KeyLight CLI

A simple command-line interface to control Elgato Key Light devices using Babashka.

Prerequisites

• Babashka
• An Elgato Key Light device on your network

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/versality/keylight-cli
cd keylight-cli

2. Make the script executable (optional):

chmod +x keylight.bb

Usage

bb keylight.bb <ip-address> [on|off]

Examples

Toggle the light (switch between on and off):

bb keylight.bb 192.168.1.123

Turn the light on:

bb keylight.bb 192.168.1.123 on

Turn the light off:

bb keylight.bb 192.168.1.123 off

How It Works

The script communicates with the Elgato Key Light's HTTP API (port 9123) to control the device. It can:

• Query the current state of the light
• Turn the light on or off
• Toggle the light's state

Dependencies

• babashka.http-client
• cheshire (for JSON parsing)
