There were a couple iterations. ## Technical Details -`lib.js` contains some helper functions (and authentication to the Hue Bridge) that leverage the Philips Hue REST API. These functions are used in `main.js` to control the light strip. +`lib.js` contains some helper functions (and authentication to the Hue Bridge) that leverage the Philips Hue REST API.

Once the sequence was complete, the final color would start to glow in and out. +Following the same setTimeout strategy, I created a list of values from the bezier curve to use as the root of the setTimeout delay making the sequence speed up and then slow down to a stop.
