More info

Joyce is passing requests through to a Philips Hue lightbulb in her kitchen. The responses you receive from these endpoints are from her proxy server (not the Philips Hue device). If you want to set up something like this in your own home, check out this blog post: Enable public access to connected devices in your local network

Turn on the lights in Joyce's kitchen by sending requests in the folder Working in Production.
