This guide assumes you own a Hubitat Elevation home automation controller.

If you are interested in purchasing one, you can purchase a unit from the manufactures website at hubitat.com or from Amazon.com

• Setup env file

cp .env.example .env

• Fill in API keys in the .env file
  • See Maker API Documentation for how to add the MakerAPI application and to generate new API keys
  • If you are using the cloud API endpoint for access, you will ALSO need to include the Cloud API key as well

• You will need to deploy the application on a Linux VM with Docker installed
• The easiest thing to do is to copy your .env file and let Docker Compose handle the rest
• Just make sure to remove it after you've deployed, so you don't leave your API keys lying around :-)
• Having SSH keys setup will make the deployment easier
• You can also just copy the whole repo over manually and run the below docker commands

# You can run this from the repo root, just fill in your VM name
rsync -av --filter=':- .gitignore' . root@YOUR_VM:/pl_dev/
rsync .env root@YOUR_VM:/pl_dev/.env
ssh root@YOUR_VM 'cd /pl_dev/; docker-compose build; docker-compose up -d;' # Setup Env on remote box
rsync -av --delete --filter=':- .gitignore' . root@YOUR_VM:/pl_dev/

• You will need to setup a Rule Machine action on the Hubitat itself https://docs2.hubitat.com/en/apps/rule-machine
  • This action should do a GET request to the HTTP API Server running on Docker
  • You will want to GET to the /start endpoint

• Profit!
• You now have a color changing light bulb based on image keywords!
