phue is a full-featured, dependency-free Python library for controlling the Philips Hue lighting system via the Hue Bridge API 1.0. It supports lights, groups, schedules, scenes, and sensors, and can be used procedurally or through object-oriented Light and Group objects.

Use cases

• control philips hue lights from python
• turn hue bulbs on and off programmatically
• set brightness and color of smart lights with a script
• register a python app with a hue bridge
• automate smart home lighting schedules and scenes
• read hue sensor data in python

When to choose

• you want a simple, single-file, zero-dependency Python client for the Hue API
• you need to control lights, groups, scenes, schedules, or sensors on Hue API 1.0
• you prefer both procedural and object-oriented interfaces for light control

When to avoid

• you need Philips Hue API v2 with Bluetooth or the new event-based streaming API
• you are controlling non-Hue smart lighting brands
• you need a language other than Python
