 So it doesn't look like it would be possible to get the lights flashing
 in time to the music, but some sort of mood thing may be possible
 the lights go down when a Barry White luurrve track comes on ;)

So far with the the minimal 3 bulb setup, there's been nothing like a
20s delay, just a barely perceptible latency. Check out the full-on
strobe etc the iOS Hue Disco program achieves!

thanks for reporting out pomatomus!

Can we actually control on/off in addition to coloration trough the
network? These could be a very good addition to many applications I can
think of...

I'm no coder, but it certainly looks very flexible - the API is
published and it looks like lots of people are getting interested in
doing cool stuff with these bulbs.

The phillips bulbs might not be adequate, but there are certainly other
alternatives.

using microcontroller  computer software might do the trick to change
RGB led string to follow beat, something in the lines of what they do
with TV images

However, following beat might not be the target. The couple seconds
delay might still be OK if all you want is the bulbs to change color
every songs...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Philips Hue bulbs - plugin to sync them to music via LMS?

2013-06-06 Thread pomatomus

Just got a starter set of Philips Hue bulbs, and I'm wondering if anyone
is giving thought to writing a plugin to make them work with
squeezebox/lms. There's various android and ipod apps available (Philips
own app, Ambify for light/music sync, probably more), as well as
homebrewed windows clients (winHUE), so I reckon it's a solvable
problem. Anyone fiddling with this yet?
