How to set up SoundFlow, Stream Deck & Philips Hue

Thank you for the kind words, Gabriel.

The way I set up Hue with SF is by using a command line utility, and then invoking command line commands via SoundFlow’s “Execute System Command” action.

So the first step is to set up this command line utility.

There are various different ones, but I think I’m using this one:

It is written in Node.js, so you should start by installing node.js from here:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/

After Node.js is installed, you can run the “npm” installation command in there.

Next, follow the steps in the hue cli package so you can set up with the Hue bridge. This involves running “hue setup” from your command line after having pressed the bridge’s connect button.

Then you can start running stuff like “hue scene X” where X is the name of a scene you have designed for your Hue. Once this works in your Terminal, it’s just a matter of creating SoundFlow
macros to repeat these commands (via the Execute System Command action).
