The Philips Hue API is some tight-ass shit! I'm not particularly interested in the light bulbs-- maybe I'll give them a try --but the API for the motion sensor is brilliant. Simple, easy JSON responses to simple GET requests against a device-specific URL. I was able to throw together a working sensorcheck script in only a couple minutes.

    I've gotten it to send me an email when motion is detected in the garage, along with a gif of a 30 second video of whatever is causing the motion.

    After I get this working the way I want it, I'll start working on a telegram bot for notifications and controls.

    This is a fun project.

    Sounds cool! Especially the 30 second gif recording.
