NOTE: This is early phase of development and not everything may be working properly.

First usage (server)

1. Install dependencies:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. Fill JSON config just like below: [server/src/config.json]:

{
    "devices": {
        "ELK-BLEDOM": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
    },
    "server": {
        "ip": "0.0.0.0",
        "port": 12345
    }
}

3. Let's try to run it:

./main.py

First usage (client)

There is no client app yet. Instead you can use the netcat tool to send JSON commands (UDP protocol):

netcat -u <ip> <port>

Examples

{"device": "ELK-BLEDOM", "command": "power", "value": true}
{"device": "ELK-BLEDOM", "command": "brightness", "value": 100} // values: <0-100>
{"device": "ELK-BLEDOM", "command": "color_rgb", "value": "ffffff"} // values: rrggbb
{"device": "ELK-BLEDOM", "command": "effect", "value": "GRADIENT_RGBYCMW"} // values: the list below
