Mathijs Futselaar - Sr. (Web)Developer

I needed a simple command-line tool to control my Hue with. There's not much to say about that other than that you can download it from my GitHub repository.

Recently I made the concious decision to move from Windows to Linux permanently, after running it in a dual boot system for years. I might explain why in a future post, but for now I just want to share something simple that I made.

One of the tools in Windows that I would always install first was f.lux. It theoretically works on Linux, but as the developer said on the Github repository, it is barely maintained and you should use something else instead.

I ended up using gammastep, since this is a lightweight service that works on Wayland and changes the temperature gradually (this was a big requirement for me). The only f.lux feature it was missing (and one I use a lot) was to "temporarily disable" it.
