Hue Twitch-Bot Connection

The http-API for calling sequences runs on port 8000. The response to every http request to the API is defined in the response.txt file (default is a single space character).
The light sequences are defined in the sequences.json file.

Defining Sequences in sequences.json

Key	Description
“type”: “light”	“sleep”	Action type. Use light-id, r, g, b, transitionTime or light-id, h, s, v, transitionTime for type light. Use duration for type sleep.
“duration”: 0-2147483647	Do nothing for x milliseconds
“light-id”: 0 to (lightCount - 1)	-1	-1 is for selecting all lights
“r” “g” “b”: 0-255	-1	-1 is for setting the value from before executing the sequence
“h”: 0-360	-1 is for setting the value from before executing the sequence
“s” “v”: 0.0-1.0	-1 is for setting the value from before executing the sequence
“transitionTime”: 0,1,2,3,4….	Transition time in 100ms steps

Example

{
  "sequences":{
    "sequenceName1": [
      { "type": "light", "light-id": 1, "r": 0, "g": 0, "b": 0, "transitionTime": 0},
      { "type": "sleep", "duration": 5000},
      { "type": "light", "light-id": 1, "r": -1, "g": -1, "b": -1, "transitionTime": 500}
    ],
    "sequenceName2":    [
      { "type": "light", "light-id": 1, "r": 255, "g": 255, "b": 255, "transitionTime": 0},
      { "type": "sleep", "duration": 50},
      { "type": "light", "light-id": 1, "r": -1, "g": -1, "b": -1, "transitionTime": 0}
    ]
  }
}

Deployment

Java 11+

The changes in the licence model and the distribution of java made by oracle made it necessary to bundle a Java JRE with the Application. Furthermore it is not possible to use the OracleJDK anymore. Instead it is needed to use a OpenJDK version. Since Java 11 OracleJDK and OpenJDK are functionally identical, but differ in the license. Basically OracleJDK is now only for paid customers of Oracle while OpenJDK is completely free to use. (no claim for correctness)

Building the custom JRE

A custom JRE can be built with the jlink tool included in the OpenJDK 11.

Download javafx-jmods from https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/
Extract to a folder of your choice.
Add all needed modules to the following command.
jlink —module-path “[javafx-jmods folder]” —add-modules java.base,javafx.controls,jdk.httpserver —output jre-11-huedeepbot —strip-debug —compress 2 —no-header-files —no-man-pages
You now have your own jre in the jre-11-huedeepbot folder.

Building the application

Since version 0.0.13 the gradle build system is used. Gradle version 5.1.1.

To build the application first run the build task the the createExe task.
Copy the huesdk.dll from ./[project folder]/lib to ./[project folder]/build/launch4j/lib
Remove the huetwitchbotsconnection.jar in ./[project folder]/build/launch4j/lib
Copy the jre-11-huedeepbot folder to ./[project folder]/build/launch4j/lib
Copy the sequences.json and the response.txt from ././[project folder] to ./[project folder]/build/launch4j
Copy folder ./[project folder]/icons to ./[project folder]/build/launch4j/icons and remove the icon.ico file.
Create a folder named persistence in ./[project folder]/build/launch4j
Rename/copy the launch4j folder to HueDeepbot-[version] and zip it.

For debugging the HueDeepbot.exe change headerType from ‘gui’ to ‘console’ in the build.gradle file.
