLUE_CROSSFADE
GREEN_BLUE_CROSSFADE

RAINBOW_STROBE
GREEN_STROBE
BLUE_STROBE
YELLOW_STROBE
BLUE_GREEN_STROBE
PURPLE_STROBE
WHITE_STROBE

RAINBOW_FLASH
NORMAL

Changing The Speed of a Mode
The instance member speed is a float value from 0 to 1:
light.speed = 0.5 # set speed to 50%

Creating Custom Modes
You can create custom light flash patterns.
Mode:
MODE_JUMP
MODE_GRADUALLY
MODE_STROBE

Speed: A float value 0 to 1.
Colors: A list of RGB tuples. Max length of 17 tuples.
from magichue import (
CustomMode,
MODE_JUMP,
)

# Creating Mode
mypattern1 = CustomMode(
mode=MODE_JUMP,
speed=0.5,
colors=[
(128, 0, 32),
(100, 20, 0),
(30, 30, 100),
(0, 0, 50)
]
)

# Apply Mode
light.mode = mypattern1

Other features are in development.
