PHue++ v1.06 A set of C++ classes to encapsulate the Philips Hue Lights API

Welcome to PHue++, a set of C++ classes which encapsulate the Philips Hue Lights API as defined at https://developers.meethue.com for Windows. The Hue API is implemented as a RESTful interface. PHue++ uses the author's WinHTTPWrappers classes to provide the HTTP connectivity and JSON++ to handle the JSON parsing. All the functionality provided is included in a C++ namespace called PhilipsHue and is included in one PHue++.h header file.

Usage

• To use the various functions and classes in the framework, simply #include PHue++.h from the test application in your application.
• You will also need to download the author's JSON++ separately from http://www.naughter.com/jsonpp.html. This provides the JSON parsing functionality used by PHue++.
• You will also need to download author's WinHTPPWrappers separately from http://www.naughter.com/winhttpwrappers.html. This provides the HTTP fetch functionality used by PHue++.
• The classes are only supported on VC 2017 or later.

The enclosed zip file contains the PHue++ source code and a simple VC 2017 console based application which exercises all of the functionality of the class framework.
