Philips Hue Rust Library and CLI

This is currently in development stage!

Hue-rs, let there be light!

Hue-rs is a Rust library that can be used for home automation on Philips Hue lights. It offers a basic CLI with which you can control your lights from a terminal instead of looking for your phone and making desired changes from official Philips Hue app.
