No username yet?
  1. Open http://<bridge-ip>/debug/clip.html in a browser on your home Wi-Fi.
  2. URL /api, body {"devicetype":"nfc_tags#phone"}.
  3. Press the round button on the bridge, then POST within 30 seconds.
  4. The response contains "username": "…": that's your key. Keep it private; anyone on your network with it can control your lights.
…or paste the JSON you got from the CLIP debugger

Paste the response of /api/<username>/lights, /groups, or the full /api/<username>. You can paste lights and groups one after the other: they get merged.

Select a light or room to see it here.

Each bulb shows what that light can do: a white bulb ignores a colour, colour bulbs only reach the colours their hardware can make. A screen can't show light exactly, so take the colours as a close guide.

5 Requests for your tag

Select at least one light or room.
