Reddit Threads on Programmatically Controlling ErgoDox LEDs

This thread links to a bunch of people's work on communicating with the ErgoDox (or, more generally, QMK) from code. ErgoDox tweeted this in response to me asking if there was some way to integrate the keyboard's LEDs with e.g. HomeKit... ultimately, I want to control the keyboard lighting the same way I control the Philips Hue lamp on my desk.

Something to hack on someday.

Aaron Parecki's Home Automation Masterpost

IndieWeb supernerd Aaron shared this post on Micro.blog the other day, and, having just bought Hue bulbs, I definitely want to dig into this. He has a focus on doing home automation while staying off "the cloud", which is totally my jam.
