Webcandy Client

Client-side code for communicating with the Webcandy server and controlling lighting configuration. This should be run by the machine with LEDs connected to it via Fadecandy.

Installation

The easiest way to install is to run pip install webcandy-client. If you want the absolute latest code, you can clone this repository and run pip install -e . from the root directory.

Development

This project uses Pipenv for dependancy management. If you want to set up a development environment, make sure you have Pipenv installed and run pipenv install from the root directory.

Running

To run the client in order to receive lighting change requests from the server, use the wc-client executable:

$ wc-client <username> <password> <client_id>.

To manually change the lighting configuration offline, use the wc-controller executable:

$ wc-controller --file <config JSON path>

For usage information on either script, pass --help.
