• Connect Hardware (LEDs) and Powersupply

• Connect to ESP8266 WiFi (e.g. search for new WiFi on Smartphone) --> "Hue rgb strip"

• Browse 192.168.4.1 --> Connect ESP8266 to your local WiFi

• Check and browse local IP of ESP8266

Contribuiting

The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to diyHue Lights. These are mostly guidelines, not rules. Use your best judgment, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.

Building with travis

In order for your sketch to be built with travis, please upload only the sketch.ino file in a folder within the Arduino dir. Please make sure that the folder and sketch name are exactly the same, ignoring the extension. For example the sketch would be saved in Lights/Arudino/Generic_Fun_Light/ and called Generic_Fun_Light.ino.

Also within you PR, please create a commit to .travis.yml, adding a line in the matrix section. This should be in the format - SKETCH="YOUR_SKETCH_NAME_HERE". Following the above example, .travis.yml would look like:

...
 matrix:
    - SKETCH="Generic_RGBW_Light"
    - SKETCH="Generic_RGB_Light"
    - SKETCH="Generic_CCT_Light"
    - SKETCH="Generic_RGB_CCT_Light"
    - SKETCH="Generic_WS2812_Strip"
    - SKETCH="Generic_SK6812_Strip"
    - SKETCH="Generic_Fun_Strip"
...

Finaly, if your sketch requires any of the libraries not installed on this line of install.sh, then please add a commit adding them.
