Install using Flatpak (recommended)

The simplest way to install Gneelight is by using the provided Flatpak package:

wget https://github.com/vinsce/gneelight/releases/latest/download/gneelight.flatpak -O gneelight.flatpak

Troubleshooting

If you receive the following error The application me.vinsce.Gneelight/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/42 which was not found while installing, make sure you have the Flathub repository and the Gnome runtime installed:

flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists --from flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install flathub org.gnome.Platform//42

Run from source (advanced)

If you want to run directly from the source code, first make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• AppIndicator3 Library
• Python packages listed in the requirements file

In Ubuntu, you can install the dependencies using:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
pip install -r requirements.txt

then clone this repository and start using Gneelignt:

git clone https://github.com/vinsce/gneelight.git
cd gneelight
sudo cp res/me.vinsce.Gneelight.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Menu buttons not working

Another small issue that I've come across, when I click on the about screen clicking the button that says "close" does nothing and I have to click the X in the top right corner. As a small suggestion, maybe integrate the menu for the settings into the icon on the right instead of having 2 menus that more or less do the same.

Can't run code from source

Hey I downloaded the source but every time I try to run the app that way, it gives me the following error.

~/Programming/gneelight-master$ python3 src/GneelightApp.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/robbie/Programming/gneelight-master/src/GneelightApp.py", line 7, in

Unable to detect my lights

Now that I have the app running (thanks). I am unable to detect my lights. I know you have said that you have only tested it with the white bulb. I do have LAN control set up already because I can control them using Home Assistant. I have no idea what else to try for getting them detected.

Can't install

Hey I am unable to install the app with flatpak. It gives me the following error:

flatpak install --user gneelight.flatpak error: The application me.vinsce.Gneelight/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/master which was not found

Hi there,

I would test your software, but I can get it to work.
run

I would run it without flatpack, just from source. Can you give me some advice how to use it?

Thanks Micha
