A little script for controlling Philips hue lightbulbs
Usage: helios [-g] target action
Specify a group of lights with '-g'
Target - The light or group you want to interact with (defined by an integer)
Actions: [on|off|toggle|status]
This certainly comes in handy for when you want to manually control your hue lights. It's extremely simple right now, but I plan on adding further functionality soon.
You could create launchers or menu's for ease of use. I've added a little drop-down menu to my desktop panel to control different lights, nice and clicky!
