olePigeon Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Has anyone tried controlling a Philips Hue from a vintage Mac? Just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olePigeon Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 By the way, if someone wrote an AfterDark module for interacting with Philip Hue, that would be one of the most awesome things ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aladds Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Well here are the tools one would need for the module... http://jamessignorile.com/program.html Writing some code to poke the Philips hue bridge wouldn’t be all that hard, it’s just a REST API, which could even be implemented in raw TCP if actual HTTP is difficult. I might look into this since I’ve got a lot of modern programming experience, but back when I was using Mac OS 8/9 I was using REALBasic, which wasn’t really proper Mac programming, then or now (although I’ve not used XoJo so maybe I’m being a little unfair there!)

olePigeon Posted October 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) @aladds Ooo, thanks. I'm gonna archive that software. Edit: Hehe. You've lead me down a rabbit hole using Archive.org to download and archive all the 3rd party & shareware modules released for AfterDark.

aladds Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I still love the flying toasters (especially with the song!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aladds Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Ok so I sat down and eventually managed to get python (1.5.2) running on my SE/30. At this point I had to make it work! So I did. Python version this old do have their own quirks, however.... IMG_0601.MOV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
