Since I do not use the Light model (in the project where I require this package), someone else might want to create the Light model as a good first issue.

You can use the Group model as an example. Documentation about available calls is found here.

If there are any ideas or request, feel free to open a new issue so we can expand this wrapper :)

Create an interface for each response the API returns from the Hue API.

• Lights API
• Groups API
• Schedules API
• Scenes API
• Sensors API
• Configuration API
• Resourcelinks API
• Capabilities API

Not all methods of the Group model are mentioned in the docs yet.

The Hue public API has very prohibitive rate limiting nowadays. If you try and fail a few times, you will be unable to connect to your bridge for about an hour or so because you will get HTTP 429'd.

If UPnP was supported for discovery, this would solve that problem.

The Hue public API has pretty prohibitive rate limiting nowadays.

My use case requires me to instantiate a new context and a new connection often. The current implementation requires an ID, fetches all bridges on the network using the public Hue API and filters by what bridge matches the given ID.

In my use case that makes it so I would hit that API endpoint tens—if not hundreds—of times in an hour.

If I could connect to my bridge using a known IP address, that would be of much help.

Edit: The Hue Bridge Discovery has a flowchart that specifies the preferred way of discovering and connecting to bridges.
