A command-line skill for controlling Philips Hue lights, rooms, zones, bulbs, and scenes through a Hue Bridge.

Use it to turn lights on or off, adjust brightness, set colours or colour temperature, and activate scenes.

It lets an agent manage home lighting from the terminal instead of changing each light manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00035	$0.00737
Opus 5	$0.00017	$0.00368
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00147
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00074

Security

Grade A, and why

openhue scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

OpenHue CLI

Control Philips Hue lights and scenes via a Hue Bridge from the terminal.

Prerequisites

# Linux (pre-built binary)
curl -sL https://github.com/openhue/openhue-cli/releases/latest/download/openhue-linux-amd64 -o ~/.local/bin/openhue && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/openhue

# macOS
brew install openhue/cli/openhue-cli

First run requires pressing the button on your Hue Bridge to pair. The bridge must be on the same local network.

When to Use

"Turn on/off the lights"
"Dim the living room lights"
"Set a scene" or "movie mode"
Controlling specific Hue rooms, zones, or individual bulbs
Adjusting brightness, color, or color temperature

# Everything off
openhue set room "Bedroom" --off
openhue set room "Office" --off
openhue set room "Living Room" --off

Notes

Bridge must be on the same local network as the machine running Zorro
First run requires physically pressing the button on the Hue Bridge to authorize
Colors only work on color-capable bulbs (not white-only models)
Light and room names are case-sensitive — use openhue get light to check exact names
Works great with cron jobs for scheduled lighting (e.g. dim at bedtime, bright at wake)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
