Elgato from the shell

Once the lamp joined my local WLAN network (and I know the IP address), I use this script for controlling it.

Requirements

• You must have cURL and jq installed. (sudo apt-get install jq curl)

• The script sets a local ELGATO_KEY_LIGHT_IPADDRESS variable. Tweak that part to your needs.

Manual

• e turns it on or off

• Brightness

  • e + increases the brightness

  • e - decreases the brightness

• Color tempreature

  • e 1 selects the coldest color temperature

  • e 2 selects a medium color temperature

  • e 3 selects the warmest color temperature

• Identify the light

  • e i makes the light blink three times
