First Hyperion project

  • Hi everybody,


    I'm new to hyperion and I'm seeking for some assistance. I've read the online documentation but I still have some questions.
    I'd like to use hyperion ambilight effect on my windows 11 PC monitor.
    My project is to use a SK6812 Led strip, connected to a esp32 running WLED. The led strip will be powered by a 5V Power Supply, and the esp board connected to the PC via a USB cable.

    Questions:
    - Will this setup work? Do I need anything else?
    - Will I need to use a screen grabber?

    - Will this setup work with Kodi?


    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Common Ground.

    Yes you always need a grabber. You want to install Hyperion on the PC? There are internal and external grabbers or the possibility of a USB grabber. This can also work with kodi.

  • Thanks a lot for yout reply. Yes, I will install hyperion on a windows PC and I'd like to achieve the ambilight effect on its monitor.

    I'm familiar with WLED and I know how to connect power suplly, led strip and esp32 board.


    So, adding a grabber will complete my setup, right?

    I'm also not sure if I understand the difference between the different grabbers you mentioned. By internal you mean the one used by hyperion?

    Can you clarify a little bit, please?

    Hyperion has a Windows Grabber built in, and alternatively there is Hyperion Screen Capture (Windows Grabber).

    You should just install and test it. ;)

    I am happy about feedback.
