Here it is! My Python client for the Philips Hue system is done.
The Short:
It's available on Github.

l = h.lights.get('l3') # get bulb #3
l.bri(0) # Dimmest
l.bri(255) # Brightest ...Amazon Prime is awesome

The Idea
Amazon Prime is $80, like Sam ...

It wanted a very specific namespace string for the SOAP envelope that contained a trailing slash and Miranda wasn't sending that.
I also added the same User-Agent that the mobile app uses for the HTTP (via UDP for UPnP) headers, and fixed the ...
