The latter is much brighter and warmer, this is probably better.

iDual light control

This folder contains some tooling for controlling iDual LED lights (which use infrared controls) using a "Broadlink RM Pro" infrared controller.

The supported colour codes of the iDual remote are stored in codes.txt.

The point of this is to make it possible for me to automate my lights in the morning, so that I can actually get out of bed.

Capturing codes

Capturing codes is relatively easy, assuming that the broadlink device is set up:

import broadlink
import base64

devices = broadlink.discover(timeout=5)
devices[0].auth()

For each code, the procedure is as follows:

devices[0].find_rf_packet()
# wait until this returns True

devices[0].check_data()
# this will return the code
