Philips Hue Thinking Indicator

Visual AI activity indicator β€” Connect your AI assistant's work status to your physical environment through Philips Hue smart lights.

What It Does

Turns a Philips Hue light into an AI activity indicator: Light StateMeaning🟒 GreenReady / Done / IdleπŸ”΄ Pulsing RedAI is thinking, analyzing, or planningπŸ”΄ Solid RedAI is actively building/working

Why Use This?

Ambient awareness β€” Know when your AI is working without checking screens Flow state protection β€” Visual indicator prevents interruptions during deep work Satisfying completion β€” Green light signals "ready for next task" Conversation starter β€” "My AI has a physical presence in my house"

1. Setup Your Hue Bridge

# Find your bridge IP (check router or Hue app), then run: hue setup <bridge-ip> # Example: hue setup 192.168.1.100

2. Find Your Light

hue lights # Output: # 2: Bed room 1 πŸ’‘ ON # 3: Bedroom 2 ⚫ OFF # 5: Front door πŸ’‘ ON ← Use this one

3. Use It

# AI starts thinking hue thinking 5 # AI is done hue done 5

Option 1: Copy to PATH

# Clone or download git clone https://github.com/yourusername/philips-hue-thinking.git # Add to PATH cp philips-hue-thinking/hue /usr/local/bin/ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/hue

Option 2: Use Directly

# Add to your shell profile (.zshrc or .bashrc) export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/philips-hue-thinking" # Then reload source ~/.zshrc

Core Commands

# Setup (press bridge button first!) hue setup <bridge-ip> # List all lights hue lights # Thinking mode (pulsing red) hue thinking <light-id> # Done (solid green) hue done <light-id> # Set any color hue set <light-id> <color>

Available Colors

hue set 5 red hue set 5 green hue set 5 blue hue set 5 yellow hue set 5 purple hue set 5 orange

Utility Commands

# Turn off hue off 5 # Pulse continuously hue pulse 5 --color red

With AI Assistants

Planning Mode: User: "Planning mode β€” I want to build a website" AI: [runs 'hue thinking 5'] πŸ”΄ Pulsing... "Here are my questions..." User: [answers] AI: [runs 'hue done 5'] βœ… Green "Starting build now..." [runs 'hue thinking 5'] πŸ”΄ Solid red while building AI: [runs 'hue done 5'] βœ… Green "Done!"

Shell Aliases

Add to ~/.zshrc: # Quick aliases alias think='hue thinking 5' alias done='hue done 5' Then just type: think # Light pulses red done # Light turns green

How It Works

Hue Bridge API β€” Communicates via local HTTP API Color XY Values β€” Uses CIE color space for accurate colors Background Pulse β€” Bash loop dims/brightens light Stateless β€” Stores config in ~/.config/philips-hue/

The Pulse Effect

# Brightness oscillation 254 (bright) β†’ 50 (dim) β†’ 254 # Timing ~2 second cycle Background process keeps pulsing

Configuration

Config stored in: ~/.config/philips-hue/config.json { "bridge_ip": "192.168.1.100", "username": "your-api-key" }

Requirements

Philips Hue Bridge (v2) Philips Hue color bulbs macOS/Linux with curl Bash 4.0+

"Link button not pressed"

Press the physical button on your Hue Bridge, then run setup within 30 seconds.

Light not responding

# Check connection hue lights # Verify config cat ~/.config/philips-hue/config.json

Pulse won't stop

# Kill background process pkill -f "hue-pulse-loop" # Reset light hue done 5

Future Ideas

Auto-trigger via AI session lifecycle Multiple lights for different task types Heartbeat mode (gentle pulse every 30 min) Error state (flash purple) Success celebration (rainbow effect)
