Constants
​maxBrightness​
Signature
hs.milight.maxBrightness
Type
Constant
Description

hs.milight.new(ip[, port]) -> bridge
Type
Constructor
Description
Creates a new bridge object, which will be connected to the supplied IP address and port
Parameters
ip - A string containing the IP address of the MiLight WiFi bridge device. For convenience this can be the broadcast address of your network (e.g. 192.168.0.255)
port - An optional number containing the UDP port to talk to the bridge on. Defaults to 8899
Returns
An hs.milight object
Notes
You can not use 255.255.255.255 as the IP address, to do so requires elevated privileges for the Hammerspoon process
Methods

None
​disco​
Signature
