Picoleaf

Picoleaf is a tiny CLI tool for controlling Nanoleaf.

Installation

macOS

picoleaf is available via a Homebrew Tap:

brew install paulrosania/command-home/picoleaf

You can also download a precompiled binary from the releases page.

Source

Make sure Go is installed, and that $GOPATH/bin is on your $PATH. Then run:

go install github.com/paulrosania/picoleaf

Getting Started

Picoleaf expects a .picoleafrc file in your home directory, with the following settings:

host=<hostname or ip address>:<port>
access_token=<token>

You can find your Nanoleaf's IP address via your router console. Your Nanoleaf's port is probably 16021.

Alternatively, you may be able to use mDNS service discovery. For example, on macOS you can do the following:

$ dns-sd -Z _nanoleafapi | grep -o '\w*\-.*\.local'

# => 16021 Nanoleaf-Light-Panels-xx-xx-xx.local
#
# Use this as your `host` setting. Don't forget to append the port number.
#
# (You'll need to Ctrl-C to wrap up, since `dns-sd` listens indefinitely.)

To create an access token, you'll need to do the following:

1. On your Nanoleaf controller, hold the on-off button for 5-7 seconds until the LED starts flashing in a pattern.
2. Within 30 seconds, run: curl -iLX POST http://<ip address>:<port>/api/v1/new

This should print a token to your console.

[macOS only] .picoleafrc creation helper script

If you are using macOS, you can use a helper script to run these commands:

1. On your Nanoleaf controller, hold the on-off button for 5-7 seconds until the LED starts flashing in a pattern.
2. Within 30 seconds, run: ./contrib/macos/create_picoleafrc > ~/.picoleafrc
