Lua-Builder-for-LIFX-Ruby-HTTP-API

This is a Lua script generator for managing LIFX bulbs via Vera Scenes, making use of the unofficial LIFX Ruby HTTP API, https://github.com/chendo/lifx-http

1. Get A Raspberry Pi (or other *nix computer that you're happy with keeping on all the time)
2. Ensure it has a static IP on your local network - otherwise if the IP keeps changing, this won't work too well. For mine, the IP is 192.168.1.221
3. Ruby v2.0 (Raspbian has an older version, so I had to follow these instructions to get 2.0 installed: (http://jam.im/blog/2013/03/03/installing-ruby-2-and-rvm-on-a-raspberry-pi/) (this took forever to finsih!!)
4. Make sure root can see the new file by changing the /bin/ruby binary to point to the new ruby that is placed somewhere obscure in your own folder. For me, it: /home/cdrum/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.3/bin/ruby
5. The (unofficial) Ruby HTTP API for controlling LIFX bulbs: https://github.com/chendo/lifx-http (and follow those instructions on getting it installed).

Then all you do is run this command an copy and paste the output in the Luup Lua scene settings.
