Lightsd: a daemon with a JSON-RPC API to control your bulbs

I just released 1.1.0 yesterday, it adds:

  • syslog support;
  • packaging for Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian/OpenWRT;
  • better support for old-school init system with the --pidfile option: here is a LSB init script for lightsd.

Checkout the updated installation instructions and the full changelog at The lights daemon documentation — lightsd 1.1.2 documentation.

Next, I’ll be working on 1.2.0 with:

  • transition support for power{On,Off,Toggle} (GH-5);
  • performance/reliability improvements by limiting broadcast traffic.

With an expected release date around the very end of the year.

Any question or remark, let me know!
