Philips Hue API Library for Node.js

The `node-hue-api` library provides a comprehensive, Promise-based API for interacting with Philips Hue Bridges from Node.js applications. It abstracts the underlying Hue REST API, offering 100% coverage for both local network and remote internet access. The current stable major version is `v4`, with `v5.0.0-beta.16` actively in development, indicating a consistent update cadence through minor and patch releases. Key differentiators include its robust handling of self-signed bridge certificates for secure local connections, built-in rate limiting to comply with Hue API best practices (since v4.0.0), and full support for modern JavaScript `async/await` patterns. It offers complete control over lights, groups, scenes, sensors, schedules, and bridge configuration.
