Philips Hue Gradient Lightstrip Ambience on my 98" TV

  • Hello experts,


    I have bought a new 98" TV. As my Philips Hue Play Gardient Lightstrip only goes up to 75". Unfortunately Philips doesn't offer any longer, so I bought 6m Philips Hue Gradient Lightstrip Ambience and placed it around the TV, all 4 sides starting at the bottom left. Unfortunately, the HUE hardware does not support these Lightstrips as a Play Gardient Strip but only as a lamp.

    Now I have grabbed my Raspi4 and my HDMI 4K Grabber and would like to realize the Ambilight with Hyperion.

    1st question, is this even possible

    2nd question, how.....


    Many thanks for your help

  • Any more ideas to my request? Up to now I just get a dot as answer. What ever that means. :/


    Best regards

    Did you configure the strip as an entertainment group?

    If done, do you see more than one „light“ in Hyperion?


    I would assume you should see 7 segments (lights), but this is only available via Entertainment.

  • Hello,

    Thank you very much for your answers. I have created an entertainment area in the HUE app. But unfortunately the Lightstrip is only recognized as one lamp. I can only choose whether it is mounted horizontally or vertically and the height. Nothing more. I can't say around the TV.

    Maybe here is the common problem. I enclosed some Screenshots of how I define the entertainmen area.


    Thank you!!!

  • As much as possible or reccomended by you. I have a 6m LED Strip arround the TV starting in the down left corner, view frontside of the TV.

    First thing first…


    What do you see in Hyperion, if you reconfigure after an Entertainment group is now there?


    If you see more than one LED you can apply the mapping in line how the strip is setup.
