A simple tool to calculate the checksum for an Aqua Illumination light schedule (.aip file).
In the past, I've wanted to adjust the power level of a color channel in a schedule in finer amounts than the web interface could provide. After downloading a schedule and opening it in a text file, I found the checksum at the top and no documentation on the AI schedule file format. I reached out to support but never heard back more than "we'll pass the feedback on". A while later, someone had dug into the web UI's Javascript and made a Powershell version that would generate a new checksum and someone else had converted that into Javascript for use in their project. I much prefer Python over either of those languages for the tools I write, so I set out to write a replacement. A couple nights later and here we are.
This relies on numpy to run, so be sure to install that.
pip3 install numpy
Simply point it to your .aip file via the command line and it'll generate the new checksum for you. You'll need to modify the file to include the new checksum.
$ ./calculate_checksum.py -s "test_schedules/AI Setting.aip"

I do not take any responsibility if your schedule bricks your light, burns out an LED, fries your power supply, or anything else.
