This gem is a wrapper around the Nanoleaf Open API (http://forum.nanoleaf.me/docs/openapi). It provides a wrapper around all the main API functions and also adds some advanced color commands so you can set the color of the tiles by named colors, hex values or rgb values. It is a work in progress and will be kept up to date with the Open API.

Rhythm commands and the ability to upload animations will be added shortly.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nanoleaf_ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install nanoleaf_ruby

Gem version 1.0.x is up to date with Nanoleaf Open API v1 (2.2.0)

require 'nanoleaf_ruby'

api = NanoleafRuby::Api.new(ip_address: 191.161.1.1:16021, token: 'foobar')

api.brightness_up

Note that you can initialize the api client with the IP address and token or you can include them in your env by setting ENV['NANOLEAF_API_TOKEN'] and ENV['NANOLEAF_IP_ADDRESS'] and it will be pulled in automatically.

Most successful PUT responses from the Open API come back as 204.

Method responses from the API client will always be a ruby hash and look something like

{:data=>{},
 :success=>true,
 :code=>204,
 :raw=>{:body=>nil, :params=>{:brightness=>{:value=>10, :duration=>10}}}}

If a method sends back a JSON object, you'll get it under [:data] (for example, #effect_list sends back an array of effect titles). You'll also always have access to the original response under [:raw][:body] and be able to inspect the params sent to the Open API under [:raw][:params]. If [:success] is false there will be an error message included as well.

api.info returns all the info from your panels

api.on turns the Nanoleaf panel on

api.off turns the Nanoleaf panel off

api.toggle toggles the current power status of the Nanoleaf panel

api.color_mode returns the current color mode

api.identify flashes your panel

api.set_brightness(value, duration = nil) sets the brightness of the panel. When passed a second argument it will transition to that brightness over that number of seconds.

api.brightness_increment(increment = 1) allows you to pass a positive or negative value to increment the current brightness

api.brightness_up(increment = 1) pass a number to increase the brightness by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.brightness_down(increment = 1) pass a number to decrease the brightness by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.get_brightness gets the current brightness level of the panel

api.set_hue(value) sets the hue of the panel.

api.hue_increment(increment = 1) allows you to pass a positive or negative value to increment the current hue

api.hue_up(increment = 1) pass a number to increase the hue by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.hue_down(increment = 1) pass a number to decrease the hue by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.get_hue gets the current hue level of the panel

api.set_ct(value) sets the ct of the panel.

api.ct_increment(increment = 1) allows you to pass a positive or negative value to increment the current ct

api.ct_up(increment = 1) pass a number to increase the ct by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.ct_down(increment = 1) pass a number to decrease the ct by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.get_ct gets the current ct level of the panel

api.set_ct(value) sets the ct of the panel.

api.ct_increment(increment = 1) allows you to pass a positive or negative value to increment the current ct

api.ct_up(increment = 1) pass a number to increase the ct by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.ct_down(increment = 1) pass a number to decrease the ct by that amount, defaults to 1 without an argument

api.get_ct gets the current ct level of the panel

api.get_rgb returns the current r,g,b value of the panel

api.set_color(string) allows you to set a color value from a name or a hex value -- for example set_color('red') or set_color('#FFF') or set_color('#33FF33')

api.set_rgb(r, g, b) allows you to pass an rgb value directly -- for example set_rgb(123,100,200)

api.effects_list returns an array of strings that correspond to the names of all the effects on your Nanoleaf

api.choose_effect(string) changes the effect if it matches the name of one of the effects

api.random_effect changes the effect to a random effect

api.delete_auth_token removes the auth token you are using from the Nanoleaf (danger!)

api.generate_auth_token returns a new auth token if the Nanoleaf has been set into the new user mode (hold the power button for 5 seconds until the light starts blinking)

note: If you are setting up the panel for the first time and you know the IP address but don't have a token, you can instantiate the API with a bogus string for the token and still run this command, however no other command will work

api = NanoleafRuby::Api.new(ip_address: '192.161.1.1:16021', token: 'foobar')
api.generate_auth_token

To include rake tasks in a ruby app, create a Rakefile and put the following in it. Rails should get the task automatically.

spec = Gem::Specification.find_by_name 'nanoleaf_ruby'
load "#{spec.gem_dir}/lib/tasks/rake_tasks.rb"

rake 'nanoleaf:generate_token['192.168.1.1:16021']'

If you want to generate an auth token via rake, just enter the ip address of your panel here (or have it set in ENV['NANOLEAF_API_TOKEN']

rake 'nanoleaf:autodiscover will attempt to find your panel(s) via SSDP and print out information about them to the screen (including their IP addresses). I've had mixed luck with it showing up consistently.

If you want to drop straight into a console just run bin/console
