Has anyone tried controlling a Philips Hue from a vintage Mac?
Just curious.

By the way, if someone wrote an AfterDark module for interacting with Philip Hue, that would be one of the most awesome things ever. 😀

Well here are the tools one would need for the module...

Writing some code to poke the Philips hue bridge wouldn’t be all that hard, it’s just a REST API, which could even be implemented in raw TCP if actual HTTP is difficult.Â

I might look into this since I’ve got a lot of modern programming experience, but back when I was using Mac OS 8/9 I was using REALBasic, which wasn’t really proper Mac programming, then or now (although I’ve not used XoJo so maybe I’m being a little unfair there!)

@aladds Ooo, thanks. I'm gonna archive that software.
Edit: Hehe. You've lead me down a rabbit hole using Archive.org to download and archive all the 3rd party & shareware modules released for AfterDark.

I still love the flying toasters (especially with the song!)

Ok so I sat down and eventually managed to get python (1.5.2) running on my SE/30.Â

At this point I had to make it work!
So I did. Python version this old do have their own quirks, however....
