OpenHue CLI

Control Philips Hue lights and scenes via a Hue Bridge from the terminal.

Prerequisites

# Linux (pre-built binary — releases ship tarballs, not bare binaries)
curl -sL "https://github.com/openhue/openhue-cli/releases/latest/download/openhue_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz" \
  | tar -xz -C ~/.mibyan/cache/scratch openhue \
  && install -m 0755 ~/.mibyan/cache/scratch/openhue ~/.local/bin/openhue
# (use openhue_Linux_arm64.tar.gz on ARM64)

# macOS
brew install openhue/cli/openhue-cli

First run requires pressing the button on your Hue Bridge to pair. The bridge must be on the same local network.

When to Use

“Turn on/off the lights”
“Dim the living room lights”
“Set a scene” or “movie mode”
Controlling specific Hue rooms, zones, or individual bulbs
Adjusting brightness, color, or color temperature

Notes

Bridge must be on the same local network as the machine running Mibyan
First run requires physically pressing the button on the Hue Bridge to authorize
Colors only work on color-capable bulbs (not white-only models)
Light and room names are case-sensitive — use openhue get light to check exact names
Works great with cron jobs for scheduled lighting (e.g. dim at bedtime, bright at wake)
