PyLamp Potion

Small hobby project with the aim to control a LED Potion Desk Lamp from ThinkGeek, Inc. with:

• Infrared Remote Control
• Web interface / REST / websocket
• Homekit

...because the lamp was not geeky enough.

Can / Should be used as a build status lamp. Works nicely together with Jenkins Websocket.in Notification Plugin.

You will not find a How-To or other install instructions here. Just sample code and sample config files. Take over what you need, have fun.
