light-control

Control a light using the Home Assistant Rest API.

I use this in concert with the waybar config in my dotfiles to control a light

Configuration

By default this will attempt to load a configuration file from light-control/config.json under the user configuration directory specified determined by os.UserConfigDir.

It is not required to use this configuration file, as all the information can be alternately passed via the flags specified below.
