Configuration

You can create a template configuration file by running huunifie with only the -s flag.

You can also test values on one or more different arguments then, adding -s to update your configuration. Only values specified on the command line will be update in the config file.

Examples:

• Create a config file:

you@computer:~$ python3 -m huunifie -s -v -c /tmp/test_huunifie.conf
2018-12-10 21:55:38 [WARNING] : Configuration file /tmp/test_huunifie.conf not found.
2018-12-10 21:55:38 [   INFO] : Configuration saved to /tmp/test_huunifie.conf
2018-12-10 21:55:38 [  ERROR] : Unable to connect to the Unifi controller using https://localhost:8443
^C
you@computer:~$  cat /tmp/test_huunifie.conf
[general]
interval = 3
wifi_clients = 01:23:45:67:89:ab,your_device_hostname

[hue]
